Very nice hotel in central Linz. The hotel is in a pedestrian area and there are nice restaurants and bars on the street below, but not noisy. Small efficient room, staff were helpful when i left my computer in the room, and shipped it to me. Good base for visiting Linz.

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.
