Top Linz Hotel Reviews
DORMERO DeHo Linz
"Nice room, walking distance to the old town was 30 mins, easy and flat. Would recommend. Views from the back of the hotel was into a residential area and the industrial area but didn’t stay to stare out of the window"
Austria Classic Hotel Wolfinger
"Wonderful stay at a lovely hotel"
Hotel Kleinmünchen
"Basic, good enough value for money. Old, built of hard materials, so all noise like doors slamming and foot steps are noisy. Trams run all night, so rooms facing the street are noisy"
arte Hotel Linz
"Helpful staff, clean, good breakfast.. However in my room the safe was broken and did not work and TV was hanging at precarious angle due to a bent bracket. Liked the small balcony and convenient location close to Rudolfstrasse tram stop, decent breakfast."
Leonardo Boutique Hotel Linz City Center
"The Leonardo Boutique Hotel is situated in a perfect location just a few minutes walk from Hauptplatz in the Alstadt, Landstraße, the pick up point for the sightseeing train and Pöstlingbergbahn, Buy a combo ticket and take in a Danube cruise too! There are bars and restaurants on Hauptplatz as well as bakeries where you can purchase freshly made sandwiches and cakes. Don’t forget to try the Linzertorte at Jendrak! For those of a futuristic mindset, the Ars Electronika museum is a must. The residents of Linz are lovely people, as are the staff at the hotel. Rooms at the Leonardo are very comfortable, and provide everything you need for a short stay. If you prefer a cup of tea in the morning instead of the coffee machine, you can obtain a kettle at reception. Transfers to and from the airport are around £23 in an Uber. Bus 601 from the airport to Linz main railway station is about €5 pp but the bus only runs every hour. I would highly recommend Linz for an enjoyable city break. NB. We travelled on 24th August for five days. The weather was glorious - 30 degrees during the day and balmy in the evening."
