Recently I have spent 2 nights at Sofitel Vienna. Leisure trip with my family. Professional and quick check in at the front desk. Upgraded modern room with awesome view – great. Perfectly located just in the city centrum close to the old town. Very modern hotel well designed. Great Jacuzzi, spa and fitness centrum. Breakfast located at the top floor... 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. I usually like to choose more old style hotels and the Sofitel in extremely modern, but it was... More

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.

Very modern hotel very clean but could be considered a bit to "modern". Rooms are decorated in either White, Gray or Black. We had a Gray room. When I say Gray, everything is gray included the painted concrete floor. The only bit of "carpet" was a large pad by the bed. Does not make for a comfortable walk on the... More

What an amazing place. Beautiful, new, fresh and ultra modern. The 3 color theme is simple and clean. We had a corner room on the 17th floor that had spectacular views of the old city. The bed was a true king and was very comfortable. Very cool shower with Hermes bath products. The bar on the top floor should not... More

This hotel is modern and extremely comfortable. Lovely location, good sized rooms, with great views over the city - particularly from the bar and restaurant on Level 18. Reception and concierge staff were outstanding. The only thing that detracted from my stay was the service in the restaurant / bar. After I checked in I immediately made my way up... More

We spent a weekend in Vienna and decided to stay in the Sofitel. What a great choice it turned out to be. To start with, it is situated in a very convenient central location.
