Certainly not my last time.
Pros:

I stay regularly in Linz, if one is just spending the night and passing through, this is the best location to be near the main station and close the the town centre, it hasn’t the old time charm of other hotels closer to the Hauptplatz but it is quiet, comfortable and breakfast is exceptionally good.

Linz
Pros:

Super Lage. Perfektes Frühstück Buffet und das Personal war sehr freundlich. Sehr bequemes Bett.

Cons:

Das Einzelzimmer ist durch die Holztäfelung sehr dunkel, aber hat ein bequemes Bett. Leider war mein Zimmer zur Straße hin und da ich mit offenem Fenster schlafe, war es ziemlich laut.
