Hotel Bristol Vienna

LOVED this hotel so much. The rooms were MASSIVE. So much room to spread out. They are 'old' feeling but in an antique chic way, not a dated stale way. Amazing restaurants on site. We had breakfast in bed twice (and it was less expensive than the buffet pricing they offered. I do not recommend adding breakfast to your room, even though they offer a pre-pay discount). There is a concierge who helped us with reservations and exchaged cash for us with no fee. This was amazing, because using an ATM in the city had a crazy fee on it. We also didn't really need euros...except for one restaurant we went to. There was a nice (but small) gym, they stored our luggage when we arrived early, and gave us check in a few hours early (though not much). The service and staff were exceptional. There is also a lobby bar that is extremely cozy and chic. The elevator was a bit small and slow. This hotel is about to close for a 2 year renovation. Can't wait to see what it looks like when it's complete!

My stay at this Hotel exceeded my expectations. I had a wonderful big room, if old fashioned and apparently not recently renewed, which nevertheless was quiet, very clean and friendly. The staff, especially at the restaurant, was competent and friendly. I was very pleased.

Tired hotel awaiting a much needed refresh. Doorman was lovely and welcoming. Concierge did not return many emails prior to trip, however, they did OK when I met them in person. Breakfast however, was busy and chaotic. The lady who sat us for breakfast on the first day in the sunroom did not point us to where the breakfast buffet was. We waited for 20 minutes and no waiter showed up, so I had to go find a manager. Similar chaotic experience every morning during our day. Hopefully the renovation will uplift the spirit of the staff and this beautiful property will be warm and welcoming. Location is great overlooking the opera, and even though it was cold, we enjoyed tea on our balcony with the opera view.

Absolutely incredible stay- from the checkin we were so impressed! Everyone is so attentive, perfect location, and the breakfast was beyond luxurious. Very impressive rooms and view, ammenities were perfect and a five star experience overall. Absolutely book this hotel you will not regret it

Exceptional hotel that brings you back to another era in time. The bar is small but full of character with dark woods and comfy chairs. It was nice that they gave us a nut mix, olives and popcorn with our drinks. The dining room is elegant with its vaulted ceilings and the service is impeccable for breakfast. The room we had was larger than an ordinary room. It had a separate room for the toilet and another room for the sink, makeup table and tub. My one complaint is the shower. When it is turned on, there is no way possible to stop the water from running out onto the floor. Then there is a separate sitting area and desk with a mini balcony overlooking the Opera House. We were told that the hotel will close in 2025 for a 2 year renovation. I hope they maintain some of its charm while updating the plumbing and electrical work. Nice touches include a nightly turndown with chocolates and a note about Vienna’s history. They provide a bowl of apples at every floor by the elevator. Service was excellent for all departments. I’d come back to this hotel as it is centrally located in the inner city ring. Great trip.
