"Travelers who want to step back in time love the ambience here." Full review
EuroCheapo "A four-star option in the gentrified neighborhood of Leopoldstadt, the Hotel Stefanie is closer to the Schwedenplatz—just over the bridge crossing the Donau Canal—than many Innere Stadt hotels." Full review
i
The staff's attitude still reflects the old Leopoldstadt: ask for a restaurant recommendation in Leopoldstadt, and the concierge is likely to reply "There really isn't much of anything."
