Karmeliter Flats

Basic clean small self contained apartment. perfect for business travel. near river and lots of local pubs and restaurants.

We stayed at the apartments at Grosse Schiffgasse. It is a very central location with many tourist spots walking distance and rest are very well connected by metro. The apartment is very comfortable with facilities like a small kitchen with a fridge and microwave. Couple of suggestions from my experience are: 1. Please keep a vacuum cleaner in the apartment. We were there for 6 nights and the room can get very very dusty. Since there is no cleaning service during your stay maintaining a clean flat becomes a challenge. 2. Please do make clear that there is no individual washing machine in each apartment. Apart from lift breaking down for the last two days of our stay (we were on the 6th floor , phew!) we had a very comfortable stay. I would definitely recommend considering an apartment instead of a hotel if you are staying for a few days.

The location is really great, close to the underground, close to Karmelrmarkt which has lots of cafe's and restaurants to choose from, the area is also very quiet and safe. This is not a serviced apartment therefore it will not be cleaned the whole time you are there, stay here if you don't mind this. I like the convenience of having a kitchen as we like to have milk, eggs and juices stored in the refrigerator. We brought our own tea, sugar, coffee and a few dishwasher pods and laundry pods. The only inconvenience we had was due to being a weekend and Easter holiday, tissue paper and trash bags were not replenished right away, they should have already stored these necessities for the duration of our stay (8 days) and not to have us request these via email.

A little off the 'tourist' route, but all the better for it. Short walk into the city center. Very modern building and interior decor. Door entry access worked really well, 24hr reception is via telephone and they were very helpful and answered straight away when we lost our access codes. wifi was down for our 2 night stay, but they sent an engineer over immediately to fix.
