Re: Apartment in inner city

by kakapo

I am not familiar with the Naglergasse apartments but I have stayed at Pension Sacher several times since 1999.

All but one of the apartments looks down on Stephansplatz (the square outside St Stephans cathedral), at about roof level with the cathedral. From most rooms you'll get a unique eye-level view of the beautiful tiled roof, and a birds-eye view of the horse and carriages waiting in the street below, and all the action in the square.

The location is unbeatable, the building is secure, and there is a Ubahn station in the square below. There is a bakery next door (or perhaps next but one)and a supermarket within easy walking distance.

Everything is clean, and your hostess is friendly, knowledgable and speaks English very well. The rooms are warm in winter and beds are comfy and clean. The kitchens are quite small (you wouldn't want to entertain a large party) but stocked with all you need to prepare your own meals during your stay. Plenty of restaurants and cafes within walking distance if you decide not to self cater.

Be aware that the decor is rather old fashioned - although I consider that to be part of the charm. I simply recommend you check the room photos on the website so you are clear about what you are getting in terms of furnishing etc - this is not the decor of a 5 star hotel, but it is definitely a 5 star location.

You can walk from here to anywhere in central Vienna, or easily walk to the Ubahn in the square below, or to the Swedenplatz tramstop a few blocks away if you prefer to use public transport.
