There are also two underground stations within a short walk, and the airport bus stop is just two blocks away.
Most guests are thoroughly charmed by the hotel's unique, classical decor, which includes hallway carpets printed with the steps of the Viennese waltz. The rooms are generally described as similarly modern and fun, with comfortable beds and terrific rainshowers.
The staff are widely described as very friendly and efficient, eager to help tourists with their sight-seeing plans and to answer any questions guests may have. Many guests praise the breakfast buffet for the quality and variety of its pastries, eggs, meats, cheeses, breads and fresh fruit, as well as exceptionally good coffee.
The hotel is located in a pedestrian only area, and so it is necessary to carry your luggage for the last 30 metres over stones which make it difficult to pull wheeled bags along.
A few guests have reported issues with controlling the room climate, particularly during unusually warm days in late fall. Some also found opening the window let in too much street noise for a good night's sleep.
Several guests who accidentally tried to check in at the "wrong one" note that there are several Mercure hotels in the first district, including a larger Mercure property just down the street from the Mercure Vienna First.
