Based on recent reviews

Hotel Pension Baron am Schottentor is a popular choice, often praised for its awesome-looking and clean rooms and its convenient location near Innere Stadt. Guests frequently appreciate the spacious rooms, some of which offer a great view and include amenities like a coffee machine and mini fridge. Being close to attractions like Votivkirche and Rathausplatz, including the Weinachtsmarkt, is a definite plus, although some guests have noted the initial challenge of navigating the stairs upon arrival with luggage. The hotel is surrounded by good restaurants, and the little sausage stand nearby is a highlight for many.
