Kolping Linz

I loved the calm atmosphere here. It gave me a break from the stress and bustle of everyday life. They pay attention to people, environmentalism, and fair trade, including fair trade drinks and lots of healthy breakfast options. My favourites were the different Sonnentor teas and brown bread with walnuts. There’s also a great initiative: if you’re happy with your room, leave the note on top of the fridge to skip cleaning, and 3 euros go to good causes.

The breakfast was one of the best I’ve ever had, and the staff were very kind. It was a perfect place for me and my family to stay. When arriving, it’s best to head straight to the hotel parking garage and pay at reception. The garage entrance is about 100m from the main hotel entrance, as I marked on the photo.

The room was spacious, and breakfast was excellent. Great location too.

The restaurant was a highlight. It looks newly redesigned with an '80s vibe, serves really good food with a decent variety, and has a juice maker for fresh fruit juice. Rooms are somewhat dated but still functional, and everything was clean, including the bathrooms and shared areas. The front desk was another highlight, with really nice people who were eager to help and chat, even when you’re in a rush.
