44Lesson 4: Review

Hotel Franz Josef, Vienna Vincent and Gianna, ItalyA very nice hotel! The staff were very friendly and helpful. We went in July when it was very hot, so we were really glad there was 1 in the room. There aren’t many restaurants near the hotel, but there’s a really nice Austrian 2 about five blocks away. The food is excellent and the prices are good, and they take 3.

Vincent, ChinaWe especially liked the location! The hotel’s within walking 4 of all the interesting sights. Metro and bus stops are very close. The room was warm, clean and comfortable. The best thing about this hotel is its breakfast! There’s a 5 and a variety of quality foods 6 in a lovely restaurant.

Valentina, RussiaPositive: The 7 is excellent for public transport. A better than average breakfast and friendly staff.

Negative: The single room was too small. There was a problem with the 8 in the room, so I couldn’t check my emails. And there was only an old TV set, not a flat screen TV.
