House of Time - Fancy Suite Vienna

Access to this highly unsatisfactory "hotel" is through an electrically lockable manhole, requiring assistance from the owner. Navigating the acrylic glass spiral staircase is another adventure. The entire property is built from misused components with the sauna, the only functioning amenity, nearly causing an injury. The lighting is flawed, triggered erratically by motion detectors. I chose this property primarily for the roof terrace as a smoker. Upon arrival, a non-English speaking lady welcomed me. She struggled with my suitcase and the slow, failing elevator. The apartment was disappointingly akin to a swinger's club, with inadequate lighting and dubious cleanliness. The bathroom emitted a peculiar smell and had an inconveniently placed toilet on the gallery. The kitchen, a greasy, sloping niche, housed a subpar Nescafe machine, and minimal refreshments in the minibar. I decided not to stay a second night and requested a refund from the uncooperative owner who eventually charged my credit card, which I consider fraudulent.

House of time is a feast for the eyes and senses. A surprise five star plus experience at reasonable prices. Tomas and his delightful wife are hosts at this wonderful place and were incredibly accomodating.Nothing was too much trouble . Taxis ,restaurant booking even hot milk for my coffee. Breakfasts were first class and beautifully presented . Close to the centre without all the tourist hustle and bustle. We loved our 5 day stay here . Clean spacious and quiet . Stay here .
