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.

Our Favorite Hilton in Vienna: Hilton Vienna Park (Review)

The Hilton Vienna Park impresses not only with its location and the recently completely renovated modern rooms. Despite its dimensions, the hotel offers the customer an individual experience, as one would expect in a five-star hotel. As a city hotel, the Hilton Vienna Park is outstanding, and the proximity to the customer is more familiar from smaller boutique hotels or resort hotels. The price is fair and the quality is high. A lounge that is unparalleled in Europe rounds up the experience and so the Hilton Vienna Park has become our standard address when visiting the Austrian capital.

DoubleTree by Hilton Cape Town - Upper Eastside: Where the Pleasure Ends With the Cookie At Check-in (Review)

The first and to date only Doubletree Hotel in South Africa unfortunately does not live up to its name. Guests can expect a worn-out and aging hotel with various challenges, a non-customer-oriented team and few status benefits. The low room rates can't make up for all the shortcomings, and we don't recommend anyone to stay there.

The Hidden Oasis: Hilton Vilamoura As Cascatas Golf Resort & Spa (Review)

Hilton Vilamoura As Cascatas Golf Resort & Spa offers a luxurious environment with a reasonable price ratio. Those who do not want to invest in the more expensive Conrad Algarve, but still want to live in a good hotel of the Hilton chain are exactly right here. Especially the apartments in the hotel with fully equipped kitchen and washing machine offer a good accommodation especially for families, without giving up the comfort of a five-star hotel.
