Customer Reviews

"Excellent english-speaking care in the heart of Vienna During my recent visit to the Rudolfinerhaus Private Hospital in Vienna, I couldn't help but notice the warm and professional atmosphere that greeted me right from the entrance. The staff were not only skilled in their fields, but also approachable and kind, a combination that instantly puts you at ease. The hospital building is well-maintained, offering a blend of historical charm and modern amenities. Each room I visited was clean and comfortable, equipped with everything one might need for a pleasant stay. One of the standout features at Rudolfinerhaus is their use of up-to-date technology. It was clear that the hospital prioritizes staying ahead in the medical field, providing patients with advanced treatment options and state-of-the-art facilities. Moreover, I was pleasantly surprised by the food available at the hospital. It's not just about providing meals, but offering nutritious and tasty options that cater to a variety of dietary preferences, which is a thoughtful touch. Outside, the gardens offer a peaceful escape, a place where patients and families can find a moment of relaxation and respite, a necessary addition to any healing environment. In conclusion, Rudolfinerhaus Private Hospital stands as a beacon of quality healthcare in Vienna. With its combination of professional staff, modern facilities, and a welcoming atmosphere, it promises not only excellent medical care but also a positive experience for patients and their families."
"Cumbersome and time-wasting registration process, within three months I have been asked twice to sign pages of forms and produce an ID (photocopied each time). Equally cumbersome and time-wasting payment process. An advance payment of 1000 eur was requested for two standard medical consultations and one simple x-ray exam. When I remarked the incorrect level of advance payment requested (200 eur higher than what the internal rules of this hospital foresee), the reply was „it will be reimbursed on your credit card“. Only God knows when. Based also on previous experiences (2023 and 2025), overcharging is here the rule, customer care the exception. I also received a prompt but fully useless reply to my detailed written complaint. An organisation that cannot learn from its mistakes is a dysfunctional one. Should I let this organisation look after my health? Surely not, we will go elsewhere in the future!"
"I had an amazing experience in the hospital. The staff was incredible. I don't speak German but everyone I've been in contact with spoke English. Everyone was so nice, friendly, attentive and professional. (Extra shout out to Selina for being so friendly and making me feel comfortable from the beginning). Huge thank you for all the doctors, nurses and health care professionals for taking such a good care of me. :) Ps. The food was very good too."
"Just back home after the delivery of our newborn. We spent 5 days at hospital after a C section, and the whole team made the entrance in this new life a real moment of happiness. The availability, the professionalism, the dedication are common traits at Rudolfiner. Regarding the ope itself, was like a change of wheels in formula 1! Thanks everyone!"
"The midwife Maria Salsi-Thum was absolutely essential to the health of our two children. The entire experience was overwhelmingly positive, from the very first conversation before the birth (Vorsprechen) to the guidance and support she offered in the postpartum period. Her care was truly human and compassionate. She was always willing to help, focusing on the baby’s health without ever forgetting the parents’ well-being. I will never forget that during our very first conversation, she asked whether I wanted to breastfeed and assured me that, if that was my wish, she would be there to support me. And she truly was. She helped me identify better ways to breastfeed, both in terms of the baby’s latch and my own posture. I will also never forget when, months later, my first daughter was already seven months old, and I suddenly had a breast issue. Even though she was on vacation, she answered my call and guided me through what to do. Knowing that I could count on Maria Salsi-Thum made both my pregnancy and postpartum period feel much more supported and at ease. Her dedication, empathy, and professionalism made all the difference for our family. I couldn’t be more grateful."
