    Nice stay on the Blue Danube

    he breakfast at the hotel is quite expensive, and despite the considerable distance from the city center, parking is only available in the hotel garage, with no parking spaces outside

    A pleasant, large hotel by the Danube, with the option of a beautiful riverside walk to the city center, about 20 minutes on foot. The rooms are spacious, air-conditioned, well-equipped, and despite the proximity to the highway, very well soundproofed.

    View from the room.

    Breakfast was very good, everything was clean, staff was nice, bed was good. For us the location was good, but we had 2 bikes with us to goto the city-center, otherwise it takes 20 minutes to walk. It was a quiet room.

    Our first encounter with the reception was not very adequate, as we arrived before check-in time. Luckily, we met the manager in the restaurant, who was very kind and helped us check in earlier. Also, a big plus is that they offer coffee to go.

    The location is on the Danube river, a very natural area. The hotel has a restaurant so the dinner is possible there if you don’t want to go to Linz downtown .

    I didn't realise that the hotel was in a rather industrial part of the city, with not that much around

    The hotel itself was great....large.room with all the facilities you'd.need and the tea station by reception was a nice addition 👌

    It could benefit from extra parking spaces but on the whole there is nothing negative about my stay.

    The hotel is conveniently placed for easy access to the motorway. Nice comfortable rooms and an excellent restaurant too. The parking was also welcome and can accommodate larger vehicles. Not many spaces though.

    A good stay overall. The facilites could have been a bit more modern but the room was comfortable and clean. The staff was super flexible when it came to extending my stay. The reception was friendly and flexible to receive a package before my stay, so thank you for that. Breakfast and dinner were nice and for a good price.

    The area is an industrial area. It seems to be in a transition.

    Hotel was very nice. Nice amenities wasn’t worn out. Nice outdoor space. Breakfast was pricey for what it was €20. It was a standard breakfast, front desk clerk said it was huge. The Best Western‘s offer same breakfast for €15 all day long with more options! Other than that was a very nice place. I liked it.

    The weather hahaha! Nothing to dislike - we'll stay here again when we next visit Linz.

    It is easy to find from the motorway and free public parking wasn't a problem. It's right on the river and only a 20 minute walk into the city centre. The breakfasts were lovely - something for everyone. We also had dinner there on the first night, which was nice although the dishes we had were a bit 'soupy', which was a surprise. However, they were very tasty and the staff were very friendly. The hotel room itself was nice; basically, just what you expect from a hotel room! Hot water was available at the reception all night with a vast selection of teas, and coffee (including decaff) is available from 6am to 9pm (I think). Some people complained about there not being a kettle in the room, but there's no need for one.

    They wanted to charge 18€ for the parking. The hotel is in a fabrics and companies quarter so we found a spot in the street.

    The girl in our check in was not very nice. The hotel is in front the river, has sauna and a mini gym in the 5th floor.

    Parking is bit of an issue if you are not comfortable paying additional 18€/day. The location is not very quiet or particularly nice - basically a highway intersection. No chance to try sauna as its only opens in the afternoon...

    The location of the hotel was perfect for us - very close to harbour district. Hotel room was clean and well equipped, staff was friendly and helpfull. Bed was comfy. We had no breakfast but the dinner was fine.

    Great hotel with fabulous staff!

    Our only complaints are the noise from the motorway, the heat of the bedrooms (in March!), and the soundproofing in the rooms, none of which are the fault of the staff. The rooms are quite hot and the air conditioning was off (and I suspect it might be centrally controlled??), meaning you need to open the window to cool the room down. If you pack earplugs, it's fine. There's also the noise from other rooms, but I think that was more to do with the flooring as the rooms aren't carpeted. Again, earplugs sort this out. That being said, we would stay here again without a doubt.

    It's in an ideal location just off the motorway. A 25 minute stroll along the river (it would be lovely in summer - not so much fun in the rain!) takes you to the historical centre of Linz. Plenty of free parking around, although I suspect that depends on the time of year. There's a fabulous large terrace that overlooks the Danube, which would be a great place to sit in warmer weather. The staff at the hotel are SUPERB! Very friendly and super helpful. I cannot fault them. Although we booked a comfort room, which is the cheapest option, there is hot water and a wide selection of tea bags available near reception 24 hours, as well as coffee from 06:30-11:00 - and it's all free. The room itself was large enough (although the bathroom is a bit tight) and has all the amenities you might need. The beds were really comfortable. The breakfast was lovely: there's something for everyone and you will not leave hungry. In fact, I doubt you could try everything on offer as the selection is that wide. I personally loved the sausages and the homemade fresh fruit salad.
