Elainecanada, Canada

The staff was very friendly and the location of the hotel is great. Right next to the Linzer Dom and very close to the old city center and the main square you can actually walk almost everywhere within 20 minutes. The room and bed was clean and the breakfast was on a standard level.

Lizzy, United States of America

Hotel was renovated since I was there last time in a very nice manner, speciallly entrance hall and roof top restaurant. Very good breakfast.

Laura, United States of America

Great style & central location is perfect! Breakfast a little light on meats....continental breakfast I thought?

Colin, United Kingdom

Great location near all the main streets, squares and churches. Room was comfortable, but outside was a little noisy at night from the bars along the street. Great breakfast.

Great location to stay in Linz, hotel and room are relatively standard but okay. Room had a tiny balcony which is comfy to sit during summer time. Overall good choice for one or two nights ...

Breakfast and food at the hotel were very poor quality. Poor air quality. Very small room, bed facing the toilets and the entire hotel stinks from fried sausages. If you want to open the window a clowd of sigaret smoke infuses the air. No escape.
The Fresh orange juice was great

The rooftop restaurant had stunning views but when we went to dine there at 10 on Saturday evening we were shocked to find both guests and staff smoking. We beat a hasty retreat.
Pleasant room with comfortable beds. Downstairs bar and restaurant were excellent. Reception staff very friendly and efficient. Old town sights and the river within a few minutes walk.

Our only complaint was the street noise on the Sat evening . We would use the hotel again but ask for a room at the back.
Excellent room. Hotel in a central position in Linz. Just right for a few days to explore. Marvellous breakfast and evening bar snacks . We did not actually use the restaurant as unfortunately the roof top bar was closed. But it is known for the views.

Only complaint was how they dealt with our request for gluten free breakfast. After specifically asking at booking and at checking in, for gluten free bread and being told it was available we were very disappointed that at actual breakfast time were were told there was no gluten free bread. After explaining this was the sole reason we booked breakfast there, they eventually went out and bought and cooked the bread. This was ok, but did lead to a 20 minute wait and delay our starting time for our planned bike ride that day.
Lovely breakfast and a splendid room with unusual and funky bathroom layout. Nice location and easy for continuing our bike round along the danube.
