You are currently in a location steeped in history: When the main building was constructed back in 1869, this courtyard building was used as a girls’ school. It then went on to be used as a temple of a Masonic lodge from approx. 1880 onwards. At a later point in time the city’s fiscal authority was based here for a short period. In 1971 the building started to host an artist’s
studio which remained here for many years. Eventually in 2017, Little Suites put a great deal of hard work into transforming it into a Studio Apartment for you.
We wish you a pleasant stay!

Public Transport Connections
“Schottenring” junction is located two minutes away from the Little Suite Apartment. Here you can take the subway line U4 or U2 to the station Karlsplatz (Charles’ square), from where you can visit some of the main sights such as the Albertina museum, the Karlskirche (St Charles’ Church), the Kärntner Straße shopping street, the Kunsthalle exhibition hall, the Künstlerhaus performance and exhibition building, the Musikverein concert hall, the Naschmarkt market, the Secession exhibition hall, the Staatsoper state opera house and the TU Wien University of Technology.
If you don’t want to walk, you can get to the city centre by either taking the city bus 3A to Stephansplatz or 2A to Michaelerplatz, or the subway line U4, alternatively the tram line n°1 to Schwedenplatz, where you can change to the line U1 for one stop to Stephansplatz.
For visiting the university district, simply take the subway line U2 to Schottentor. If you take the U2 in the opposite direction, you can get to the green Prater and its amusement park (station Praterstern) or to the Karmelitermarkt with its many restaurants (station Taborstraße).
For a cosy and unhurried city tour you can take the tram line n°1 and drive along the Vienna Ring Road, the grand boulevard that encircles the historic Old Town (Innere Stadt).
For ticket information and a route planner please see the homepage of Wiener Linien (www.wienerlinien.at).
Airport Connections
For the journey to the airport we recommend the Vienna Airport Lines bus. You can take the bus from the station Morzinplatz only 6 minutes away. (20-minute drive; price 8€; www.viennaairportlines.at)
Via the U4 station Landstraße/Wien Mitte you can either take the City Airport Train CAT (16-minute drive; price 11€; www.cityairporttrain.com) or the ÖBB rail line S7 in the direction Wolfsthal (23-minute drive; price 4,10€; fahrplan.oebb.at). This option is much cheaper and pays off, if you are not in a rush or the departure time suits you better.
Health Facilities
If you need medicine or other medical supplies, you will find a pharmacy just a few buildings away on your way into the city. Outside its regular opening hours, the pharmacy displays a list of out-of-hours pharmacies on its door or window and you can also find information on out-of-hours pharmacies online at www.apo24.at.

walks
(Starting at the Ruprechtsplatz square)
Less than 15 minutes away from the Temple, just behind the Morzinplatz square, you can enjoy a walk that will immerse you in the medieval flair of the city. The Roman Catholic St Rupert’s Church (Ruprechtskirche) is the oldest church in the city of Vienna with a preserved original structure. It is located on the site of Vindobona, a former Roman military camp. After the Roman settlement was destroyed, the area surrounding St Rupert’s Church became the birthplace of what is now Vienna. The church itself was the parish church of Vienna up until 1147, when St. Stephen‘s Cathedral was designated the mother church of the city.
(and the Pestsäule column)
The Graben is one of the most famous streets in the heart of Vienna’s old city centre, today‘s 1st district. It starts at the Stock-im-Eisen-Platz/Stephansplatz square (which is home to St Stephen’s Cathedral) at the beginning of the Kärntner Straße and leads in a north-westerly direction to the point at which the streets Kohlmarkt and Tuchlauben meet. A multitude of narrow historical lanes branch off from the Graben, which is a pedestrian zone with a plaza-like design.
The Judenplatz is a square located in Vienna city centre. It was the heart of the city’s Jewish community back in the Middle Ages. The square is situated in close proximity to the Platz am Hof, the square that was home to the duke’s residence in medieval times. The Judenplatz is a prime example of the city’s rich and colourful history and its medieval Jewish community. The construction of the Judenplatz Holocaust Memorial, a memorial for the Jewish victims of the Shoah in Austria, transformed the square into a place of commemoration.
The Danube Canal is the closest arm of the river Danube to the Viennese city centre. It was once known as the “Wiener Wasser” (Viennese Water) or “Wiener Arm” (Viennese Arm). A colourful display of graffiti can be found on the promenade lining the canal. It is a vibrant spot and there are some bars along the canal between the bridges Augartenbrücke and Aspernbrücke. In summer it is the most central place for enjoying a relaxed vacation atmosphere with a cool drink next to the water.
The Wiener Prater is a huge, primarly public park that covers an area of approximately 6km2 in the 2nd district of Vienna, the Leopoldstadt. It still mainly consists of landscapes that were originally characterised by the river Danube. When people outside of Vienna speak of the “Prater”, they are mostly referring to the Wurstelprater, the famous amusement park. The amusement park is situated on the north-western end of the Wiener Prater area between the river Danube and the Danube Canal and only makes up a very small part of the entire site.

The Hob
The hob in our Little Suite is an induction hob. This means that its induction cooking zones only turn on when a suitable pan is placed on them. If the pan is not suitable for use on induction hobs or not placed correctly in the cooking zone, the zone will not turn on.
You can use the touch controls by simply tapping the corresponding symbol with your finger.
Step by Step
- Place an induction pan on your chosen cooking zone. You can find our pots and pans, all of which are suitable for use on induction hobs, in the bottom cupboard opposite to the hob.
- Turn on the hob. Once you have placed the pan on the cooking zone, turn the hob on by tapping.
- Activate the cooking zone. Use the touch controls to select the cooking zone in which you have placed the pan.
- Set the temperature. You can adjust the temperature of the cooking zone by tapping + and -.
Be careful! The induction hob heats up much quicker than an electric hob. You should therefore never leave it unattended!
Heating
Hot Water Supply
Please be aware that the hot water while showering will be enough for about 20 mins. After that the boiler will need some time to heat up again.
How to Regulate the Heating
The thermostat is mounted on the wall on the left side of the door when entering the living room.
