Pension Dr Geissler Hotel Vienna

We stayed in the Dr. Geissler Pension and had a wonderful experience. The pension is located just one metro stop from the downtown and Stephansdom cathedral at Schwedenplatz. From the metro stop, it was about one block of walking. We arrived in Vienna at the south train station and getting to the pension involved riding the tram and transfering on the metro, but once we were there, it was a convenient location. We also arrived at 9 in the morning, as we just came off a night train, but they allowed us to check in and freshen up before heading out. Maybe we couldn't do that if it was during a busier season. The pension is located in a plain white building and the rooms are scattered on the various floors. The main check in counter and breakfast area is on the 8th floor. Our room was on the 5th floor.

The room was very clean and consisted of two single beds pushed together. We had a couch, sink and tv in our room. The bathroom and toilet were shared among the 8 rooms on our floor associated with the pension, but we didn't have any problems sharing. The only complaint I had was the noise of the traffic outside - but I guess that's what you get when you sleep with the window open.

Breakfast was the typical rolls with meat, cheese or jams. An internet cafe was located about halfway between the pension and metro stop. The cost was about 60 Euros/night.
