Great hotel - great location across from Opera house and several good restaurants nearby. The breakfast is a full buffet. We had a small balcony with a view. Beautiful room and sitting area. Staff is very helpful to US guests.

I recently stayed here with my wife while we were on vacation, and I can't find enough good things to say about Hotel Bristol. From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly and went out of their way to make us comfortable. The room was large by European standards, and was decorated very tastefully. We had breakfast in our... More

I recently stayed at the Hotel Bristol during a three day trip to Vienna. I used Starwood points, so I cannot speak to the cost/value of the hotel, only what it offered. It is centrally located across the street from the State Opera house and the U-4 train line and the trams that circuit the Ringestrasse. It is a convenient... More

My husband and I, along with my parents, had the pleasure of staying at the Hotel Bristol for a night in April, 2013, and could not have been happier with our stay. My parents had an Opera view room, and it was too bad that we just missed being there on a night when an opera was going to be... More

This hotel is absolutely gorgeous , conveniently located , guest friendly with the amazing rooms and views. The concierge Dietrich was very helpful when we asked for a special place to eat. It is not easy to pick a restaurant in Vienna since there are so many choices. The hotel restaurant is very tasty . They treat guests like royalty... More

This is by far the most incredible hotel I have ever stayed in. The location can not be beat, the service was top notch and the rooms were beautiful.

This hotel is probably the best for location. It’s also a real Vienna type of classic hotel. The decoration in the room was nice, it reflects the old Hotel. Bed was comfortable, Bathroom was average, and the TV was very small. If you could get a room facing the opera, the view at night from your bed will be very... More

It feels like staying in a roaring 20s luxury hotel with some modern touches like a flat screen TV. The hotel feels über classy right when you walk in. It's got a restaurant, bar, and spa on site (none of which we used). The room was quite large with nice touches like artwork and furniture. The location is also good... More

The Bristol is a good choice when visiting Vienna: great location, friendly service, nice rooms, stylish and feels like a 5 star establishment. The only two negatives - firstly the room was pretty stuffy and changing the aircon seemed to have little effect (we opened the window in the end) and whilst they now have free in-room wifi the signal...

I was staying at the hotel on business, so didn't choose it myself. Too stuffy for me as I usually prefer modern hotels. No separate shower in the bathroom - shower curtains are not high on my list.
