Pension Vera

We stayed for four days to visit our son who lives in Vienna. Hotels are really expensive so we were really pleased to discover the much cheaper, Pension Vera. Taxis and trams stop right outside the building which is almost in the centre of Vienna, the train station is nearby. It's easy to walk past the door, which sits between 2 shops, so look up and you will see the sign. The building is typical of Vienna, large double doors and long tiled corridors but there is a lift, I think an ordinary sized wheelchair would fit into the lift but there are small flights of stairs up to your room. My room was small and basic and smelt lovely, like flowers, and was very clean. The pillows are the softest, most beautiful pillows I have ever slept on, and the bed was extremely comfortable. There was a hair drier snd a kettle in my room, and a large, communal fridge freezer at the end of my corridor. My room looked out over a small, square garden. There is no gardener so it was wild but I really liked it. The small, bathroom showers are hot! Vienna is so gorgeous, you will want to be out exploring so as somewhere to sleep, Pension Vera is quiet and perfect. The lady on reception was warm and funny. You can buy a continental breakfast for 7 euros, but there are cafés next door and across the other side of the road. A Spar supermarket is a few yards along so you can buy your basics from there. I will definitely stay at Pension Vera again, it is what in the UK we refer to as cheap and cheerful. My room was cleaned every day while I stayed.

“Good value Basic accomodation”

Clean basic 2-star Hotel. Good transport links to attractions. U Ban station 10 minutes walk or trams stop outside Hotel.

Some rooms a bit small but as a place to leave your stuff and sleep, it's fine. Walls a bit thin but was not a problem. Most people seem to be out all day and just come back to sleep. Ther is a Disco in the basement 2 nights a week, you can hear it very faintly but it was not a problem. Hotel is remarkably quite for a city centre one, most rooms seem to look onto central courtyards. I heard no trafic noise.

I spent a night with my wife in the guesthouse "Pension Vera" in Vienna before Christmas.There are som plusses and minuses. The location is not bad, close to the city centre, however, there are certain inconveniences that you should be aware of it. The room is quite small, especially the bathroom (only shower is available) although the room was clean. Good point that there is a small refrigerator in the room (not a minibar, but still it is useful.) but there is no free bottled mineral water in the room as usually provided in similar hotels, guesthouses in Poland or Lithuania. The biggest negative thing is the lack of breakfast. Pension Vera no longer serves breakfast for reasons unknown to me, instead you receive a voucher which is valid for some discounts in the nearby dirty and unpleasant Alser Caffee (opposite the building)ty. There was also a confusion with our booking when we checked in, the registration desk guy did not remember whether we have prepaid for the breakfast or not which was allegedly payable extra when we booked the room. To be fair there are also minor good things (unfortunately not too many) : there is smart TV in the room whose picture quality ich is quite enjoyable. and there is a free WIFI internet access. So, you should decide whether a stay for a night in such a hotel is worth for 65 euros or not. I would definitely think it over in such an environment.
