Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The hotel was comfortable. We had a large room with sitting area- a sofa and chairs low table. A walk in shower and also a bath. The breakfast was buffet style lots of choice. Evening meals- menu did not change. two specials each evening. If we compare the hotel to similar hotels in Italy which were more luxurious and 4 Star. The price in Italy was much lower. The Hotel De France. is more expensive . Why?

Really loved the hotel, perfectly located in the 1st district. 5 star charm & service, yet much better priced that the Hilton down the road. Will definitely return soon! I especially liked the breakfast, as well as the spacious bar that we did spend quite some time in.

Every year , in december , I like to spend a few days in this austrian style hotel. In every winter , I discover new beautiful Christmas decoration in the lobby and in restaurant ( on the tables ) . The breakfast is very good and the waiters are very careful with the tourists .The rooms and the bathrooms are very clean . Miss Matea Filipovic from reservation and the all team from the front desck ( the young team of Mr.Lung ) are always ready to help with everything. I felt very good in this hotel !

Good location with a about a 10 minute walk to the Cathedral area. Hotel is very near a metro stop which makes getting to the airport easy. Nice good size bright room with modern bathroom. The hotel is a traditional design. Good breakfast in a pleasant dining room. I would recommend this hotel that was good value when we visited in February.

Liverpool, United Kingdom32 contributions91 helpful votes
We checked in late in the evening and the check-in was smooth and efficient from welcoming staff. We had communicated with the hotel via E-Mail and they were good enough to upgrade us to a suite on the 6th floor. The reception area is magnificent and very opulent and stylish with old classic furniture and marble walls and tiles. When we entered our room, wow. It was fantastic with a split level mezzanine floor, a living area with walk in wardrobe, safe included free of charge and a lovely bathroom with a second one upstairs. The room had 2 balconies and also, had access to the roof top where there were views of parts of the city and the Stephensdom cathedral spires. It was spotlessly clean and, had nice touches such as cotton bathrobes and tea and coffee facilities including the usual shampoos etc. There was a mini bar but we didn't use it. The fridge didn't really get very cold. There was a TV with basic English channels and also, a desk if you were there for work purposes. The lifts were always quick in coming and there was no lengthy wait for them.There is a fitness suite on the 6th floor with fresh towels and water. The buffet breakfast was $26 but, we had taken the room with breakfast. On arrival there, the staff were very welcoming and polite and, in general, the breakfast was excellent. Fresh coffee was served in a coffee pot, There were fresh juices and fruit and pastries. There were soft and hard cheeses and Austrian sausage, bacon and, lovely scrambled eggs. There were a selection of fresh breads and a toaster (This didn't really work too well so perhaps they could replace it?) On the ground floor, there are numerous conference rooms and access to the internet with a printer/scanner available We asked the reception staff the usual tourism based questions and they were courteous and polite and helpful. Check out was 11am but they were prepared to allow you to extend this to 12 free of charge. We would recommend taking the hotel limo service to the airport which was perfect at $40 which was cheaper than getting one at the airport and so much more luxurious and the driver was very friendly. Overall, in summary, this hotel is one of, if not, THE best we have stayed in and, we are both well travelled. We would 100% recommend staying here and, we cannot thank everyone at Hotel De France enough for a truly memorable stay in the amazing city of Vienna. Would we stay there again? definitely. In fact, we are thinking of coming back again in October this year.

This hotel is located very centrally and is ideal if you want to see a play at the Burgtheater (and you should!) or see the University. One can feel that it probably was quite grand in its time, but it hasn’t aged to well. It could do with a makeover. My 1st floor room was clean and spacious, but a bit noisy. I could even feel the underground rumbling. Probably better to get a room higher up. The staff was friendly and quietly efficient. Breakfast was fine, too - but nothing special. And that probably about sums it up - fine, but nothing special. Except the location!
