My stay at Hotel Kaiserin Elisabeth was fantastic, thanks to its prime location just a stone's throw from St. Stephen's Cathedral. The rooms were beautiful and had a classic charm, although I realized I missed having a kettle for tea or coffee in my room. The staff were super friendly and always ready to help with any queries, but I did notice there could be a bit more variety in the breakfast menu. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that I'd totally recommend!
