This is not a hotel – this is a scam! Smart Hotel Schönbrunn deceived us with false advertising and completely ruined our stay in Vienna. The hotel is advertised on Booking as having free parking, but when we arrived, they suddenly told us there were no available spots, without any prior notice. We contacted them a day before arrival, and they assured us that we would receive check-in instructions the next day. Of course, they never sent them! We had to stand outside the hotel, waiting for instructions that never came. After repeatedly messaging them, they finally sent us the check-in details, but not for the garage. When we insisted on getting access to the parking, they casually informed us that there were no available spaces, even though we specifically booked this hotel because of the free parking! Their first "solution"? Cancel your reservation, get your money back, and stay on the street in freezing temperatures with a child! Their second option was for us to accept parking in a public garage at our own inconvenience, and they would cover the cost. How is this an acceptable way to treat guests who booked based on false promises? On top of everything, there is no staff at the hotel! If you need help with anything, there is literally no one to turn to. The atmosphere is depressing, the service is nonexistent, and the whole experience felt like a nightmare. If you don’t want to start your trip to Vienna with stress, frustration, and wasted money, stay far away from this place!🚨
