Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Mariahilf

A comfortable hotel in the center of things, the Mariahilf is across the river from the Old City close to the Kunsthaus. Though the modern rooms are nothing fancy, the hotel is in a pedestrian zone, so the noises you'll hear will be church bells and the sound of people hurrying to and fro. A tram stop is just steps away to take you to the city center, or you can cross one of the two nearby bridges and reach the Altstadt on foot after a short walk.
