Nice downtown hotel
The hotel is situated in the downtown of Linz, a very short walk from tram stops and the main square, but luckily with the window closed it was quiet and not noisy at all inside the room. The staff was nice, the room was clean, bed was comfortable, and it was nice to have a bottle of complimentary water and a coffee capsule for the coffee machine. The breakfast felt overpriced, but it was good quality, mostly the usual items of a buffet breakfast, but with a little more than usual choice in fruits and cheeses.

The hotel was in a convenient location for me to walk to all of the Christmas markets, which was the reason for my trip. The staff was very nice and the single room was comfy. I even had my own balcony! Would definitley recommend

Hotel Schwarzer Bär was a good hotel.
Hotel was very good. Location in the city was convenient and staff recommended restaurants that we tried and they were good. Transport on tram was just around the corner. Breakfast was nice. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Nothing Not To Like Here
All good at this place. Welcoming check-in. Unexpected free welcome drink too. Room modern, spacious enough and well equipped with A/C. Very comfy beds. Bar is nice and the place is right in the middle of town. Couldn't find the hotel carpark and the front of tyhe hotel is in a pedestrian zone. I parked ina public underground car park near by which was a few euros more but hey, ho. Didn't eat there. Has a rooftop bar and restaurant but, as it is under glass and its a heatwave at present, did not go there. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Nothing not too like and good value.

Our room was so small that the only place to put our (medium size) suitcases without tripping over them was in an upright position in one corner. The closet/wardrobe was divided in two 14 inch vertical spaces making it impossible for suitcase placement. However, we did appreciate the on site parking.

They charged me twice.
They charged me twice. It could be a Hotels.com's fault. I chose "Pay at the hotel" option. And my money got deducted by the hotel very soon. When I checked out the hotel, the girl charged me again. She said something about "holding the money", but it IS deducted. She could check the transaction with my card from their data. Definitely, she didn't care what's happening in my reservation. The hotel itself is awesome. Very clean. Nice location. But how can I like such hotel and service.

Hotel is located just off the main street right in the centre of town. It is an easy 15 minute walk from the main train station. Our room was adequate with seperate bathroom and toilet for one night stay. Unfortunately we received quite cold treatment from the staff member upon check in and then again check out

Great location and good rooms in Linz
The hotel has an excellent location in the centre of Linz’s old town. Service is pleasant and efficient. We chose not to have breakfast in the hotel as there are many good options nearby in cafés and bakeries. Our room was very clean and had everything we needed. Recommended.
