Thibaut Business - 21/11/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel stay was very nice, but the problems with the airco (not able to change temperature, and the last night not working at all) could not be fixed.

They will look into this matter in order to avoid such uncomfortable situation in the future.

Couple nights in Vienna

TripAdvisor rating 3.0/5

hkniitty Business - 21/11/2021 TripAdvisor review

Stayed before also SO. Now realized the service was not so good. Not welcome drink. And some problems with the check in and check out. Finally made it. Bed was not good. Muggy. Perhaps old already? Next time consider other hotel in Vienna.

Dear hkniitty, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent visit at SO/ Vienna ! We regret that we didn't provide an attentive and personalized service during your last stay with us. Please be assured that our high service standards didn't change due to the lifestyle brand SO/. I have spoken to the operational managers for implementing the necessary actions to fulfill our host role. Besides, we are sorry for the poor experience you had with our "MyBed". We offer our guests the "MyBed" concept which consists of two mattresses and a cover made out of down. Due to the additional cover, the bed is extra soft and it feels like sleeping on air. Our Neat & Tidy team can remove this extra down cover for your next stay of course, so that you can enjoy again a good night’s rest. Furthermore, we will rely on new training sessions to ensure that the bed is correctly prepared. We kindly apologize for the inconveniences! We would be more than happy to welcome you back soon with us in order to prepare you a more enjoyable experience. Do not hesitate to contact us when travelling back to Vienna. Kind regards, Christian E. Klaus General Manager SO/ Vienna

great stff, strange rooms and interior

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

anveis2020 21/11/2021 TripAdvisor review

Funny hotel architecture - huge empty unused space. The studio room was very dark, black walls, little light in all respects. Maybe very avantguarde but not easy and cosy.. The staff was good. The spa - rather strange - jacuzzi with a sight of the town, but it is all steamed...

Great staff but a strange hotel

Customer review rating 3.5/5

Andrejs Families - 20/11/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

A strange, perhaps "too modern" hotel. Studio - mostly black, rather dark - little lighting, badly planned. Spa zone - jacuzzi -ok, but the windows misty, so you cannot see the town, hammam again black and dull. Enormous spaces in the hotel ridiculously empty and underused. The staff was most helpful.

Marek T 18/11/2021 TripAdvisor review

I love comfort, but I maybe took big chunk booking Lofty. Apartment is really waste. Still I have missed a desk and to work I had to use dining table. Desk would be great addition. That space would also provide more sockets, as placement now is quite limited and one must pull cables here and there. Lightning in living room is also modest. And it takes time to get used to way how switches work. From this point not best option to book for business trip. Room deserves also some general cleaning, peanuts found in sofa, dust behind bed. Other than that, place was lively and welcoming. Was surprised about number of people around and great atmosphere. Staff needs to pay more attention on details, in this kind of hotel I expect better service. I spent time at reception upon my arrival despite I did online check in, what was not noticed by lady on duty. Check out was without issue. Booked table in restaurant only to find later that window tables are only available to book online. Keep this in mind :) if you plan to have dinner. Breakfast was ok. Again it comes to staff, which seems to lack training and confidence. Dinner was also mediocre, taste great but was not top. I suggested to Chef include more vegetables to be served with meat courses. Better wine for steak (pairing) could be selected. I understand it`s great to promote local but did not help to have French whites and Austrian red when I believe decent whites are found around Austria and great meat would deserve better wine. Keep in mind booking Spa ahead, it`s been busy.

Dear Marekgary, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your stay at SO/ Vienna! We regret to read that you didn't feel comfortable in our SO Lofty Suite, especially for work. It would be our pleasure to suggest you another room category with better layout for a working station when travelling back to Vienna. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly that we can advise depending on your preferences. We kindly apologize for the negligence in regards to the room cleaning. Indeed, all corners of the room should be checked when preparing the room. Please be assured that this has been addressed to our Neat & Tidy team. Thank you for informing us about the long check-in process. Indeed, the team should clearly identify the guests with online check-in in order to adapt their course of action. Our Front Office Manager will schedule training sessions for improving the knowledge and the quality of service. Your comments regarding your dinner at Das LOFT have been shared with our Director of Wine & Dine and our Head Chef. We regret that the wine selection didn’t meet your expectations. Our team will be trained as well for a more attentive and courteous service. Being sorry for not reserving you a window table, we will review the communication and process concerning this matter. As window tables are in great demand, we unfortunately can’t satisfy every guest. But we should strive to provide our house guests with this benefit whenever possible. We kindly apologize for the inconveniences and we hope to see you soon again. Kind regards, Christian E. Klaus, General Manager SO/ Vienna

I love comfort, but booking Lofty I took huge chunk, this was way to big room. Despite size of room I missed desk, best would be if incorporated in bed room. Without desk there is not so many socket at convenient locations as well as lightning in living room could be brighter. It takes while to get used to how light switches work around the room. A/C in room quite noisy. Weekend in hotel was busy and vibrant, staff friendly, quite change to recent months. I was surprised that despite reservation I could not get table by window in restaurant for dinner, I was told window table only by online reservations. Dinner itself was very nice. I would suggest to include little extra vegetables to meat courses on tasting menu as well as see if red wine with menu can be change for better (I agree going local is in fashion, but to have French white, while better whites can be found in Austria), definitely there nice Italian wines with this characteristics. Also service in restaurant could be better, I see room for training there.

It was really great stay But i booked a spa treatment also and i did not get all the treatment i booked because you didn't had a time.

Dear Mr. D., Thank you for your recent stay at SO/ Vienna! We are delighted that overall you spent an enjoyable moment with us. Your comments regarding your spa experience have been shared with the team. In order to understand what happened, we looked into the booking system. Indeed you had a spa treatment per person and per day included during your stay. However, due to the booking situation, we weren’t able to offer you all the allowed treatment sessions. It would be recommended to book the appointments before your arrival at the hotel. We kindly apologize for the misunderstanding. Our communication should be reviewed in regards to this point. Despite these circumstances, we hope to welcome you back soon with us. Kind regards, SO/ Vienna Management

Disappointing

Customer review rating 2.0/5

Cyril Business - 30/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

The quality of room was more in the Ibis hotel / youth hostel category rather than premium. The room looked tired, done on the cheap and also was not too clean (female hair was left there probably from previous guest possibly). At this price point quite difficult to accept.

Excellent comfort
