Hotel Sacher Wien

“Blaue Bar • 5 star 👌🏼”

5 out of 5 stars We headed to the Blaue Bar in the Hotel Sacher Vienna and ordered caviar and champagne, which met all our expectations. The caviar was very good, and the champagne even better! Thank you for a great experience; we will definitely be back.

“Traditional grandeur”

Good location. The interiors combine history and modern comfort. Our room was furnished with traditional furniture and with marble bathroom. The staff were warm and professional, though there was an issue with the reservation which was eventually resolved. The Cafe Sacher is home of the famous Sachertorte and the Rote Bar offered fine dining. Overall it’s a grand experience if you like older and traditional interiors.

“Two stays in one week, one exceptional, one subpar”

We spent 8 nights in Austria, 3 nights at the Sacher, then 2 nights at Steiereck Pogusch (highly recommend!) and then 3 more nights back at the Sacher. For both stays at the Sacher, we got upgraded to a Signature Suite, but the first 3 night stay was exceptional, while the second stay was not. Ou… more

We spent 8 nights in Austria, 3 nights at the Sacher, then 2 nights at Steiereck Pogusch (highly recommend!) and then 3 more nights back at the Sacher. For both stays at the Sacher, we got upgraded to a Signature Suite, but the first 3 night stay was exceptional, while the second stay was not. Our first signature suite was very nice, there was an iPad to facilitate room service orders among other things, very handy as it eliminates having to make a phone call to room service, particularly when someone in the room is sleeping. Service was good at the Blaue Bar, reception was efficient and friendly, just an overall very good stay. Our second signature suite was not quite as nice but still perfectly acceptable, we arrived on a Friday afternoon and realized Saturday morning when ready to order breakfast that there was no iPad in the room. I then looked for a paper room service menu and didn't find that either. So I used the only phone in the room (located right next to the bed where my partner was sleeping) to order breakfast, it was a simple order so not the end of the world not to have a menu. After ordering breakfast, I called guest services to inform them we did not have either an iPad or a paper room service menu, I was told we should have both, but I insisted we had neither and was told it was probably in a drawer hard to find but they would send us another iPad and a paper menu as well. When we returned to the room late that afternoon, we didn't have either, so I called guest services again, the person apologized, and said they would send an iPad and menu right up. An hour later the phone rang and I was told that they were out of working iPads, but would bring a paper room service menu up right away, which they did. The next morning we hear banging on our door at 730am, waking us up. I walk to the door and see room service outside trying to deliver a breakfast we didn't order. I told the person we were asleep and did not order breakfast. Next, the phone rang, which i suspect was room service, but when we picked up, no one was there. My suspicion is that the iPad that was tied to our room was likely in another room and someone else had ordered breakfast but it was being delivered to our room, we should have probably complained but we went back to sleep instead. So in sum, our first 3 nights was outstanding and met our high expectations, while the second 3 nights was a comedy of errors, thus the average rating overall. As noted, except for the difficultly around the iPad/room service menu, staff was lovely throughout, thus the average rating overall.
