Pension Franz - Vienna

Hotel Palace valuable, convenient to downtown altogether beautiful, but needs maintenance especially in relation to services and needs more cleaning in the rooms and in relation to the tablecloths for breakfast

Good:The room was spacious and clean, near underground, near prater and city bad: there was a road in front of the windows (quite loud), the breakfeast room was too small, the service with breakfeast was poor.

When i came to check in ar 11 as it was given in the info, the reception was nice and brought me to my room. i was shocked cause the room was not yet clean! I was tired after my travel and wanted to have some rest in a quiet so i had to spend there for 3 hours in a dirty room sitting on a chair cause the beds were open dirty with hair, same things in a toilet that i was disgusted to use after the previous people who left all the possible trash and hairs after them. when the girls came to clean they made everything in 5 min, so when i reentered the room i still saw some hairs ont he floor of the bathroom and i really had boubts if they changed the bed sheets and not only the cover.. Bfast was nice in a nice hall that really gives the impression of a rich appartment of 100 years ago..

We stay very well! Also the breakfast was very good. we think that the Pension Franz is a very nice place to spend the holiday. Only one problem: there's no discount for child or family

We were extremely happy with this hotel: very well located, cheap, and lovely. Above all, you feel like you are not one among so many tourists coming in and out an anonimous place, but a guest at an old viennese ladie's appartment. True, the lights are not always OK, and the breakfast room is a bit tiny, but that feeling of being "at home" is really great!

Close to the center , But not clean , and old and dusty fornitures

A nice old hotel, somewhat run down. Nicely located for the centre of Vienna.

Excellent location unfortunately not too clean and pictures do not meet expectation!Very basic I was very dissapointed

Very convenient location, nice view, a very spatious room. Great value for the money

The atmosphere was cheap. Our room was in the breakfast room and we couldn't open our door properly when people were eating at the table in the morning. There were discolorations in the carpet, holes in the walls, mismatched tiles in the bathroom and a huge cobweb hanging from the ceiling. Overall it was a dump.

This Pension has been kept in the same pristine condition it was in when built in 1890, but time does take its toll. From the appearance of the furnishings and pictures I suspect this was at one time a bordello but converted at some time to a pension. Too many stairs for a family with young children and just too antiquated for us to come back. Vienna has such an excellent metro we would prefer staying a little outside the center and just taking the metro in a few stops.

Very nice and stylish atmosphere - feels like 19th century Vienna. The breakfast was great. Slightly difficult getting to the 2nd floor - very small elevator, but I guess it must be so in an old building like this. Location is great - walking distance to main attractions.

It was an experience of the old time apartment living. Something you can not feel in globally standard hotels. The rooms location and surroundings are very convenient for the first time Vienna visitors, 15 minutes walking from St.- Stephan, 2 minutes walking to metro! And personnel really demonstrated hospitality. Can recommend it to ones looking good old times experience.

Very lovely place,great location just disappointed we received a room that didn't look at all with the web photo.

Vicino a fermata metro ed al centro di Vienna. Buona la prima colazione. Servizio di portineria un po scarso. non parlano italiano.

Preisleistungsverhältnis für Wien ok - super nah am 1. Bezirk. Gutes Frühstücksbuffet. Gute Cafes und Insiderkneipen in der Umgebung - z.B. Universitätsbräu. Super Anbindung an die "Wiener Linien". Matratzen waren jedoch eine Katastrophe - ziemlich weich und durchgelegen (bei 3 Übernachtungen geht es gerade noch - länger wäre nicht möglich gewesen)

We loved this place, though had little interaction with staff so can't say much about that. But front desk person spoke English, helpful. The location was great, three blocks from metro and convenient walk to major sites. Breakfast was very good. The place looked great, very Baroque in a lovely sleepy sort of way, Also very quiet. All in all a great place. The only minus was lack of wifi, though they said they had plug in internet if you brought a laptop.

We have been to Vienna before. This accommodation was not quite the quality of our previous trip but it was good and pleasant. We were close to an access to the U and other stores and services. We had a good time and enjoyed our stay and Pension Franz.

Essential hotel, near city-centre and tube station.

Exactly what we have epected! Everything we needed was there, clean and a very good service. Definitely not the luxury of a 4-5 stars hotel, but a very clean, pleasant and well located place, with the scent of old classical Wien.

We had a triple room with a view to the Votiv church. The room was clean and we had enough space. The windows did not close properly, that might be a problem during winter. The location was very good, 10 min walk to Stephansplatz or 3 min to the Schottentor/University metro/tram station. Breakfast was ok, but usually they bring very little food and you have to hunt the trays in order to eat properly. Sometimes cheese or eggs were finished and they did not bring more even though it was very early, 8-8.30 and the breakfast finished at 10. The coffee was quite bad.

Very good hotel. We had like the old fashion decoration. Breakfast was very good.

We were six people, 1 quadruple + 1 double. We haver breakfast and it was ok. The Pension is near the the Rathaus and Hofburg.

Location of the pension is very nice to major area of Vienna. easily walked around to the center area. In comparison with the rates, this was very reasobable and comfortable accomodaiton. although it looks a little bit old, it may assume traditional Vienna.

Great breakfast. Great service. Great location.

We stayed at Pension Franz in a quad room for two nights. Although on first impression the place looks like taken straight out of a Transilvannyan folk book, you get used to the decor. We asked for two double beds which were arranged nicely. The room was very spacious although it was a bit damp and old. The bathroom was nothing to write home about but very clean nonetheless. The service provided was in general very good, the night clerk received us in cheerful mode (although we arrived about 11 pm) and provided useful tips. The buffet breakfast, although not much to choose from, was more than enough. The location is excellent: a 3-minute walk to Schottentor Metro Station, 5 minutes to the Ring-Strasse, 10 minutes to Hofburg Palace. There are some shops, cafes and restaurants just off the entrance. In a nutshell: good service, great location, excellent price. We had a great stay in Vienna and would probably book this hotel again. After all, you would have to be very lucky to find a better place at a similar price.

The location is good, you can walk(about 10 min) to St Stephan^s cathedral. WE walked everywhere from the hotel. The service is friendly but not very profesional, (they forgot our wake up call the day we were leaving! and there was nobody at the front desk at 7.00 to do our check out!!) The rooms are small but the public areas are nice, they are cosy and make you feel as if you were in a family home. The rooms are not kept very clean and our bathroom had a sewer problem and there was always a bad smell. But it is good price for Vienna standards and considering the location it is quite a deal all in all.

Breakfast room had no external windows & was jammed full of tables - very constricted space. Breakfast was more than adequate, but items not replenished promptly - may not be during a short breakfast sitting. No air conditioning, but we were provided with a portable fan which was a life-saver! Public areas opulently furnished, but our bedroom had sparse & basic furnishings, though the bed was very comfortable. Hotel location was on the edge of the 'scenic' central area, was very convenient for seeing the city and I would definately recommend to other travellers as good value for money.

Very good location and service

Great location. Comfortable room - big enough for two adults and two children. One of the biggest 'family style' rooms we have stayed at while traveling.

Our double room was quite ok except the door opened right into the dining room, so we were woken up about 7 am each morning when first people were coming to breakfast, full of morning energy and quite loud))) the other room we took was quite shabby but with a beautiful sight from teh window... the service is very unostentatious. the location is great, just 5-10 mins walk from all the main central attractions. breakfast is very substantial, good variety of different meals (compare to many european hotels same level) no internet in the rooms but apparently an internet cafe is somewhere nearby (we didnt check thou)

Position and relationship quality/price were excellent ..very nice and welcoming staff,rooms were extremely clean and breakfast was very good.i would reccomend Pension Franz to those who doesnt want to spend too much without giving up the pleasure of a stay in the heart of Wien.

Pensione con mobili in stile molto caratteristica, che, per quanto ci riguarda, aveva solo un disservizio: non c'era la porta del bagno! e per noi che eravavamo tre amici non si e' rivelato molto comodo! per il resto la consigliamo a chi vuole alloggiare in pieno centro, in un posto gradevole e pagare relativamente poco per Vienna.

I will returned its a very placed hotel, excelent attention, exelent breackfast, it beautiful!!

Our room was very spacious with beautiful view. Comfortable location close to buses and metro.

THe value for money was very good. The only thing I have to complain about are the beds (matrazes, room 208) which have been extremly worse!!! so after 3 nights you had a back pain. Of course the quality of the bed ist the essantial in a room. Except of that (which should be changed) I liked Pension Franz!

Someone of the hotel lost my reservation, so when I arrived at the hotel with the reservation they said that there were no rooms, and it was 9 p.m. o'clock! Lucky we find an other hotel near there but it wasn't a good experience...

Great value for money and the breakfast was wonderful.

This is a good choice. I would recommend the hotel , they have clean rooms and good breakfast. Also the location is splendid.

A charming place literally steps from the Ring at an affordable price. All of the staff at the front desk were extremely helpful and pleasant. The first day of our arrival, my wife and I staggered into the place jetlagged and need of food. The man at the desk gave us an excellent recommendation for lunch. A local place with good food and no tourists. I just wish the coffee at breakfast were just a little better--after all, it's Vienna--but I don't want to ask too much. You can't go wrong here. Also...if you are interested in checking out the wine taverns in Gruening (sp?) the trolley stops literally at the door of the hotel.

Thank you to help me get some important addresses in Vienna during my stay.

Buon rapporto prezzo qualità per la quadrupla, albergo praticamente in centro. Colazione abbondantissima, peccato che se ci si sveglia dopo le 9.00 bisogna attendere un poco (pochi posti a sedere) in rapporto al numero delle stanze. Parcheggiato a 10 metri, in Türkenstraße , il personale dell'albergo lasciandogli le chiavi dell'auto provvede a rinnovare il ticket del parcheggio, 4€ al giorno.

Bathrooms were gloomy, but the room was amazing! It was very spacious and had a great view of votiv kirche and was very centrallzy located.

I could recommend the hotel to all those who are not looking for any luxus and who are satisfied when the bed is OK, the shower works, the price is low enough and for whom the good location is important, as well. And who like that the Irish pub is quite opposite!

Room was basic but clean and comfortable. good beds ,but VERY noisy, traffic and the bar across the street emptying out in the early hours. Changed to a room at the side which was better. Very good breakfast with good service

The rooms/bathrooms were in disrepair and the carpeting looked dirty. There was an unclean smell. The public area looked dingy and dusty -very old. The breakfast table was not cleared and we had to sit with dirty dishes piled at the end of the table. Employees were very nice but the owner insisted we pay cash repeatedly even though he had a credit machine. The hotel was in some sort of a business building and we had to go upstairs two floors to get to the hotel. Not a very impressive hotel...quite depressing. This was not a 3-star...more like 2 star.

For this price, this downtown hotel was more than all right. Only I found the smell oozing from the drain a bit disturbing. After locking up the bathroom door, however, I could sleep really well in a new and clean bed.

The hotel is by the metro, which was nice. The room was very large, but had ancient carpets that were very dirty so I always wore my socks when there. Also, we found a lot of ants in our room! One was on my pillow and tons were on the floor. We didn't even have food in our room. So I would definitely not stay there again.

Close to the center, everthing was in walking distance. Perfect!

I had a good time. The prices are low and the quality of rooms good. I would come back again to this nice place.

We enjoy our staying at "Pension Franz". Nice rooms, good breakfast and good service.

Central location. Interior -old + worn out.Rooms are small with very basic facilities. Overall- 2 star maximum.

I had booked for three nights but left after one night for another hotel on the same street, similiar price, but much better.

Very charming, characterful place. A bit noisy if facing main road. Very spacious room, and good value for such a central hotel in Vienna.
