Hotel Das Tigra

Economical City Center Hotel

Big Buffet Breakfast

Vienna's hotel rooms tend to be on the pricier side, but the four-star Best Western Plus Hotel Das Tigra surprises with its affordable rates. Design in the hotel is simple and contemporary with thoughtful finishing touches like flowers and free chocolates in the lobby.

Breakfast features a delightful mix of continental favorites like salad, cheese, breads, cereals, and fruits laid out in buffet form. While the hotel's bar may be small, it does provide a sweet spot to grab a glass of wine or beer before heading out for the evening.

Business travelers are catered for with a large meeting room that is able to accommodate up to 28 people. Special seminar packages that include technology, soft drinks, and snacks and can be tailored to suit all your conference needs.

Convenient Location

One of the best things about Das Tigra is its location. Located in Vienna's popular 1st District, the Tigra is on a quiet street just a few minutes stroll away from the State Opera House, the Hofburg, and the Spanish Riding School. Less than three minutes walk away is the U3 underground station which connects to major destinations throughout the city. The helpful reception staff are always on hand to offer local restaurant recommendations and book opera and show tickets. Taxis and transfers can also be arranged for airport runs.

Excellent Value Rooms

Rooms blend modern amenities and simple decor to provide a comfortable and convenient home away from home. Standard rooms offer the most bang for your buck while the junior suite is suitable for those who want a little more space and artistic decor in their Viennese abode. All rooms come with WiFi, air-conditioning, complimentary newspapers, Flat-screen TV, and bathroom toiletries. The coffee machine lets guests cut costs by preparing hot beverages in room.

The Bottom Line

Despite its prime location, the hotel does have several downsides, such as the lack of a restaurant, swimming pool, or fitness center. When you factor in the price in comparison to other hotels of a the same star rating it certainly stands above them in terms of cost. Some may find the decor a little bland and lacking the grandeur found in Vienna's more exclusive establishments, but overall this hotel is a hit with the budget conscious traveler who is more interested in exploring the magical city than lounging in the lobby.
