Almersberg Vacation Packages

I stayed with my mum for 5 days and I would definitely go back! Staff were so nice and polite and always with a smile on their face! Really nice variety of breakfast with a big buffet and great location!

I was looking for a place in Vienna's Innere Stadt for my week in Vienna. I'm glad I chose Pension Dr Geissler. Things I enjoyed: * The location is perfect, just minutes from the subway and St Stephen's and other landmarks. * My room was really nice, had a shower (from the description I thought this was shared). Toilet was shared among 4 rooms on floor and I never had an instance where it was busy when I needed it. Room had a TV and bed was comfortable. * Included breakfast was a nice touch each morning. * I arrived late (after 11 p.m.) due to a train into town. I was nervous about this since it's after official check in hours. But when I rang the outside bell, someone immediately answered and helped me get in and up to my room. Cautions: * Initial communication could be better: when I first emailed them asking about procedure for arriving late, it took a few days for someone to respond, saying my message was in their spam. I'm not sure how to get around this, for a customer. * Breakfast is on the 8th floor (along with pension office); my room was on the 5th. Other rooms are scattered here and there in the building which is shared with other apartments and businesses. It's many stairs if you walk. There's an elevator, although at times it's fairly slow. * Towels are not changed daily -- mine were only changed when I left them on the floor. Maybe this is standard, but nothing in the room indicated it. * Plant near office/courtyard window needed watering.

The Palais was located in an excellent location across from a small park very close to the river. It was also walkable to all of the main attractions in Vienna. In the immediate neighbourhood were a number of very good restaurants, with better prices and quality food than the main tourist center. We greatly appreciated an early check-in after a long overnight flight from Toronto. Using the Expedia app to let them know we would get there early was helpful. The restaurant breakfast was very good, albeit pricey. The ceiling to floor windows overlooking the park were a nice surprise as was a grocery store across the street. A very safe and walkable local neighborhood. A five minute walk away was a path that extended along the river in both directions, perfect for a slow walk or a jog in the morning!
