Sleeping
Staff at the tourist office have a complete list of accommodation. While the offerings are
fine, splurging is better done by the Neusiedler See rather than in Burgenland's capital.
Hotel-Pension Vicedom

( 642 22;

;
Vicedom 5; s/d from €55/95; )
This bright and breezy three-star guest-
house has quite basic but contemporary rooms and is located in a 21st-century building
with an epicentral location. Reception is only open between 7am and 9pm, though recep-
tionists can be summoned at any time. Very good breakfast and free wi-fi included.
Hotel Ohr
( 624 60;
www.hotelohr.at
; Rusterstrasse 51; s €58-122, d €79-152; )
The Ohr is a family-run
hotel with nicely styled modern rooms and within walking distance of the centre. There's
quite a large decor difference between
standard
and
komfort
rooms with the higher class
more of this millennium than the last. Its rustic-styled restaurant is one of the best in
town.

Haus der Begegnung
PENSION
$$
( 632 90;
www.hdb-eisenstadt.at
;
Kalvarienbergplatz 11; s/d €49/83; )
This church-affiliated guest-
house is spotless, very quiet and well run. The 31 rooms are simple but comfortable and
it has its own grassed cafe area. It's open to everyone, but obviously not the place to stay
if you're planning an all-night rave.
DISCOUNT CARD
If you are staying overnight in Eisenstadt or in towns on the Neusiedler See, make sure you get the
Neusiedler
See Card
(
www.neusiedler-see.at
), which gives you free transport on buses and trains around the lake and on
town buses, as well as free or discount admission to many sights.
Take the registration form given to you by your hotel to an issuing office (tourist offices are the easiest) and
you'll be given the card free for the duration of your stay. Available between late March and late October only.
