Rough Guide "Grandiose, century-old flagship of the Austria Trend hotel chain, and preferred pad of visiting opera stars thanks to its proximity to the Staatsoper."

Avoid the dark interior rooms and singles, which are small and plain, but beware the excessive street noise that emanates upward from the outside.
