SO/ Vienna Reviews

I love the view from my room. The room was nice.

It is expensive but not so impressive. The taste of design was not for me,,, The room is too white also, not so relaxing,,,, But luxury views!

I had a phenomenal experience for such an affordable price! It truly rivals the Sofitel Haikou – I was absolutely blown away! The panoramic city views of Vienna were breathtaking, and the pure white rooms were thoughtfully designed, giving off a distinct Santorini, Greece vibe!

The hotel is perfect in every way, except for the lack of a swimming pool. Its superb location makes it incredibly convenient for getting around. The rooftop restaurant boasts beautiful views, serving a buffet breakfast in the morning and transforming into a bar at night with a fantastic atmosphere.

The service was excellent, and the front desk staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. However, the original room wasn't very clean. After we complained, we were promptly upgraded to a much better room with a superb view, from which we could see St. Stephen's Cathedral. The sauna facilities were new, and the fitness center was very good and well-equipped.

What a magnificent luxury hotel! This was my first time staying at such a high-caliber place. I heard it was even designed by the same architect as the Louvre, which truly impressed me. It's a pity I only stayed one night, as I had evening plans. I really should have spent that evening on the rooftop, enjoying a drink and watching the sunset. And to top it off, I could watch the sunrise right from my room in the morning!

The breakfast was decent, and the views were beautiful. However, even after staying for three nights, our room didn't offer a view of St. Stephen's Cathedral. When we inquired about switching to a room with a view, the Chinese-speaking staff member informed us that it would cost an additional 50 Euros.

15 to 20 mins walk to tourist area. Expected some walk or ride. But got nice skyline view. The furnitures are generally quite old, dusty inside the wardrobe and hard to slide the window panels. Quite dark inside the room. Junior staff is not helpful and check wrong information in the beginning during check in but then got an asian staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant at the top floor is gd with nice view. Helpful staff and got nice food.

Our stay at SO/ Vienna was excellent. The room was spotless and serviced daily, ensuring a consistently comfortable experience. The breakfast was outstanding - both in quality and variety - and accompanied by a stunning panoramic view of Vienna. We were particularly impressed by the view from our 14th-floor room, overlooking the city center, which we enjoyed without any additional charge. The option to select a preferred pillow type was also a thoughtful and appreciated detail. There are only a couple of minor points for improvement: the room could benefit from additional lighting, and the staff checking room numbers at breakfast might consider streamlining the seating process to reduce waiting times.

A very good hotel. The location is good and the view from the restaurant is spectacular. Definitely recommended.

One of the best hotel stays I’ve had - from the view to the location to the service. The hotel is located away from the hustle and bustle of District1, yet not too far away from the life of the city. Service was top notch as well, everyday house keeping tidies up the room to the utmost standard. If all SO/ hotels are like this, we’ll definitely be looking to book the brand more!

Good location and great views. The baths are brilliant and the beds even better.

Here’s a polished short review you could use for a hotel in Vienna: I recently stayed at this hotel in Vienna and had a wonderful experience. The location is excellent—close to major sights and easy to access by public transport. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and well-designed, with modern amenities that made the stay relaxing. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, offering great local recommendations. Breakfast was fresh and varied, a perfect start to each day. Overall, a stylish and welcoming place to stay in the heart of the city.

It’s so beautiful for everything! I’m so happy to stay there!
