What an amazing find! Perfect for the location, parking, seeing the sites, and just relaxing…read more Upfront: I highly recommend this place. It's been a rough year for my family and me...a rough few years actually and we needed a diversion. We try to fit in a vacation/time away here and there to get our minds off of "things" and time away was in need, so away we went. Sometimes when you book things online, you never know what you are going to get. This hotel sounded too good to be true. But it was true...and then some! We were blown away by all of it! From the location, the friendly staff, and the room. Take a look at my pictures...I booked a suite at a fair price and it was huge! Normally if you want space, you need to book an apartment of some sort, Airbnb, etc. We definitely had enough room to spread out and not be in each other's way. The beds and pillows were comfortable, but I want to point out my son slept on the pull out sofa bed and it was oddly very comfortable. Oddly because normally they just aren't. The sofa bed was made up before we checked in and they had put a special foam mattress on it making it extra cozy and perfect actually. We didn't need heat or air since the room temperature was perfect when we stayed. The view from the room is of the city, and it was nice to people watch. The location is perfect and within walking distance to historic sites, bakeries, restaurants, etc., not to mention it is right beside a mall and grocery store. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Someone is always manning the desk in case you need something or information. Parking is available through the hotel. If you wish to park in front of the hotel, you must book with them in advance as spaces are limited. However, the mall next door allows parking as well and you get a special price when staying at the hotel, but no need for reservation. Very convenient. There is a restaurant at the hotel as well; however, we didn't get a chance to partake. Moreover, for an extra fee you can have breakfast at the hotel. We did not choose the breakfast option, but it looked like quite the spread. Staying here definitely took our minds off our life events for a little bit...we truly enjoyed our stay. Again, highly recommend!

The rooms were large and clean, the bathrooms were large and the water pressure was good. The bed was incredibly hard, but that is a common theme in Europe. The wifi was decently reliable, but unfortunately did not work on well on my phone on the far side of my room, which is where the bed was, as I was the last room on the end of the hall. (So scrolling through social media before bed was out of the question.) It was frustrating because it was hot during the day and cold at night, so the AC was not turned on in the building, but the room would get incredibly stuffy if you didn't have a window open. Which would have been fine, except that there is a loud bar underneath the window with people yelling in the street at all hours of the night - so sleeping with the window open was a challenge. However, the staff were all very friendly, and the breakfast is phenomenal. So many things to choose from, and all delicious. I was very impressed with the selections for the breakfast - definitely worth adding it to your reservation. Overall, it was a decent experience and there were no huge issues. Since the location is so convenient I'll likely stay there again but will come better prepared for temperature and noise.

Stayed here for one night from June 21 to 22, 2016. This hotel is your typical Ibis hotel, which…read morein my opinion is similar to the hotel brand Holiday Inn in the US. Rooms are located on the top two floors of a building that is directly next to the central train station - great location, especially if you want to do a day trip from Graz or leave early in the AM (but only a 20 min walk or 5 min city train from the tourist downtown, so still good for budget-conscious tourists). Compact room with everything you need, including the soap preloaded in the bathroom. No complaints from me. Only issue was sound of construction during the day, but work was stopped in the early evening until the late morning of the next day. Breakfast buffet was great, though a bit pricey. Typical spread of charcuterie, hard bread, cakes, yogurt, with added hot items like eggs, wurst, and hot waffles. Great view of train station from dining room.

The Parkhotel is truly an elegant and posh hotel located close to the Stadtpark, which is Graz'…read moreCentral Park, and right opposite the University of Music and Performing Arts, which was the town Palais of the Archduke Johann, the brother of the Austrian Emperor. This hotel provides seminar rooms as well as great food. The price of the dishes served in the Parkhotel restaurant is residing in the upper price segment but you get high quality for your money. The staff is friendly and willing to help and since implemented in a hotel they are briefed to and used to speak English to their international guests. So that is quite convenient. And at the main entry of the hotel you are welcomed by a Saint Florian statue. Not only therefore but also because of the family name of the hotel owner family is Florian, the hotel's restaurant is called Restaurant Florian. I had a beef filet in sauce with Serviettenknödel (sliced bread dumpling) together with fresh green salad with pumpkin seed oil on top of it. The filet comes with Preiselbeermarmelade (cranberry marmalade) which is typical for Austria and very popular as it gives a sweet taste to your meat. The Restaurant Florian in the Parkhotel is truly an elegant restaurant in one the most exclusive hotels in Graz. With Love! Dr. Dr. Immanuel Fruhmann

I can't rave enough about the wonderful staff at this hotel!!…read more We got an email before our stay informing us that there was going to be a Marathon taking place in the morning after our Saturday night stay. Our hotel, which was very close to the Old Town, would be off limits to vehicles until 4:00 p.m. We were only going to be there the one night, and would need to get on the road long before that time. The email said that the normal check-out time would be extended until then. But we were worried. We don't travel light, and had no idea where we'd park, since the garage wouldn't be a viable option. We imagined ourselves playing leapfrog with our luggage through the streets of Graz. That didn't happen. Instead, when we checked in we were told that we could park in the garage, or they would park it for us outside of the Marathon zone and retrieve it when we were ready to leave the next day. And to make up for the inconvenience, they comped the breakfast buffet for the next morning, which was excellent. Our room was wonderful - spacious and modern, as was the rest of the hotel. Everyone at the desk was so genuinely friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel was only a stone's throw from the Old Town. The next morning one of the staff carried all our luggage to our car, which was parked a few blocks away in an outside space. And before we left, the young woman at the desk got me a cup of coffee to go! Augartenhotel is definitely as good as it gets!

We were greeted by a friendly lady at the counter and our view is just fantastic! Considering the price for one night including breakfast - gotta say this is a hidden gem - that needs more business! Now off to sample some wine! The breakfast selection is great and - what you not always get in hotels - excellent fresh ground coffee and espresso. The restaurant whips out seriously food dishes and the wine menu is very comprehensive. On the negative: AC didn't work and we had every insect in the neighborhood in our room - without open window we would have melted. Fun note: nobody knew that the hotel was doing a yelp promotion. The lady that gave me the free Welschriesling even took a picture of the coupon and I had to explain what yelp is :-)
