Staff is well educated and all have perfect manners. Spa has excellent calmness and gym is well equipped in an open area. A real sauna might be a bonus. Room had a features you can wish for, enough hanging and storing space, so not all your things are on the ground. THE most perfect bath tube. Great room dividers and... More

Excellent hotel for our conference. Surprising mix of clean nearly stark architecture in the rooms and conference facilities and two brilliantly coloured floors - one of them the 18th floor restaurant which offers a panoramic view of Vienna. Food is no better than OK. In breakfast buffet it would be good to have some hot food.

We stayed in the Black Suite which was pretty cool. The bare floors, walls, ceiling and furniture were all black. They kept the room very clean as I did not see any dust which would be very visible against black. After leaving my own dust on the furniture, the maid cleaned very well everyday as the dust was gone when... More

Though the response was very slow to fix flooding bathroom, and not cooling A/C, but at the end the job was done. The service is slow even in other requests. The restaurant at the 18th. floor was really great and the food was perfect.

The Sofitel Vienna attempts to position itself as a top-notch modern luxury hotel and in these aspects it largely succeeds. The clean white artistic modern rooms are beautiful and inspiring, so much so that we spent the first half hour of our stay just admiring the design and furnishings. The beds are extremely comfortable, the staff is very polite and... More

My husband and I stayed at the Sofitel in October of 2012. I chose the hotel because it offered junior suites with a separate living room and the prices were not ridiculously high as some of the hotels in Europe can be.

Not a great place to stay, but worth of paying a visit to the 18th floor (definitely not magnificent breakfast ). Service was fine. Rooms are not that great as pictures presented on accorhotel website.
