For more than 40 years our guesthouse, formerly PENSION KIRSCHBICHLER, has been located in Vienna's city center on Landstraßer Hauptstraße (formerly known as Vorstadt Sankt Nikolai an der Landstraße). Our guesthouse opened in 1972 and since then has been favored by guests from over 100 different nations!


In the last century many things changed. While in early days the Landstraßer Haupstraße was an important strategic point for the military and used to be the most important access to the city, the street nowadays developed into a popular shopping area. Today's junction WIEN MITTE was constructed by army troops in order to be able to reach castle Schönbrunn quickly and protect Empress Elisabeth „Sisi“ from enemies.


As in those days the old River Danube had its branches in this area, it was the perfect location for a military harbour. Nowadays you can reach the subway junction WIEN MITTE directly from the Vienna Airport / SCHWECHAT. From this junction you can conveniently reach all the most interesting places of Vienna . KIBI ROOMS guests will enjoy their stay in our historic city, just like many famous viennese characters, like tho world famous componist LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN, who used to live just opposite of our guesthouse, did before.
