Excellent Breakfast

“The breakfast experience at Altstadt Vienna was nothing short of really good. Each morning offered a good assortment of fresh juices, various cold cuts, and an array of smoked fish. I loved that the eggs changed daily, providing a refreshing twist. The cozy breakfast area felt welcoming and almost like a luxurious home rather than a hotel dining room.” view full review
