For a superb home away from home, check into these roomy apart-
ments smack in the action of up-and-coming Leopoldstadt. Occupying a renovated Bie-
dermeier house, the apartments are dressed in modern furniture and
Jugendstil
-inspired
paintings. It's a short walk to the Karmelitermarkt, the Prater and the Augarten, and the
subway whips you to the centre of town in less than 10 minutes.

This midranger looks nondescript on the face of things, but its merits
are many: it's five minutes' walk from Prater, two U-Bahn stops from Stephansplatz, and
staff bend over backwards to please. Done up in pastel colours, rooms are streamlined
and immaculate, all with flat-screen TVs and kettles. Breakfast is a wholesome spread of
fruit, cereals, cold cuts and eggs.

It may seem nondescript on the face of things, but you really won't believe what a cosy,
homely hostel this is. We love the dorms with mezzanine-style beds, laid-back lounge,
kitchen with free basics and laptops for guest use. Lily, your South African host, puts on
a great spread at breakfast.
