Guest Ratings & Reviews

Real Guest Experiences & Ratings
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the Design Hotel Zum Hirschen's modern and tasteful design, often noting how the hotel looks even better in person than in pictures. The rooms are described as spacious and comfortable, some even featuring a sauna. The hotel is conveniently located a short walk from the main train station and close to Rainerstraße bus stop and Elisabethstraße, offering easy access to the city, with Braurestaurant IMLAUER nearby. Some guests felt that breakfast should have been included. Breakfast is fantastic every day with a wide assortment of food available. there were some options to order breakfast (eggs benedict, Austrian pancakes, Omelet were all fantastic!). Bar: Lovely place to sit & enjoy a drink inside or out. We were lucky to get some live music in the bar area as part of the 'Take the A-Train' music festival as well. Serve Pinsa as a quick & easy dinner option if you don't want to go out.

The location is very convenient, about a 5-minute walk from the railway station. The breakfast buffet had a wide assortment of food. I particularly enjoyed the option to order eggs benedict and Austrian pancakes. The bar was lovely, and there was live music as part of a music festival.
The two receptionists were not very helpful. I only knew about the transport card because I overheard them offering it. I learned only on arrival that there was a daily charge for the car park.
