A family-run business, with slightly
over-educated university grad students at the desk. Also, not the cheapest place
by any standard, but, after having checked another hotel, that charged nearly
the same, was more backpacker oriented, but offered a whole lot less, the Marco
Polo, I decided to stay here. It was worth it. The place is just a few years
old, and impeccable, superbly located, and serves a great breakfast. Ask for
water, it is not generally served, but cheerfully provided. Getting around town
is a breeze, with bus stops and metro right outside the door. Across the street
is a Spar Markt, a German grocery chain and convenient to shop in. Go to the
nearby riverfront and take the trolleycar up and down the river, to see the
new theater, and the old parliament buildings. Getting to the hotel is a straight
shot from the train terminal. After departing my train from Vienna, I walked
toward the station main exit, but then, to avoid all of the touts and taxi drivers,
exited left onto the main street at the side of the station. Taking the first
major street left, then walking for a good while, keeping the station always
in sight, until I got to KLu. There make a right and you see banners advertising
the hotel. On the other hand, in most cases, take a cab, or the bus. Directions
are on the website.
