Lock in a great price for Hotel zum schwarzen Bären – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

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.

Christopher, Hong Kong

Very central location, immaculate room and friendly helpful staff. Free wifi. Very reasonable price.

Graham, New Zealand

I would recommend this hotel to anyone, nothing bad to say about it (unless you are very picky). The location is among the best there is in Linz, underground private parking, spacious room, comfortable bed, nice 2 person bathtub in room, elevator, 2 restaurants (one of them at 7th floor, with panoramic view), overall good value for money and I would surely consider coming back to this hotel in the next visit to Linz

Silviu, Romania

Location was excellent and the hotel very modern and clean.

Lars, Netherlands

Room was spacious and clean. Staff helpful and friendly. Prefect location (short walk to square). Both restaurants were excellent!

Meys, Australia

The breakfast is good, fresh fruits, asorted cheese and meats, scambled eggs, sausages and bacon, coffee and Juice, sometimes they even have a orange juice maker there, so you squeeze your own organge. also the restaurant and the rooftop bar a nice places. Rooms are clean and regular size for European standard, Americans might think they are small . ;)

“Nicely fitted out but overpriced hotel ruined by heavy smoking and very poor internet”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Business Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉This hotel allows heavy smoking in public spaces. More than unpleasant. Stayed during hot weather, aircon was very noisy and had virtually no cooling effect, forced to open windows therefore outside noise. Worst was heavy smoking in hotel restaurant, was like a fog. Our room was directly above open windows of restaurant so choice was to close windows and overheat, or open them and fill room with smoke. Was unpleasant and not easy to sleep. Roof top bar similarly very smoky space. Really poor internet - very slow and constant drop outs. Was more than pleased to leave, and absolutely would not recommend (unless you love cig. smoke)
눇Room pleasantly finished, that's about it
