3Stayed here for 2 nights 26 & 27 March.
Arrived at 23.30 after taking a bus from Bratislava airport. I was a little concerned that they may have given our room away. As it turned out, the check in was very fast and efficient (typical Austrian). Modern room and bathroom with all the facilities required. Good TV reception for Sky & BBC News. Very comfy king size bed with good pillows. Nice quilts.
Excellent breakfast including hot choices, fruits, cheeses, smoked fish etc. The breakfast restaurant was full and busy, but it all worked very efficiently. Could not fault it. and lasted us most of the day
We were on the second floor, overlooking the road. No rooms with any view,s as the hotel is surrounded by commercial and residential buildings. Some road noise in the morning, but no worse than any othe city hotel. I'm sure the rooms on the upper floor would be a bit quieter.
Located 5 minutes walk from the Opera house, but easy to get to the tourist sites from a tube station 2 minutes walk. away. Tube is 5 euro for 24 hour pass. Also very close to tram line for route to south train station for Bratislava.
Also very close to the main theatre and a palace (can't remember their names) for evening concerts etc.
Overall just what we expected from a 4 star Sofitel. Very clean and efficient. Good for as Vienna city break.
