39 hotel reviews for Hotel De France
We felt very comfortable in the hotel de France. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The junior suite was very nice, unusual with two TVs, it was on the sixth floor, with a view over the roofs of Vienna. A bit steep stairs lead to the bedroom, there was still another small toilet, as well as an output, on the roof of the hotel led. The breakfast was good, only the coffee was extremely good. If you didn't have a room booked with breakfast, the price was 26 euros per person rather too high. Therefor you could eat lunch for two people... Read more

Oh, yes: it sounds like other reviews on: five stars are not. Maybe some other tourists gather dust from Vienna's upper class, but otherwise not. 'EBay winner' course of a voucher in the rear notes shipped (no view of light), of course, there is the 'eBay' coupon for the food, the waiters and the difference it was bored. Yes, and clear: the hotel is old and it shows.
Positive, but: the young people, they are set as manager, are well trained (mostly HAK school).
The hotel is charming, that all stratifications meeting: from eBay scroungers (... Read more

Price/performance ratio was okay, I would have to pay the price the hotel, then I would chose another hotel.
