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.

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.

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..

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
