Hotel Shermin - Vienna

8.5

very nice staff. a close walk to the downtown area. a washer, with hanging racks for laundry. overall very nice stay. maybe just get rid of the red couch- that is what one sees when you first enter and looks ratty. otherwise clean nice apartment and very spacious

We stayed in the apartment, which was just beautiful, it was very close to and within walking distance to all the tourist spots,there were many eating places around and a supermarket within 2 minutes walk. We were on the second floor, there is a lift so this was a welcome surprise. A great place to stay

6.4

The rooms were great and overall location good to all attractions. The problem is the entrance and steps leading to the pension. Plastic flowers, artifical grass, and over all looked pretty scary.

This questionnaire doesn't exactly apply as we stayed in one of their apartments rather than the hotel. It was an excellent accommodation and close to the subway. Arriving on Sunday in Vienna is a problem as most stores are closed including the grocery stores. The hotel is a bit hard to find as it has a small front opening on to a plaza (Rilke Platz) which is hard to find. Most people that we asked hadn't heard of it even though we were very close to it.

An easy 10 minute stroll into the centre along one road. There are also some beautiful buildings and churches very close to the Hotel Shermin. Don't miss Karlskirch. The owners of the Shermin are very friendly and helpful. Everything is spotless and the breakfast is good. I would recommend this hotel to all my friends.

9.2

We stayed 5 nights in the apartment (not the hotel). No breakfast or service, but extremely spacious, private and with all facilities, including washing machine! Good location, and probably the most comfortable and best of our accommodation in 5 weeks of Europe. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend.

9.2

Was very warm, functional, clean with very good buffet breakfast and staff who were eager to please. The room was quite large with sofa and reading chair in addition to the large bed, desk and armoire. Very good location, only 5 minutes walk from Opera House and 10 minute walk in other direction to the Belevedere.

9.2

We stayed in one of their apartments a few minutes away from the actual hotel. If you want a self catering apartment, a 10-15 minute walk from all the main sites in Vienna, this is it. There is a supermarket close by and the apartment was very comfortable- bedroom, living room, bathroom and small kitchen. For 2 adults and 2 teenagers it was perfect (sofa bed in living room used by teenagers, double bedroom by adults).

Well located, within easy walking distance to underground and supermarkets. An additional set of keys would be an improvement. An enjoyable stay!!

9.5

The hotel is about a 10-to-15-minute walk from major Vienna attractions, and only five minutes from the underground. The staff is one of the friendliest and most helpful we encountered during our trip. We are two sisters from Texas and had requested separate beds and promptly received an e-mail from the hotel that they would be able to handle our request. The staff goes out of its way to be helpful and make one feel very welcome. We highly recommend this wonderful little hotel right in the cultural heart of Vienna. Bring along the hotel's directions because taxi drivers have a difficult time finding the place.

9.9

This was the last of twelve hotels on our trip to eastern Europe. It was the best of all places in terms of: accomodations, host, location, and city ambiance. Vienna is a great city and the Hotel Shermin and Sophia the hostess made our stay an outstanding and memorable one. From providing us with maps and detailed directions, to arranging an evening performance of the symphony, Hotel Shermin was four stars.

9.3

Very well located, large clean rooms, good service.

Estuvimos 4 días en Viena en el mes de Agosto. Eramos tres personas y queríamos compartir habitación. Hicimos la reserva bastante tarde y el Hotel nos indicó que no quedaban habitaciones triples por lo que nos enviaron a un apartamento (no incluye limpieza ni desayuno). !Magnífico! Limpio, bien amueblado, con todo lo que pudiéramos necesitar: lavadora y su jabón, cocina perfectamente equipada con todo lo necesario para desayunar o incluso cocinar: sal, azucar, café etc. No lo utilizamos pero la posibilidad existía. Emplazamiento lo suficientemente céntrico como para llegar a la Catedral de San Esteban a pie. En fin, muy recomendamble para quien no quiera pagar un dineral en alojamiento sin renunciar a ninguna comodidad.Trato del personal del hotel muy amable.

8.2

Our only criticism was that the hotel is located in a maze of one-way streets and we spent 2 hours trying to find it by car! However, the family owners were extremely helpful and welcoming, once we arrived. It's in easy walking distance to the Opera and the other sights of Vienna.

We were a mature couple, husband and wife and stayed at one of the apartments. I went to a scientific meeting and my wife enjoyed touring the surroundings and central location.

8.0

Our first trip to Vienna, an amazing city. Staff at the Shermin were friendly, helpful and welcoming. We were driving from Prague and the pre arrival attention was excellent with comprehensive directions to hotel and parking while there. The shermin is situated ideally for exploring the city by foot although the tram system is fun and easy to use. For the price range the rooms were simple, clean and relatively spacious. Nice buffet breakfast. Perfect for a city stay and we would definately use the hotel again.

Great little privately run pension. Able to walk everywhere if we wished , but location to transport was excellent.. The lady who runs this establishment is really lovely and obviously loves what she does... the breakfast was fantastic.. probably the best we had on our 6 week europe tour..

9.1

A quiet, pleasant, small hotel conveniently located close to the city centre offering a good range of choice for breakfast. I found the staff and manager very helpful and would recommend the hotel for anyone looking for good accommodation at a reasonable price.

7.8

The service was generally good and the staff very welcoming and helpful. My major complaint is that the room I was given had a window that opened onto a small service courtyard in the centre of the building. This meant that the room was very dark in the daytime, with a view of exctraction ducting, and got very little air circulation from outside.

8.5

We stayed in the apartment, which is not shown in pictures on the web site. It was excellent - clean, quiet, with no hidden extra charges, and for the centre of the city, very good value! Anyone else staying there should check out the ice cream parlour round the corner on the Hauptstrasse.

8.1

Nice basic hotel. Good location to wlak into old towna nd around vienna. our room was the closest to reception and was quite noisy in the morning

9.2

Extremely pleased, highly recommend.

We stayed at the Hotel Shermin for 4 days. The proprietor was very attentive and helpful, and she took great pains to make sure that everything was satisfactory. Breakfast was unexpectedly good, with an excellent assortment of cold cuts, etc. The room was very large for an establishment of this category. The subway is 1 1/2 blocks from the hotel, and major sights are within walking distance. We plan to stay there again in the future.

9.4

This pension is great value for money. It's an older building but the furnishings are reasonably modern. Close enough to easily walk into town, and less than 5 mins walk to a u-bahn (metro) station and some sights. Above all else, the staff are excellent.

7.8

Location is quite OK, about 5 minute walk to underground or, if you enjoy walking as I do, about 20 minutes to the centre (in fact you can see Stephemdom from outside). The bed was firm, the shower, sink & WC all OK. Medium-sized supermarket was close by. No air-conditioning but I had mild weather so could not assess whether or not it would be needed on a hot night. Criticisms: 1) No elevator, but not an issue if you are travelling light. 2) The position of the TV in the room was very poor in relation to the bed and the chair was not comfortable to sit in for a long time. 3) Hotel's internet rate was expensive. 4) I thought it was slightly expensive for the facilities and position.

8.3

Nice hotel close to the centre of Wien

8.2

We has a difficult time locating the hotel because of its unique location. I think that a more specific map would be appropriate. The staff was very informative and outstanding in every way. I do wish that rooms in Europe provided access to ice and soft drinks.

7.9

It was not clear from the reservation that the apartment we booked was in a different building and different area from the hotel. We would have liked to know this beforehand.
