Trans World Hotel Donauwelle

This is the third time we stopped at this hotels, it was just a short stop on our way to Switzerland, but it was very pleasant. The beds were very comfortable, the food was good, and the staff very friendly. I recommend it to anyone who needs a short stop over night in Linz.

Nothing negative about this hotel crosses my mind.

very convenient location

The hotel is easily accessible from the Autobahn from Germany (Munich & Regensburg) and Austria (Salzburg & Vienna). The location on the Danube is pleasant with good views from the rooms facing the river. Although close to a main bridge the rooms are not noisy. The restaurant is good and the outside terrace (we had dinner and breakfast) very plesant. Linz is not a particularly attractive city (industrial) but is close to lovely countryside. We visited Cesky Krumlov which is about 90 minutes drive before drving across country to Vienna and Bratislava.

I dislike hotels that advertise wifi internet throughout the hotel and then charge by the hour. Today the vast majority of hotels I use have free internet and I wish all would do so - even if they add 1 euro to the room rate. Also the signal was poor. Also the hotel advertises public parking and again charges. Most people using this hotel will drive and the parking is under the building. Again I wish these hotels would include parking in the rate.

The staff was extremely friendly and flexible. The room was nice and comfortable as well as spacious, clean and rather modern.

Superb breakfast choice

Tea & coffee making facilities in the room would be a great addition. Access to the hotel is v confusing, fortunately we arrived when it was still daylight. The hotel surroundings are a bit bleak.

Very helpful and pleasant staff

Fabulous setting on the Danube, comfy hotel, good parking
