My stay at So/ Vienna was a mixed bag. The luxurious feel was undeniable, especially with the top-floor restaurant serving up delicious food and very nice city views. However, I was let down by some service hiccups, like waiting too long for breakfast and room service not being available at 5 AM. The room design was modern, but the bathroom layout did lead to some water pooling, which was a bit annoying.

My stay at So/ Vienna had its ups and downs. The interiors were striking, particularly the industrial style, and the rooftop restaurant offered amazing views. However, I encountered some issues with breakfast service and room design that left me wanting more. While the staff were mostly welcoming, my experience felt inconsistent, especially given the hotel's reputation.

Breakfast had a lovely variety, although the rush to clear tables post-service was off-putting. The rooftop dining area is a standout but could benefit from better management of sunlight in the evening. I felt the lack of a casual cafe space for guests was a missed opportunity.

My stay at So/Vienna was mixed. On one hand, the staff were exceptionally warm and attentive, making me feel welcomed throughout my visit. However, I encountered several frustrating issues, like the inconsistent room cleaning and awkward design features that made the experience less enjoyable. Despite these drawbacks, the location and breakfast offerings really stood out during my stay.

Rooms

The room design was very modern but not entirely functional for my taste; the stark white theme made it feel less cozy. I appreciated the size of the room and the luxurious bath amenities, but the layout with sliding doors was not what I expected from a high-end hotel.

My birthday stay at So/Vienna was quite nice, with a spacious room that had amazing views of the city. Although I appreciated the attentive service and the rooftop bar, there were moments where the breakfast experience and room amenities could have been improved.

Rooms

My room was a So Studio on the 16th floor, spacious and well-equipped, but I noticed the design was a bit overwhelming with its all-white aesthetic. I did enjoy the massive bathtub and comfortable bed, though it would have been nice to have USB ports and a kettle.
