Scene

Family-run inn with a classic Viennese style and a romantic atmosphere

The Pension Aviano is a family-run property that opened in 1987 and features homey interiors done in classic Viennese style. Narrow hallways sport floral printed carpets, while the lobby is not much more than a small wooden front desk, brochures, and a computer available for guest use. The only other public space is the library, which has a small balcony. However, the space could use a refresh. The owners try to maintain the upkeep here and there, such as partly painting during the winter of 2015, but some of the areas feel a bit tired, and some guests might find the classic decor old-fashioned. Overall, this small property attracts couples on vacation who are drawn by its intimate service and central location.

Location

Within walking distance of some attractions, shopping, and public transport

Pension Aviano is located in central Vienna, within walking distance of many attractions. The popular shopping street of Kärntnerstrasse is just around the corner, while restaurants, shops, and cafes abound on surrounding streets. St. Stephen’s Cathedral is a five-minute walk away, while Hofburg Palace takes seven minutes to reach on foot. It’s too far to walk to Schonbrunn Palace, but guests can reach it via taxi in 13 minutes. Public transportation is also nearby as there’s a U-Bahn stop just a four-minute walk away. The Vienna International Airport is about a 25-minute drive away. 

Rooms

Classic-style rooms with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi

The rooms at Pension Aviano are fairly spacious, featuring classic Viennese decor that may seem fussy and old-fashioned to some. Floral printed carpets, glass chandeliers, cabriole-leg furniture, cream armchairs, and red curtains decorate the spaces. Prints by famous Viennese painter Gustav Klimt add just the right touch of romance to the rooms. Amenities include flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi, but lack air-conditioning and coffee- and tea-making facilities. Bathrooms are small and simple, with little counter space, showers, hairdryers, and Hydro Basics toiletries.
