    the room would have been also good but the open concept bathroom when you stay with your mom in the room is not something I would be willing to do again 🤨 good for honeymooners, but not for others. Sorry. Also, it was very noisy during the night. Partygoers on the street.

    Good location, nice staff. Parking space was very much appreciated!

    It’s a little sad that they close their restaurant and rooftop bar strictly at midnight already even during busy weekends in summer.

    I enjoyed the central location with their restaurant and rooftop bar. My room had a little balcony facing to the back which was also very nice during these summer evenings.

    The room was a bit dim, with only one small window overlooking a back street. The weather was very hot, and the room has no climate control so was too warm, but not uncomfortably so.

    The hotel is above the very stylish cafe bar in the Aldstadt. The room was clean and mineral water and a coffee machine were provided. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great. Breakfast was excellent.

    One morning was very awful, because of early street noise. We were very tired and it was unpleasant.

    We loved our room which had a balcony looking out onto the rooftops of Linz. The location of the hotel is right in the heart of the downtown which makes it perfect for evening walks in search of drinks and dinner. At the same time, we were not bothered by street noise so it was a great combination. The hotel also offered convenient storage for our bikes in a safe garage at the back of the property. The check-in staff were friendly and helpful and we very much enjoyed the bathroom facilities with the best smelling hotel shower gel of the whole trip!

    We didn't know how to turn the A/C on or work the remote shades, but a family member helped us figure it out.

    The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable once we figured out how to turn the A/C on.

    Our stay didn't include breakfast but there was a miscommunication and we ended up eating breakfast at the hotel. When we realized the mistake, we went to pay for the breakfast and it was extremely expensive for the amount and variety of food offered. We wish the staff had been clear with us about breakfast and its price so we had gone elsewhere instead.

    The hotel is in a prime location close to a lot of great Restaurants and Cafés. The room is quite large and well equipped, it even has a decent size desk. The room had a great thematic decor and we had a nice big window to the street downstairs. One nice little feature that we enjoyed is that there was a light switch for the entire room on the middle of the bed board - super convenient!

    NOISY!! Saturday night street party right outside room until 2 am and then 2 or 3 people having noisy argument until 3.30 am. Nessun Dorma* but not the Puccini version. Not so bad at other times but still some noise from busy pedestrian street. (*None Shall Sleep from Turandot.)

    Central location. Everything in hotel very smart and comfortable. Breakfast excellent.

    Not really a negative, we didn't have breakfast at the hotel because it was somewhat expensive for us at €19 per person. We don't eat much in the morning, so we took the opportunity to visit some of the nice cafés in the vicinity where you can get a small breakfast/brunch which suited us better.

    Excellent central location, perfect base for exploring Linz! Stylish hotel, staff was very helpful. We booked a small double room, it was as described, somewhat basic, but the bed was comfortable and we had everything we needed for a short break. Good value for money. We would certainty return!
