Hopper Hotel St. Josef

We booked this hotel as a quick overnight stop en route from the Netherlands to Vienna, looking for just a simple place to crash for the night. What we found instead was a super modern hotel room, really well laid out, with huge operable windows overlooking a secluded courtyard in this former convent house. The "fitness center" is really just an elliptical machine and one other multi-purpose resistance machine, and the sauna looked like it had never been used. Neat library, nice bar, and a super short walk west to a shopping district with bakeries, restaurants, and coffee shops. Parking isn't available at the hotel, but we were able to park in an underground garage due east for €21.

Nicely designed hotel. Lots of little steps and stairs as it is a historic building. Clean, modern feel of the room as if in contrast to the historic substance. Small hotel with a small number of staff, so do not expect exceptional service. Staff could be a bit warmer/friendlier but was fine. Probably the best Hotel in the area - the only one that is in the middle of the Südstadt neighborhood. I was there for a private solo trip and found it a fitting choice.
