This is our Best Value pick for Linz. It is a three-star hotel with a guest score of 8.9 out of 10 from 1,876 reviews, joint first in our sample.
It suits travellers who want a central, well-run base and a breakfast worth getting up for. Vegan and to-go breakfast options are listed, which helps if you have dietary needs or an early start.
Skip it if you want four or five stars, or if you need cheap parking. Guests say rates are generally fair but that breakfast and parking fees push the cost up.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at Gesellenhausstraße 5 in the Innere Stadt, with a location score of 9.3 out of 10. Guests mention walking distance to the main square, shopping streets and sights.
Straight-line walking estimates: the New Cathedral about 5 minutes (0.4 km), the Old Cathedral about 10 minutes (0.8 km) and the site listed as Führermuseum about 11 minutes (0.9 km). These are rough estimates, not route times.
None of these is far, so you can see the centre on foot.
What guests say
Breakfast is the standout in reviews. Guests describe an extensive buffet with organic options, fresh fruit, a juice press and waffles you make yourself.
Location is the other strong point: central and close to the main square and shops.
On the downside, guests call the room rates fair but think the breakfast and parking charges are high. Room size, noise and cleanliness have not been assessed by us.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults were about €137.34 a night, roughly €275 in total. That matches the sample median exactly. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Trans World Hotel Donauwelle (4 stars, 8.0), was about €115.68 a night. Our Luxury pick, Leonardo Boutique Hotel Linz City Center (4 stars, 8.7), was about €134.40, slightly cheaper than this hotel. So in Linz you pay a touch more here for the higher guest score and the breakfast reputation, not for more stars.
Listed facilities are free Wi-Fi, a restaurant and air conditioning. Breakfast styles include continental, vegan, American, buffet and breakfast to go, but whether it is in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3

That combination made it the clearest all-round choice in the city.
