The First in Austria, but Not What You Expect: Our Stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton Vienna Schönbrunn (Review)

The First in Austria, but Not What You Expect: Our Stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton Vienna Schönbrunn (Review)

Unfortunately, the DoubleTree by Hilton Vienna Schönbrunn is not up to the usual DoubleTree standard; in fact, apart from a name change, there has been little change in the hotel since its re-opening.

The main problem is the poor and simple mattresses, which do not correspond to the DoubleTree standard and do not allow a good night's sleep. The modern design of the rooms and suites hides this fact at first sight.

Moreover, the hotel is plagued by staff shortages and there is a certain lack of enthusiasm among the rest of the team, or at least the feeling that every guest is appreciated.

Until these issues are addressed and resolved, we would not recommend staying at this hotel if you value the standards of the Hilton and DoubleTree brands.

Review: DoubleTree by Hilton Lisbon - Fontana Park: Just Another Hotel

The Doubletree by Hilton Lisbon - Fontana Park is a clean hotel in a central location. Unfortunately, the furnishings and design are a bit outdated and in need of a refresh. However, we were particularly shocked by the buffet breakfast that was offered. The quality of the food was not up to the expected standard, fresh egg dishes were inedible. If you are looking for a cheap room with a comfortable bed in a central location in Lisbon, this is a good place to stay, but if you have more expectations of the hotel, you should look for alternatives.
