The staff were very helpful and welcoming with great manners. The location of the hotel is ideal, it’s on a busy strip but it’s definitely not noisy or disruptive. The hotel is close to the main station and the trams. I would definitely recommend this hotel, I was pleased and would come here again. The rooftop was a nice sit down for dinner, the food was lovely.

Stayed Saturday-Sunday. Lived on the 6th floor with kids. The rooftop bar on 7th floor was full blast which wasn’t very pleasant. Breakfast was very small, disappointing. Location 10/10, and if you don’t travel with kids I think you will have a good experience.

Everything was clean, very nice and working (bed, washroom, shower, toilet, WIFI). Breakfast was very good. Only small negative point was that the room was a bit hot (AC working ok but not very strong, curtails quite thin so the sun could heat the room easily). Honestly, it was way better than expected.

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.
