It is located in the middle of a shopping street. Google map directed us to the back of the hotel. Friendly service. They prepared us 3 bags of breakfast at 6am as we needed to check out early. Great stopover between cities. Beatiful church and buildings. Convenience stores are just round the corner. Strongly recommended to stay here if you are in Villach.

Nice Hotel / Great Location

Hotel Palais is in a good location - parking was a little bit of a science project to find, but not far from the hotel. I booked a single, so my room was small, but it was comfortable and everything worked to my satisfaction. The bar in the lobby was super - what I enjoyed the most.

Arrival to hotel and informed that they couldn't find the booking. Apparently the booking was there all along. Hot water was shut off without warning and no notification or apology. Rude and unhelpful receptionist staff. Despite your own mistake in not locating the booking that existed all along, to tell our upset customer "I'm having a bad week as well" is completely unacceptable.

The hotel is right at the heart of the city Villach. It has a special charm as the building is historic, but all facilities and rooms are brought up to standard and met our expectations. At 8:30am in the morning you will hear the church bell (two strikes to announce the half hour) as it is custom in many of the mid-town hotels in Austria. We thought it is nice that the church bell started at 8:30am and not earlier :-). It didn't bother us. Parking is available but might cost extra. The parking spaces are tight and getting into the hotel parking lot requires some driving skills. Another highlight is the breakfast. It was included in our room rate. It is excellent and uniquely served on a wooden structure that is placed on the table to save space. The next day we walked through the town and got a lot of souvenir shopping done. You can find everything within walking distance in the pedestrian walking zone. Another reason why we had a great time in Villach. We would definitely stay there next time again.

Das Zimmer ist sehr klein ,offenes Badezimmer schwierig zum Umziehen ,es muss in der Duschkabine erfolgen ansonsten mitten im Raum. Das Zimmer ist sehr hellhörig, der Gast über uns kam um Mitternacht und hat eine Std lang Lärm gemacht (Schlaf war unterbrochen!!) und das an 4 Nächten !!! Es gibt kostenpflichtige Parkplätze allerdings sehr unorganisiert die Zuteilung ,sodass viel Ärger unter den Parkplatz Mietern entstand. Die Rezeption war damit überfordert, Hauptsache es werden so viele Plätze verkauft wie möglich ,wo die parken ist egal. Es gibt in der Nähe (zu Fuß erreichbar) kostenfreie Parkplätze in der Sez-Straße Waren damit sehr zufrieden ! Sehr schade fürs Hotel ,weil es sehr zentral und eigentlich modern ist.
