Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Marktgasse Hotel is appreciated for its aesthetically beautiful design within a well-maintained historic building right in the heart of the city, making it a superb location near the river and lake. The air-conditioned rooms are often described as spacious and comfortable, though some guests have noted the unconventional bathroom layout with separate toilet and bathtub areas. You'll find yourself on a car-free street in the old town, just a short walk from the main train station. Breakfast is included.

I found the staff very helpful . Water stations were on each floor. This was very convenient. The location is great. Many restaurants are close by.
My room was quite small. It felt a bit claustrophobic since it was an attic room with small interior-facing windows.
