I finished my train ride into Vienna from Germany and was originally planning to take the two U-Bahn connections between the West Bahnhof and Karlsplatz station, but me and my bags grabbed a cab and I ended up being glad I did -- in the end the cab fare was a relatively short & inexpensive 12 Euro ride from the... more

Our family stayed at the Hotel Bristol for 2 nights in Nov with 2 rooms. Prior to the trip we emailed the hotel with a upgrade request since we were traveling with a toddler. At check in we received an upgrade to deluxe rooms and we were amazed at how spacious and luxurious the rooms were. Every detail in the... more

Hotel is fairly understated from the outside (especially compared to some nearby hotels), but truly beautiful inside, in an old world sort of way. Our rooms were huge -- suites, really. We had booked with Starwood and were upgraded, so I don't know what level rooms we had. Each room had a big room with the bed, and a sitting... more

To me this hotel exemplifies everything I like about Vienna. It is old, graceful, charming, has character and culture, and surprises you at every turn. We had a 3 night stay here on SPG points early in October, and were very happy with our choice. We arrived early (around 10am) and were allowed an early check-in by a very polite,... more

One of the most beautiful hotel we've stayed at. We got upgraded to the Opera Suite w/ a separate living room and a wonderful view of the Opera House. The bed was super comfortable w/ the perfect firmness. The staff were really helpful. The only down side would be that there is no free internet. more

Overall, an excellent experience at the Bristol. After three Marriott Brand hotels, my husband found the decor too ornate. However, throughout, there were fabulous antiques and paintings. We had a Romeo & Juliette type balcony, from which we can see the outdoor Opera Screen. That was exciting! Unfortunately, we hit a cold spell and couldn't keep the door open very... more

This hotel really made the trip. My wife and I loved everything about this hotel - the location, ambiance, and service. The hotel is situated at a prime location, by the opera house. And the rooms were so elegant and classic - the decor was just absolutely beautiful. It might be a little pricier, but it was definitely worth it.... more

The Hotel Bristol is a must stay. We stayed with our two college age daughters. Our rooms were beautifully appointed, unbelievable museum quality furniture. Black out shades for light, excellent bedding. We had two bathrooms in our room, one for guests and one for us. It is a historic hotel. Great location right next to the train, the Opera House... more

The title says it all... the hotel bristol is right across the street from the opera house and right next to main part of town. The room was beautiful - marble everywhere, comfy beds, these wooden shades that came down from the ceiling, and a big spacious bathroom. The paper was at our door every morning. Oh, and the coolest... more
