The room is much more spacious and cleaner than it looks on the website, and the air conditioning is wonderfully cool. All the staff are friendly (which was such a relief after being worn out by the rudeness in Salzburg and Hallstatt) and very helpful. I highly recommend the rooftop restaurant’s barbecue and tuna steak, and the breakfast buffet was the best quality we’ve had during our entire Germany–Austria trip.

Very nice hotel in central Linz. The hotel is in a pedestrian area and there are nice restaurants and bars on the street below, but not noisy. Small efficient room, staff were helpful when i left my computer in the room, and shipped it to me. Good base for visiting Linz.

Nice downtown hotel

The hotel is situated in the downtown of Linz, a very short walk from tram stops and the main square, but luckily with the window closed it was quiet and not noisy at all inside the room. The staff was nice, the room was clean, bed was comfortable, and it was nice to have a bottle of complimentary water and a coffee capsule for the coffee machine. The breakfast felt overpriced, but it was good quality, mostly the usual items of a buffet breakfast, but with a little more than usual choice in fruits and cheeses.

Nothing Not To Like Here

All good at this place. Welcoming check-in. Unexpected free welcome drink too. Room modern, spacious enough and well equipped with A/C. Very comfy beds. Bar is nice and the place is right in the middle of town. Couldn't find the hotel carpark and the front of tyhe hotel is in a pedestrian zone. I parked ina public underground car park near by which was a few euros more but hey, ho. Didn't eat there. Has a rooftop bar and restaurant but, as it is under glass and its a heatwave at present, did not go there. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Nothing not too like and good value.
