Aside from allowing pets in the vicinity, the Waldstein Hotel is popular for serving its breakfast buffet in a low ceiling, dungeon-like space that is reminiscent of old castle prisons. This motif is consistent with the rest of Waldstein facilities: heavy wooden bedposts and cabinets with floor-to-ceiling curtains. Also, the hotel is only a five-minute walk from the subway and a shorter two-minute one to the bus station.
