The bath is good, although the bed could do well out of a measure of renovation. The Austria Trend Hotel Donauzentrum is undeniably deserving of the steep rate. This hotel is spotless. The resort extremely memorable. Ideal location. The staff was most cordial and useful with their recommendations on where to go in Vienna. The hotel has a roomy parking space

Singapore, Singapore

Where I stayed
Fragrance Hotel – Sapphire



One of the main things that undeniably set the Fragrance Hotel – Sapphire apart is its cleanliness. The place has a parking lot. This hotel has wonderful location – we even enjoyed a heavenly sensation at the notable Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple Front desk crew could have been more welcoming.
