Meyers Gasthof, Fam. Orthacker

Lovely family run tavern. The facilities are simple, don't expect a mini bar but there's a great tavern and restaurant downstairs that all the locals seem to use which says it all. It was hot so we asked for a fan which is important. You will need to get your own bottled water and so on. The 32 bus into Graz is right outside and very convenient. We would happily stay there again.

we were staying down the road but went to the restaurant both nights we were in graz. It was simple, yummy, no nonsense. Good weizenbier, fantastic frites, and mozzarella, zucchini, onions, mushrooms, rocket dish. NOt many vegetarian options but this one was fabulous. Cash only so be prepared.

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights and I was satisfied. First I tried speaking with my bad german but I quickly switched to english and it wasn't a problem with the staff, which acted really friendly and I appreciated it. My room, which was just big just about right, had one fairly large bed, TV with loads of programmes (not just Austrian and German), a table with a couple of chairs, some places to store things and an appropriate bathroom. Everything in the room was clean but the cleaning lady I stumbled upon had a problem with her english - just a really minor problem. On the other hand though, there was no aircondition which is not exactly pleasing but the building doesn't get that much hot even in the hottest of days. One more drawback was the church nearby that clearly cannot be popular with those that like to sleep in the morning (like me). The bell got pretty wild at about 6 or 7 a.m. and didn't stop for at least a minute maybe a bit more. Windows did not help very much. I only tryed out the kitchen in the morning during breakfast and everything was alright, I was even offered tasty eggs, no additional costs. The location of the hotel is a bit of pain but since Graz is relatively small city, you can get to the centre within 20 minutes by bus. The bus stop is just right next to the hotel. In general, I was pretty satisfied with my stay and all the minor problems can be forgotten. I had my privacy, enjoyed the food and can only make positive recommendations.
