Small, cramped room. Thin towels. Spotty maid service. This is not a 4 star quality hotel. Rather a mid tier 3 star.

Friendly helpful staff and clean comfortable rooms. Location is great, just a short walk from Rathaus Xmas market and public transport stops. Also a Billa just across the road and many good local eating places that are reasonably priced within 5 minutes walk

From the moment we checked in we were impressed by the Hotel Josefhof the ambience was warm and welcoming as was the check in process. Rooms were comfortable and well proportioned a little warm at times but not uncomfortably so. Nathan in the bar gave us some great tips and assistance to help us plan our stay. The hotel has no restaurant for evening meals but there are loads of choices nearby. The hotel is in a quiet street but within 5 minutes you are in the city centre. Check out was smooth with Anna being very affordable and helpful. Would definitely stay again 😊
