Vienna Environs Hotels

In general accommodations in the countryside are pretty basic. Although this is a lightly traveled region, many hotels have received complete makeovers, so they are far more stylish than they were a generation ago. Most establishments are family-run, and somebody on staff usually speaks English. You'll probably have to carry your own bags, and sometimes climb stairs in older buildings. Booking ahead is a good idea, as most places have relatively few rooms, particularly rooms with private baths. The standard country pillows and bed coverings are down-filled, so if you're allergic to feathers ask for blankets.
