“Outstanding service, amazing stay, wonderful facilities too!”

Outstanding service, great facilities, beautiful room! We loved our stay at Lyf/Somerset! When we arrived, we discovered we had booked and paid in full for the wrong month!

Outstanding service, great facilities, beautiful room! We loved our stay at Lyf/Somerset! When we arrived, we discovered we had booked and paid in full for the wrong month! The front desk clerk and the manager said no problem, applied our payment, checked us in and upgraded our room! Wow! The gun is very nice, the game room, co working space and the grounds are wonderful! I highly recommend staying here!

“Good, modern place, but in need of some attention to detail by management”

We had a great stay here. Great staff, nice room and ok breakfast. The property has a series of apartments across multiple separated buildings behind the main road where reception is located.

We had a great stay here. Great staff, nice room and ok breakfast. The property has a series of apartments across multiple separated buildings behind the main road where reception is located. To access hotel facilities, including reception and breakfast, you need to navigate the different buildings. Lifts are available to all floors, which is a help for those with access needs. There is no cover between the buildings, which may be challenging with the elements! The rooms are ok. The beds are typically in an open loft space - if you're taller than 5' 10" you will have to crane your neck and there are steps to climb! Bed was comfy. Lovely lighting in room and windows open to let in fresh air. We used the aircon because the room easily became stuffy, even though it was cold outside. Small kitchenette, but no cooking equipment. Just a kettle, some crockery and cutlery. No washing cloth either, just a tiny sponge which is not great! Tiny cups - which only hold three moutfuls of tea! There are shared kitchen facilities available within the building or an adjoining one which have microwaves. Everything is accessed by a key code, which I think is neat. Breakfast was ok. It did the job, but not worth the full price per person as the food wasn't all the freshest or wasn't cooked as well as i liked (think cold, claggy eggs or cold, soggy bacon). A good variety was supplied though, so that was a plus. No supermarket or convenience store within 5 minutes walk, but there were a few within a 10 minute walk. Not many eateries nearby either, apart from the one operated by the property. Tram is right out front, and u-bahn or s-bahn about 10 mins walk away. The gym was nice, but the equipment was a little wonky and the gym room was in dire need of a vacuum! - the property should invest in some more, basic equipment and machines such as an electric treadmill and a set of static dumbbells. It would be better than the wood aesthetic, which looks good, but lacks functionality or ergonomics and is not safe to use in my view. There is enough room for more and better equipment. The game room looked nice - a TV would be a great addition. We were here for Eurovision and our friends were there in a different room. We could have watched the TV together in the games room and used the pool tables. The social rooms are great, but it appears that people seem to avoid them or not stay long! They are colourful and otherwise pleasant, but could be made more inviting to get people to stay. All in all, we enjoyed, but the property could improve a few little things to achieve a higher standard overall.

“Beautiful Apartments with an Interesting Concept”

These are beautiful apartments with an interesting and well-thought-out concept. The location is quiet, yet very well connected by public transport, making it easy to get anywhere. The staff were helpful and welcoming, which added to the overall positive experience. One small downside was breakfast… lisää

These are beautiful apartments with an interesting and well-thought-out concept. The location is quiet, yet very well connected by public transport, making it easy to get anywhere. The staff were helpful and welcoming, which added to the overall positive experience. One small downside was breakfast, as there are limited seating options and waiting may be necessary. Overall, I would definitely recommend this accommodation.

“Average stay, beware of parking fees.”

Average place to stay in Vienna; haven’t seen a single member of staff for the complete duration of the stay - one has to enter a code which is emailed to you to access the rooms, which is fine.

Average place to stay in Vienna; haven’t seen a single member of staff for the complete duration of the stay - one has to enter a code which is emailed to you to access the rooms, which is fine. Be aware that there‘s also no real physical lock on the door, so anybody entering the right code will be able to come into the room. Furthermore the A/C is installed directly above the bed, blowing all the icy air right onto your head while you are sleeping (alternative: sleep without A/C, for sure amazing in summer). The bathroom is OK, the shower is tiny though, be aware of that if you‘re a tad bigger. Rooms are clean, could use some more stowage though, or at least something to put the luggage on. The biggest issue, and that is a big red fat WARNING: If you‘re arriving by car, be aware of how much this hotel is charging for the parking garage! 39€/day, 148€/week. Once you exit, the counter starts all over. So, if you‘re leaving the parking garage after 2 days for a day trip to wherever, you‘ll have to pay 78€, when coming back you‘ll get a new ticket - so worst case (leaving the garage every day for a week) you‘re going to pay 273€ for a week; pretty brazen to say at least! If you arrive with an electric car: Some 11kW wallboxes available, for the „small“ fee of only 1€/kWh. Who‘d decline that amazing offer?
