I spent 3 nights at the Hotel Wolfinger and wish I could have spent more. It's a very old hotel…read morelocated directly on the Hauptplatz, LInz's main square. You need to climb a flight of stairs to get to the registration desk but they have a mirror looking down the stairs so someone came down to help us lug up our luggage. The staff was lovely and extremely helpful. The rooms are all located along an open air hallway with arch ways and wrought iron railings. You can pull up in front of the hotel but there's no long term parking so the most convenient place to park is the Hauptplatz TiefGarage located off the 129. Since there were 3 of us we had a room with a queen sized bed (actually 2 twins pushed together which is pretty typical in Austria) and a sofa that converted to a twin. The beds were comfortable but could have used more or firmer pillows. If you're looking for higher end toiletries, you'd better bring your own because you get the bare minimum. A fairly typical breakfast is included with the room. There was yogurt, cereals, different kinds of fruit, Straud Jams, cold cuts, cheeses, soft boiled eggs and an amazing assortment of breads. There was an assortment of teas, regular drip coffee and a machine that ground your beans and brewed your espresso or cappuccino for you.

Five stars ***** We are so very happy we made our…read morereservations with Hotel Wolfinger. My husband comes to Linz for meetings. This year we decided to bring our grown daughter to experience Linz and Germany. The hotel is eloquent, charming, clean, superb service, and has a delicious breakfast each morning. We wanted to be in the center of Linz, for easy access to shops and restaurants. Hotel Wolfinger was everything and more during our stay. Bathrooms are updated, large and extremely clean. We enjoyed everyday, felt at home, and appreciated the staffs kind words of direction if we asked. We are from Texas, in America, and want to thank everyone who made our stay welcoming and comfortable.

Had a great stay here. Lovely lobby evening party (with free drinks) for Christmas :). The check-in…read morewas easy. The single elevator was quick. The rooms were decent: the heat worked like a charm when cranked right! The bathroom was clean. Lots of towels and no issue with the TV set not working. A bit pricy but there were great views of snowy Linz, Austria in the early morning. Good smelling soap, a crisp made bed, extra hangers and location on the Danube River all rank the 'Nike' as a hotel victory. Great job staff, for not hustling visitors in the morning! Review: 5

I would not stay at this hotel. Lobby and restaurant are deceiving. Rooms are dated, not clean and…read moresmell like cigarette smoke. Staff at the restaurant were rude and unfriendly. After traveling all day we found the restaurant could not serve us food because the staff was taking care of a party. We asked if we order food out to bring in but we were not allowed to bring outside food into the bar area. No consideration for travelers. Courtyard, less than a mile away was fantastic!!

We were missing a piece of luggage and the staff went above and beyond in contacting Austrian Airlines to retrieve our luggage. The best thing about the hotel is the location, it's in the heart of Linz, a short walk to the Hauptplatz, the Neuer Dom and a quick ride to the train station. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes in the area. If I were in Linz again I would definitely consider staying here.

Very disappointed with this hotel. We upgraded but never received what we paid for. We supposedly…read morehave the non alcoholic beverages from minibar, better shampoo etc but from all of those 3 days we received it only once. The casino floor smelled like a cigarettes and so did elevator. Be aware that you have to rent a jacket for 3 euro in the casino otherwise they won't let you in. We had room in level 5. It was a nice and spacious room but bit outdated. Things were scratched( like both headboards of our beds) and slightly dirty. The receptionist was nice and so was the personal who worked in the cafe on the bottom floor of the hotel.

Staff is rude and dismissive, no smiles or greeting. They are unhelpful. Besides them the ambiance…read moreand food is great. rooms are nice. just don't expect the staff to be kind

From the owner: Kurzurlaub oder Business Trip mitten in der Stadt, der sich wie zuhause anfühlt…read more Lifestyle Hotel mitten im Linzer Zentrum. Die Herrenstraße ist als eine der schönsten Flaniermeilen für einen Besuch in Linz unerlässlich. Mit ihren eigentümergeführten Geschäften und unterschiedlichster hochwertiger Gastronomie lädt sie zum Verweilen ein. Das Hotel Schwarzer Bär, das seit dem 15. Jahrhundert dort angesiedelt ist, befindet sich in familiengeführter Hand und ist Geburtshaus von Tenor Richard Tauber, dem Weltstar des 20. Jahrhunderts. Das Motto des Hauses: Tradition trifft Moderne - und das wird auch gelebt: neue Innovationen wie das Genussbistro an der Herrenstraße "DERschwarzeBÄR", das österreichisch-mediterrane Küche bietet und die "ROOFTOP7" Terrassenbar mit 360 Grad Blick über Linz, die mit einer großen Gin Auswahl und exzellenten Steaks verwöhnt, runden den Hotelaufenthalt ab.

They must have lost their minds…read more We had booked this hotel for our make-over-event Princess for one day before - and were happy. This time, it took 19 mails to get a response from banquet. Nineteen. Then, they "forgot" to tell us that on the day of the event they were in the middle of a marathon and it would be at hour walk from the parking outside the city to the hotel. We had to refund quite a few of our seasoned participants - they just could not handle the walk. When checking out, they overly apologized for all this and more which I was able to forgive, as they charged us only for the rooms and not the event facilities which was possibly the only appropriate thing to do. Now, many months later, they charged the event facility to my credit card - without even sending any notice let alone a bill. We will never go there again - and dispute the credit card charge. Unbelievable.
