    An old but renovated building, conveniently close to the city center, with good-quality pillows.

    The rooms are too small to comfortably fit a double bed, and it would be an improvement if a kettle was provided in the rooms.

    Very clean, superb location, very stylish

    Black painted corridors and doors - kind of depressing

    Property response:

    Hey Claudia, We appreciate your thoughtful review. We're delighted to hear that you found Ruby Sofie to be very clean and loved our central location. It's also great to hear that you found our hotel stylish - we like to think of our décor as a unique blend of old and new. Regarding your feedback on our corridors and doors, we understand that the dark decor might not be to everyone's taste. This design choice is inspired by a backstage theme, creating a unique atmosphere. However, we ensure our guest rooms are bright and inviting to keep a balance. We hope that despite this, you still had a good time with us. We look forward to welcoming you back to Ruby Sofie in the future. Your Ruby Sofie Team

    The room had a decent size, a great Marshall speaker, lovely shower gel and hand soap. Their breakfast was really good too!

    Toilet/shower was weird with their door opening angles (quite annoying if you used the toilet and wanted to shower right after). Plus, we didn't get cleaning any of the days and our towels wouldn't dry properly. The bath mat was soaked and the door sign didn't have any "please make up my room" side. I wanted to at least ask the cleaning person to get fresh towels but I didn't see them at any moment at the hallway. I'm glad we didn't leave our towels on the floor (as instructed in the room), expecting a change, and returning to nothing. So that was quite disappointing, since one of the reasons why you choose a hotel over other sorts of accommodation is exactly the possibility of getting room make-up.

    Property response:

    Hey Carolina, Thank you so much for your review. It's fantastic to hear you enjoyed the size of the room, the music on our Marshall amps, our lovely Ruby Care range and the varied breakfast. We want our breakfast to give our guests the best start to their day, so we make sure there's a mix of healthy options, alongside a few little treats. Everything we serve is high-quality, locally sourced (where possible) and, most importantly, delicious. Regarding your concerns about the bathroom door and the shower, we understand that our unique open bathroom concept which is designed to maximize space might not suit everyone. We want you to feel fully prepared and excited about your stay, so we've made sure to showcase lots of photos of our room design and features across all booking platforms. Feel free to take a look before your arrival. We’re really sorry to hear that you weren’t satisfied with the cleanliness of your room. A comfortable and clean environment is very important to us, which is why we place great emphasis on this in all our hotels. To reduce our environmental impact, we offer our guests the choice between daily cleaning or service every three days, with a little thank-you drink at the bar if you go for the second option. Of course, if you prefer your room cleaned every day, that’s always possible too. And should something not feel right during your stay, our hosts are on hand to step in immediately and find a solution. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back in the future and make your next stay with us even better. Your Ruby Sofie Team

    The location was convenient. I could walk to many places. Many restaurants are minutes away from the hotel. The center isn’t far from it either.

    I didn’t like that there wasn’t an iron in the room and not enough water bottles in the vending machine.

    Property response:

    Hey Sara, Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We're thrilled to hear that you found our central location convenient and that you could easily explore the city and its many restaurants from our doorstep. Ruby Sofie lies in the heart of the city. It's just a stone's throw away from the next underground station and you can reach the historic old town within a few minutes' walk. However, we appreciate your comments regarding the iron and water bottles. As part of our Lean Luxury concept, we keep rooms clutter-free and provide irons and ironing boards in our Galley, which is available to guests 24/7. As for the water bottles, we're sorry for any inconvenience caused. We'll do our best to ensure our vending machines are regularly restocked. Next time, please don't be shy. Just talk to one of our hosts as they're always happy to help.  We hope you'll give us another chance sometime. Your Ruby Sofie Team

    Hey John, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your detailed and honest feedback. We're glad to hear that you liked the exterior of our Ruby Sofie. However, we're really sorry to hear about your experience with our team. At Ruby Sofie, we believe in delivering a down-to-earth service, and it's disappointing that you felt this was not met during your stay. We understand that mistakes can happen, like the mix-up with your booking dates. While we understand how inconvenient it must have been to discover the booking was made for a different date, our team is required to follow the booking policies and system restrictions in place. In such cases, changes or refunds are typically handled directly by the booking platform, and we always aim to support guests as best we can within those guidelines. We regret that the situation led to a negative impression of our service. We take guest feedback seriously and will review your comments internally to ensure our team communicates with empathy and professionalism at all times. We also regret to hear that our breakfast did not meet your expectations. We put a lot of thought into finding the best quality ingredients for our breakfast, use local suppliers as much as possible and strive to offer a good value selection that caters for all tastes. Nevertheless, we'll take your feedback on board. We hope that despite your experience, you might consider giving us another chance to show you the true Ruby Sofie hospitality. Your Ruby Sofie Team

    Property response:

    Hey Steven, Thank you for your kind words about our team. It's great to hear that you found us to be a friendly bunch. We always endeavour to provide our guests with down-to-earth service, so your feedback is much appreciated. We're sorry to hear that there were aspects of our Lean Luxury philosophy that didn't meet your expectations. Our rooms are designed to be both functional and comfortable, with a sink integrated into the room to maximise the space. We also understand the importance of staying connected, so we're looking into your feedback about English TV channels. At Ruby Sofie, we've streamlined our services to focus on what our guests value most, which means we've done away with some traditional hotel features like phones in the rooms. Instead, our team at the front desk is available 24/7 and ready to assist with anything you might need. We hope that despite these points, you enjoyed your time in Vienna, and we'd love to welcome you back in the future. Your Ruby Sofie Team

    Property response:

    Hey Tara, Thanks for your wonderful review. It's fantastic to hear that you had such a great time with us and found our team friendly and helpful, and enjoyed the safety and convenience of our central location so close to the main train station. We're also pleased you found our rooms well-equipped and appreciated our facilities. We firmly believe in providing our guests with everything they need and nothing they don't, as part of our Lean Luxury philosophy. To keep our standards high and our prices relatively low, all of our city centre rooms feature high-quality furnishings and make clever use of limited space. Around summer holiday, demand in Vienna is always high, so we adjust our rates in line with other hotels in the area. We still believe we offer better value for money than others in the same price range though. We are thrilled that you would recommend us and we look forward to welcoming you back to Ruby Sofie in the future. Your Ruby Sofie Team
