We returned to our hotel to freshen up before dinner. We took a few pictures in the hotel lobby (very opulent!) and of the view outside our room. The Hotel Kummer was conveniently located along Mariahilfer Straße and featured views of the bustling shopping street.
We had an issue with the safe in our room. It seemed to be only sporadically working. Staff in Austria have a reputation for being friendly but a little put-upon at the same time. We approached the front desk clerk about the safe and he proceeded to write out the same directions that were on the instruction card in the room. We humored him, went back upstairs and tried it again -- no luck. This next time, he accompanied us upstairs. He had to try several times but was finally able to get the safe to lock properly. After he left, we ultimately figured out through trial and error that the safe handle needed to be exactly vertical when inputting the code with no slant either left or right. Once we figured that out, the safe worked like a charm every time.
