Pertschy Guest Houses

Description:

• Well-scrubbed and reputable, this simple but historic pension was originally built in the 1700s as the Palais Carviani in a restrained baroque style. Several rooms overlook a central courtyard and are scattered among six or seven private apartments, whose residents are used to foreign visitors roaming through the building. Midsize bedrooms are high-ceilinged and outfitted in old-fashioned, almost dowdy tones of cream and pink, with good beds and rather cramped shower-only bathrooms. A free Internet terminal is found in the hall. Most appealing is its prime location in the heart of Old Vienna (btw. Habsburgasse and Bräunergasse, just off the Graben).
