SO/ Vienna is praised for its modern design and comfortable rooms, often described as spacious and well-equipped with bathtubs and separate showers. The hotel's location is convenient, situated near the city center, with the cathedral being easily accessible. A highlight for many is the Das Loft bar, offering a fantastic panoramic view from the 18th floor and a great atmosphere; however, some guests have mentioned that the furniture shows signs of wear. Breakfast is exceptional, offering both a buffet and à la carte options.
