What guests think

At arte Hotel Linz, travellers praise the central, riverside location near trams and the old town, generally clean, often spacious rooms, and helpful staff, while noting mixed breakfast quality and some dated or limited leisure facilities.

Some guests report design privacy issues with transparent bathroom walls, limited sound insulation and temperature control, plus occasional equipment faults such as nonworking safes, fridges, or taps. Parking, including a paid garage and secure bicycle storage, is a strong point, whereas housekeeping can be inconsistent due to an opt-in cleaning policy and a few cleanliness lapses. Overall, expect a convenient base with practical comforts and some quirks to consider.

Das Hotel liegt recht zentral in Linz. Insgesamt wirkt das Hotel nicht besonders gepflegt und ist auch etwas in die Jahre gekommen. (Garage, Fahrstühle, Fenster) Mein Zimmer war jedoch geräumig und bequem, hatte ein schönes Bad und im Zimmer ein bequemes Bett. Das wichtigste geht also in Ordnung. Im kleinen Gym standen 3 Geräte, von denen nur noch das Laufband funktionierte. Tücher zur Desinfektion nicht vorhanden, keine Handtücher, kein Wasser. Dann sollte man die Tür lieber abschließen und nicht mehr einen Fitnessraum als Ausstattung anzeigen lassen. Die Frühstücksdame würdigt einen keines Blickes und kann auch nicht "guten "Morgen sagen. Schade, denn das Frühstück an sich ist vollkommen in Ordnung und auch vielfältig.

We stayed 1 night. I had booked a business studio room and was given a handicap room. Not at all romantic and actually quite awkward. Assuming they had no other room. The room was not super clean as in hand prints all over the mirror in the room and the bottom of the shower curtain was all dirty and mildewed. The amenity kit in the washroom was ordinary with only 1 cue tip and the wrapping was opened. Would not stay here again.

Sadly this arte hotel was a disappointment. Our room was exceedingly hot being in the roof up two flights of stairs with windows facing south. And the air conditioning had failed as had the safe with flat batteries. We changed rooms but still in the attic this time with a shower that slipped down and a floor which turned our new white slippers dirty grey. We had to keep every window open which meant very noisy night and limited sleep. We stayed 2 nights and there was no room cleaning service. Breakfast was ok but no tables were cleared of dirty breakfast stuff. This wasn’t the staffs fault, the place was understaffed. Reception shouted at me that I should have called house cleaning when we got back (at 2200!) and that all of Linz had no air conditioning (not correct as we have found out elsewhere). I think if this was a budget hotel it’s ok. But it’s not at budget prices! Im sad because I like art and designer hotels rather than business chains. But this arte needs some decent management in my opinion.

Firstly, I would like to commend the hotel's convenient location and the spaciousness of the room, both of which positively impacted my experience. Additionally, I found the breakfast options to be diverse and enjoyable. However, I have to mention that I was a bit disappointed with the cleanliness of the room. It wasn't quite up to par.

While the location and property itself is fine, it is in a high standard with artsy feel there is one major shortcoming. Apparently hotel has this weird “policy” whereby they assume guests do not want room cleaned (for staying more than one night) unless they inform the staff they wanted room cleaned or put a “sign” on the door saying you want room cleaned. The front desk agent was not sympathetic and did not understand how ridiculous the policy is. I’m surprised other guests did not mention this weird policy. I hope management will take note of negative review and make changes immediately. Cleaning the room is a major part of a hotel’s job, should not be optional except maybe for apartments or long term stay properties. Most importantly they did not disclose info when checking in and no obvious disclosure in the room, so came as a bit of a shock and surprise.

An extremely well located hotel only steps across the Danube by bridge or streetcar to the main Plaza with connections to other streetcar lines. Hotel lobby was beautiful, staff were friendly, and the breakfast was elegant and delicious with numerous choices. However, the room was disproportionately small and rather austere in comparison to the elegance of the lobby area. The room was very small, the decor was mostly in white and felt blank, and it was somewhat awkwardly laid out. But generally, this seemed like a good, clean, and friendly hotel in a great location. BTW, the streetcar connections are direct from close to the hotel to the main train station.

Had room 108 - apartment with king size bed. You can hear absolutely everything happening in neighbouring rooms such as walking, opening and closing of doors and obviously talking. So sleep with earplugs. Also worth noting is that the bed does not have a top mattress. Staff attempted to charge payment for the room both at check-in, which is fine, and then again in the morning. I guess confusions happen, but in totality a poor impression.

Over the bridge from the main square was great, nice and peaceful. Not expensive but let’s face it, as tourists we only need a good bed . Too busy out all day and half the night exploring. Especially great if your bike packing or touring. Cheers , Peter and Trish from Canberra , Australia

Freundliches helles Foyer, saubere großzügige Zimmer, gutes vielfältiges Frühstücksbuffet, gute (fast) zentrale Lage, Parkhaus unter dem Hotel (etwas teuer 19,00 Euro/Tag)

Betten und Kissen zu weich. Vielleicht sollte man über Investition in 2. Kaffeemaschine überdenken - bei viel Frühstücksverkehr ist das eine Schnittstelle.

Frühstück ist Verbesserungsfähig. Die Wurst hat schon leicht gerochen. Nach 09:00 hat der Käse angefangen zu verlaufen.

An extremely well located hotel only steps across the Danube by bridge or streetcar to the main Plaza with connections to other streetcar lines. Hotel lobby was beautiful, staff were friendly, and the breakfast was elegant and delicious with numerous choices. However, the room was disproportionately small and rather austere in comparison to the elegance of the lobby area. The room was very small, the decor was mostly in white and felt blank, and it was somewhat awkwardly laid out. But generally, this seemed like a good, clean, and friendly hotel in a great location. BTW, the streetcar connections are direct from close to the hotel to the main train station.

Unterkunft durchaus empfehlenswert, gute Lage. Das Frühstück eher bescheiden. Eierspeise nur lauwarm, wenig Auswahl bei Wurst, Schinken oder Käse, es wurde kaum nachgelegt.

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.

Generous size double room with more than ample space for hanging/storage of clothes. Good size bathroom with shower & bath. Clean & comfortable though air conditioner a bit noisy. Staff polite & friendly. Breakfast had good choice of healthy options, nice selection of fruit, seeds, nuts & yogurt as well as usual cold meat & cheese. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay, would definitely go back.
