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.

The room is much more spacious and cleaner than it looks on the website, and the air conditioning is wonderfully cool. All the staff are friendly (which was such a relief after being worn out by the rudeness in Salzburg and Hallstatt) and very helpful. I highly recommend the rooftop restaurant’s barbecue and tuna steak, and the breakfast buffet was the best quality we’ve had during our entire Germany–Austria trip.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
We booked the top floor suite, thinking it should be a quiet haven for sleep. But it turns out to be right under the rooftop bar/restaurant, so lots of noise until around 2am. And then at 6:30am the cleaners began above us, noisily tossing chairs and tables about as they vaccumed. Bad, very bad. So, we got moved down a floor to a tiny room on the opposite end, and.. sewer gases from the ductwork rapidly made us ill. So at 11pm, we packed up and left for a Real hotel 20min away. Never again.

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.
