With two children, 9 years, and 10 month old I was happy to find a good-looking hotel with family room in the center of Vienna, at quite a good price. On our arriving the first surprise was, that the hotel is in a house, like a very big luxury apartement! That was on the 1st floor. The reception and lobby area a really time-travel, heavy carpets, lots of wood, paintings, fire-place. If you like old things, nice.
We got our room, that was appx. 20 m2, with a double bed, and a third bed. The beddig on the double bed was very clean, and new, but for the 3rd bed there was no bedding at all. When I made my booking, also asked for a baby bed, because the site offered it. At the reception they said, had no baby bed, but the baby can sleep with us, the bed is big enough, told the receptionist. My daughter never slept with us, not my son, so I asked some more blankets, and I made her sleeping place on the floor. For 92 Euros/night.
The bath is very small, Just a shower cabine and a toilet, the washing basin was at the entry area of the room.
I wished a more comfortable room, for four of us. Without children is okay, I think.
The breakfast is good, and the staff was very helpful and friendly, but travellers with samll children: no high chair!
We booked 2 nights, but after breakfast payed, and moved to Etap Saint Marx, the same price, two nice room.

Old Hotel, big room but the beds are terrible and in first night no pillow, we have to ask... Poor breakfast, too.
Good location but I thing you can find another hotel in same price.
I don't thing to return to Franz Pension, in a very nice Vienna

Room was large, clean with very comfortable bed. Room was very quiet, breakfast was huge and delicious! The location couldn't be better-a few blocks from the Ringstrase. Helpful staff. Will definitely stay there again.

I actually fell in love with this hotel. It has a very old feeling to it, in a positive way. First of all the location is perfect. There's a tram stop right outside the hotel entrance where 5 tram lines stop. The Schottentor U-bahn and tramlines is one tram stop or 5 minutes walk away.

I didn't know what to expect having read some of the reviews here but I was pleasantly surpriced. We arrived at 11 o'clock in the morning and were allowed to check-in early. When I requested a room with a view of the Votivkirche I was given one. The carpet in our room was NEW!! The bed was nice, the bathroom was very clean and not smelly as suggested in other reviews. The room had a small TV and a refridgerator in it. The cleaning was impeccable and the staff was very friendly.

The free breakfast included different fresh breads, ham, salami, cheese, boiled eggs, corn flakes, juice and yoghurt and tasted great.

I find it very interesting that the person from Brisbane, Australia was so disappointed with the hotel as we stayed in the hotel at the same time.

On the down side the small wall next to the bathroom had a big damp stain on it which was covered by a piece of a cardboard box.

This is a cosy pension, not a luxury hotel. If you keep that in mind you will not be disappointed. For the €60 a night that we paid for our doubleroom this pension was quite a bargain.
