Spartacus isn't your typical sex store. For starters, it doesn't feel overly cheesy or kitschy, and…read moretheir selection of products (of all sorts, to suit pretty much every desire, kink, orientation, etc), is phenomenal. The employees have always been friendly: helpful but not "lurking" (standing over you as if you're going to shoplift at any moment). The employees are furthermore very patient, and you're even allowed to try on certain garments, so long as they don't include panty hose/stockings, or items that would be unhygienic to try on. (I've only tried on a handful of items so I'm not sure about all of the limitations, but that you can try on some garments seems pretty cool, particularly ..well, untraditional lingerie, if you will.) I really cannot stress enough how wide a variety of items they carry, and their prices seem fairly reasonable for a local store, that is, buying sex toys or whatever here instead of online. Also, this store is huge. HUGE. They have entire sections dedicated to "gay interests", BDSM and, of course, porn. There's even a porn theater of sorts, which I haven't checked out so unfortunately I can't tell you about it. Granted I'm no expert on sex shops in Vienna, but I'd nevertheless suggest this one if you're in the market for something they sell, or if you'd like to see something in person before buying it online. Maybe it could even give you some ideas you'd never considered before. ;-)

I purchased two items from the Rotentrumstrasse 1010 Vienna branch, after trying them on at home I…read morerealised that they were not what I wanted. I called the store and asked if I could exchange them for something else at another branch, so I went to the one in Donauzentrum. I found another item that I liked but the store but the sales assistant told me they did not have my size. The sales assistant asked the manageress (Claudia) to call other branches to see if my size was available but it wasn't. Since they did not have anything else suitable at the store so I asked to exchange the goods for a voucher and was told by the Manageress that I could not. I don't understand why that was not possible, I was not asking for the money I just wanted a gift voucher for another time. She told me I could only exchange goods for goods, so I continued to look around the store. The manageress of the store was totally appalling, I have never met anyone so rude and for really unfriendly for no reason. She was outright grumpy and really nasty towards me, when I was only ever very polite with her. I looked around the store again and decided to swap at least one of the items for something else. The new item was 5 euros less than the previous item. So the manager said I needed to select another item because she could not give me the 5 euro. I took an extra item, the price was 4.95euro! The manageress told me that she was not able to refund any amount and that I must find something else in the store for 5cent!!! I told her I don't care about the 5cent, she could keep it. She told me that this was also not possible. At this point I was really upset, she was being totally ridiuculous. When I was close to tears, only then did she give me the 5 cent from the till and then I left the store. Before leaving, I told the lady I could not understand why she was being so rude to me and told her to smile more, which perhaps I should not have done but I found her behaviou totally pathetic and completely unnecessary. I always always bought underwear from the store, but after such an experience it really puts me off shopping in the store again. The customer service I experienced was awful and I would not recommend it.
