Hotel Schwarzes Rössl

On the surface this property seems great, and for the most part, is. The staff was kind and helpful, the location was great, and it was easy to check in/out. I am giving this hotel a poor rating because of the noise in its location. Myself and those I stayed with got hardly any sleep due to noise outside of the hotel throughout all hours of the night. Recognize this is not a fault of the hotel, per se but they could reinforce the windows or even warn guests ahead of time. Additionally, for the price paid for the hotel the parking should be free.

Very well located in old town. The room provided the basics expected for a European 1-star facility. The refridgerator in the room was a plus.

Serving as a hotel in the summer months when it isn't a dorm makes this room hard to beat for price. Location is great and the rooms were very clean. We stayed in a room near the front on the second floor so it was a bit loud. Temperatures were very warm during our stay and the lack of air conditioning made it extremely warm at night. Since we are from the states this probably was worse for us but it is something that you need to take into account while traveling. Front desk staff was courteous and helpful. This hotel has its own washer and dryers which was very convenient for us on this long trip. There is not breakfast option although instant coffee (much better than US instant) is available with some cake in the morning.

Affordable and centrally located.

I found out while I was there that this hotel actually serves as a dorm for University students from October to June). Makes complete sense. The place was very spartan and had zero amenities (toilet paper, two bars of soap and a small flat screen TV propped atop a fridge). There was a bar basically on the premises on the other side that was noisy until the wee hours of the morning. Having said that, I will give credit where credit is due: excellent location - steps from Linzergrase and the bridges across the river to the old town, the price (extremely reasonable which should have clued me in), and the staff - young University students who were super pleasant and helpful.

I stayed here in July 2022 and loved it! It was not fancy but it was clean and the staff were incredibly friendly. It is in a great central location: close to public transportation and the city center. My only complain is that there was no air conditioning, but that would not be an issue in non-summer months. I would certainly stay here again!
