Vienna boutique hotel/B&B recs convenient to Austria Center
Family members are participating in a conference at the Austria Center in Vienna. Many of the big business hotels are sold out, and they can't afford the really high end luxury places (which seem to start at around $800/night).
Does anyone have recommendations for reasonably-priced boutique hotels or even pensions that are convenient to the Austria Center? They can handle taking public transportation if it doesn't take too long, although staying a short taxi ride away might be more convenient. The main requirements are high speed internet access (wifi or wired) in the rooms and a private bathroom--in addition to basic cleanliness and 24hr access.
Location within walking distance of decent restaurants would be a plus.

I can recommend Das Tyrol hotel. I stayed there in November. It is in a great location near everything in the center of Vienna and is quite reasonable. The rooms are a little small, but very clean, nice, and a great breakfast included. Taxis and the subway are very easy to get as well. I think the rates are well within your budget.

We had a wonderful stay at the Levante Laudon, just outside the Ringstrasse in Josefstadt: http://www.thelevante.com/go.php
The room, with fully equipped kitchen, living/dining room, bedroom, high speed Internet, plasma TV, etc., was gorgeous. The staff (especially Suzanne, the manager) were superb. Highly recommended.

Any recommendations for Salzburg?
Instead of starting a new thread, I thought I'd tag on to this one...
Any similar recommendations for Salzburg for mid July?
Thank you !

Thanks for the all the suggestions. They flipped through a few guidebooks and ended up booking the Pension Christina. It sounds pretty small and I don't think it has internet, but for 100 euros a night with a great location, it seems like a very good choice. And I'm sure they'll find an internet cafe somewhere nearby.
