We loved our stay at Hotel Josef. The room was comfortable and spacious, and the staff was really superb. When a place gets gracious hospitality right it makes a tremendous difference. One small example of how they get it right is that you are greeted with a bowl of fresh fruit in the room, and the first round of minibar contents is included. It's such a difference from feeling like you have to be on guard against being hit with a $10 charge for a moment's slip in which you drink a bottle of juice!
Perfect location, easily walkable to the sights in the old town, and accessible to the trams to go further afield. Far enough from the very center to be quiet at night, so no trouble sleeping.
After a while on the road, hotel breakfast buffets start getting a little old, but this one was truly amazing. Their breads and viennoisserie are made in house and are among the best I have eaten anywhere in the world. Certainly better than many parisian bakeries. You may request more elaborate items (e.g. eggs benedict ) from the menu at no extra charge.
I would be delighted to have the opportunity to stay here again.
