Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
At SO/ Vienna, guests frequently highlight the breathtaking city views right from their rooms, some specifically mentioning the stunning view of St Stephan's Cathedral, easily accessible with the nearby metro station just a short walk away. The rooms are often described as clean and spacious, featuring modern decor, and the complimentary mini-bar is a plus. Dining at Das Loft on the 18th floor is a popular experience, offering delicious food and panoramic views; however, a few guests have found the room lighting to be somewhat dim. The hotel's location is ideal for exploring historical landmarks and museums, making it a great base for sightseeing.

The breakfast view from the top floor was excellent. I found the location perfect, close to underground stations. The room was very clean , a detail I always notice.
The front desk phone often went unanswered. Getting assistance required calling from outside the hotel. The hostess staff at the rooftop restaurant seemed unfriendly.
