Pros:

Personal war sehr nett. Zimmer war gut und leise. Gott sei Dank kein Teppichboden.

Cons:

Das Frühstück ist durchaus ausbaufähig und ziemlich unübersichtlich präsentiert. Man fühlt sich nicht so eingeladen wenn z. B. über dem Wurstteller noch die Folie liegt. Die Gurken waren so ausgetrocknet, dass sie eigentlich nicht mehr auf das Buffet gehörten.
Also alles etwas lieblos.
Beim Auschecken mussten wir zi Fuß im die 6.te Etage und dann mit Gepäck auch zu Fuß wieder runter da der getränkelieferant den Fahrstuhl blockiert hat. Hier bestimmt der Lieferant seine Lieferzeiten. Schade. Dieses Unvermögen die Abläufe besser zu koordinieren, hat uns für so ein Hotel mit so einem Namen natürlich arg enttäuscht

Kurztrip Linz mit Übernachtung. Machen wir sicherlich wieder - auch wegen dem top Frühstück.
Pros:

Top Frühstück. Super Zentral.

Cons:

Zimmer im 1.OG mit Blick in den Hinterhof. Ein wenig düster, Aussicht enden wollend.

Pros:

Ein feines, sauberes Hotel im Zentrum. Trotz der super Lage sehr ruhig in der Nacht. Das Frühstück bietet alles was ich brauche (Bircher Müsli, Schafsjoghurt, frisches Ost und Gemüse) und noch mehr. Ich komme bestimmt wieder!
