Leonardo Hotel Vienna Hauptbahnhof
Great Location as you are opposite the Main train station in Vienna, 15 minutes by train from Airport or 20 minutes by cab, the rooms were clean and modern breakfast 18 euros per person, so we decided to have breakfast in the station area. Would highly recommend staying here as it was good value ...
