Hotel City Villach

“Excellent choice for Villach.”

I guess many people have said this, but it’s a great place to stay in Villach. Just across from the railway station and a short walk into the centre of Villach, even the economy room was fine - small, but comfortable, and we slept well.

I guess many people have said this, but it’s a great place to stay in Villach. Just across from the railway station and a short walk into the centre of Villach, even the economy room was fine - small, but comfortable, and we slept well. Breakfast is simply astonishing (would be worth staying a second night for this!). Plenty of storage for bikes. Great stay. Thank you!

“Good quality hotel but aircon switched off between October and May”

This hotel is conveniently located opposite Villach Hbf, the main railway station. Checkin was prompt. The lift gave a view of the station as it ascended. The room was well set out with two single beds arranged together, a good desk with chair, a backless upholstered seat or it could double as an ottoman, good lighting including at each bedside table plus a wardrobe and decent sized television. The safety deposit box was ancient. I found it impossible to operate. These should be replaced. WiFi did not fail. The generously sized bathroom had excellent lighting. It was easy to store a toiletries bag. Towels were numerous, white and fluffy. There was a shower over bath. This is not my preference but I had requested a room change so not the hotel's fault. The showerhead delivered only a modest amount of water as it was not a rainshower. The bath was spotless but did not have an anti-slip mat. A glass screen ensured no water leaked on the floor from the shower. However the sink leaked a little through its cupboard near the floor. I reported this to reception. Curtains were quite good but allowed a little light to seep in. There was a kettle and tea varieties. Breakfast was excellent. Great yoghurt, fresh cut fruit, a very good vread selection, quality mango and other juices, cold cuts such as ham and cheese plus about six varieties of cake slices. Unusually at this price point for Europe, there were three hot dishes including vegetables. The waiter was very professional. The very nice lady in her late 50s at reception in the morning efficiently found me the Mass times at St Nikolai Catholic Church 300 metres down a side street. The first floor had a classy guest lounge in addition to the breakfast room. Coming from what can be a city with hotter weather than much of Europe, I often find European hotel rooms to be somewhat overheated and stuffy. However despite my room having a modern airconditioner, it is only available for guest use from June to September. This restriction should end, as it ought be guests' decision as to what cooling or heating system they desire. Other than that, a quality hotel.

“A fine experience”

Hotel City was convenient. We arrived by Flixbus and we just had to cross the street. Everything was fine. The reception was busy but staff were helpful. Breakfast was good but very busy. If you go to Villach be sure to reserve a restaurant! We arrived late on a Saturday and several restaurants were full. On Sundays many places are closed. We went to Landskron castle and it was nice. But we had to take a taxi because buses were not running on Sundays. Very convenient for the bike trail

“Okay but…”

Good location as short walk from the Old Town and surprisingly quiet. Room is a bit dated but it was a good size as was the bathroom. Dog friendly too. Parking available outside if any free. Our only gripe is that several times through the evening, there was a really strong smell of cigarette smoke which was so bad at some points in started coughing fits. Although we complained, as had others, the hotel was unable to track it down. A room change was not possible as they were fully booked. A small discount had to suffice.
