Doubletree by Hilton Vienna Schonbrunn
We booked our stay with Expedia and it was a big mistake. After choosing the room, Expedia took the money but changed the dates!! Before taking the money it was no review of order or anything!! After the reservation was made I've noticed the wrong dates and called the Hotel! They didn't try to help ...
