ARCOTEL Nike

Old

I stayed at the Arcotel Nike Linz for three nights in January 2024 as part of a solo holiday. The location of the hotel is slightly away from the old town - about 15 minutes walk - but being right next to the Danube and the Brucknerhaus has its own attractions. The hotel is a simple tourist hotel with no bells and whistles. My room on the fourth floor was basic and clean but showed many signs of wear and tear and much need of renovation. I noticed a new Arcotel is being built close by so maybe this hotel won't be around for much longer...? The staff were very helpful and kind and spoke excellent English. The breakfast buffet was very good and extensive, and being able to have dinner in the hotel restaurant was a major benefit, considering there were no restaurants nearby and it was very cold and wet when I was there. The food was excellent. The one BIG problem occurred on my last night when about a hundred young people - they seemed like senior high school students - descended on the hotel. Sadly these people were very badly behaved and very poorly supervised. There was a lot of noise in the hallways and even knocking on my door. To their credit, the staff immediately understood my predicament and upgraded me to a superior room on the top floor for my last night. This was very comfortable - and quiet - and was offered immediately and without question once I let them know what was happening. I know the behaviour of the students was not the hotel's fault, but it did spoil what was otherwise a very pleasant stay.

The position of the hotel is excellent. On the bank of the Danube with a beautiful view. The hotel is surrounded by a park and this is the reason that it is a very peaceful and quiet hotel. The parking lot in front of the hotel is large, but it is charged. The breakfast is excellent. Something for everyone. The room I was in is small but clean. There is no minibar in the room. You need to invest in the elevators because they are old and a bit scary. The bar has a beautiful terrace with a view of the Danube. The staff was ok

This is a pretty soulless hotel. The room was fine and the bar was ok with nice views over the Danube. Breakfast was a bit disappointing. Most of the tables were "reserved" (who allows breakfast tables to be reserved?) and nearly all the empty ones were dirty - nothing cleared away from previous users. It wasn't that busy or late. We ended up sitting on bar stools at the back of the reataurant

I want to say nice things about this place. It is in a great location and the on-site staff are amazing but it was a rather weak attempt at a 4-star hotel. Before arriving I wrote the company and asked about their TV and wi-fi and whoever answered me gave me totally wrong information. The wi-fi is open so I could have brought my google chrome and cast TV/movies. This would have been useful given that for 2 of the 4 days I was there it was so foggy outside that going out was just not worth the effort. The gym and spa facilities are still closed thanks to COVID (my stay was over the NYE 2022-2023) and the offsite gym is super pricey at 20 euro PER DAY! My room was ok but I have had far better for far less and, it looks and feels a bit outdated.

Was walkable to city center and view of the river was great. Disappointed that there was not even a coffee/tea maker in the room.

Great breakfast, perfect location and views of the Danube

Nothing to blame, very clean, I felt safe. I liked the rich and varied breakfast.

Great stay

Stayed there 1 night and the service and cleanliness was good! Also the views on the backside are nice
