Accommodations were not impressive. This is a basic hotel claiming to be a 4 star. Parking was…read moreeasy but it was an additional charge. The staff were respectful but the process was very confusing. As a long standing Marriott member, I would not recommend to others as they don't live up to the expectations of Marriott. They overcharged me for the rooms I reserved and were not willing to address my concerns.

My party had to repeatedly ask for refills of water and every beverage. There was no checking in to see if we were ready for another drink or to simply refill water glasses.

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.

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.

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!!
