Stasta — Restaurant in Vienna

Comfortable, surprisingly quiet despite being on a main road. I didn't get to eat at the restaurant (perhaps another time…), apart from breakfast, which was adequate. ||The air conditioner worked (I was there during an oppressive, humid heat wave), but it was very noisy.||Clean, comfortable. But the shower…||The tiling, decoration and cleanliness of the shower room were impeccable; but the shower really let it down, quite unnecessarily. At home I have a thermostatic shower mixer. 2 decades on, the water temperature barely flickers if somebody runs a tap elsewhere - these things work. But the Stasta shower had one of those ghastly mixer taps which are a bit stiff to turn, and where the smallest of movements turns the water from unpleasantly cold to dangerously hot. I didn't feel it was safe for my 7-year-old grandchild having a shower. Once you manage to select an OK temperature, the temperature fluctuated wildly in use. ||And its failings didn't stop there. The tap sticks out, so it was all too easy to nudge it accidentally while showering.||I'm pretty short-sighted, so I like to wear my glasses into the shower, and to have somewhere safe to put them while I wash my hair. But the only place for this was a too-small (?soap dish) where they perched precariously.||So - a great hotel stay, marred by the...

stayed for 2 nights end of may 13. we have friends in Liesing and had stayed before as a family before but this time just as a couple. the welcome and service was excellent. the staff were all extremely pleasant and both mornings at a very well stocked buffet breakfast the owners asked if there was anything more they could do for us. i asked for non feather pillows on the first morning and was shown to a choice of 5 different pillows on the wall from which to select - never seen that before. beds were comfortable and the rooms/bathrooms very clean. free bottles of water also welcome. ||2 small issues - water pressure in shower a bit low. fine for washing but my wife had trouble getting conditioner washed out of her hair. also the temp in breakfast room was a bit warm even allowing for the "englishes wetter". ||great value for money though and lovely people. we have also eaten here previously and found the food/wine of great quality and value. some holidays they do a 2...
