We loved the hotel & room. As always when we travel to Europe, there are things that are unique, we find that part of the fun of traveling! The staff were so friendly and helpful, everyone we encountered. The room was clean and comfortable. The best was the location and ease for getting to the center and to the next city we visited. Excellent

Nice hotel with unique character and original ideas. I loved that they produce and sell their own honey, offer bike rentals, and explain the hotel rules clearly on a one-pager. But what stood out most to me is how they’ve preserved some original design elements of the hotel. It gives the place personality and sets it apart from those uniform, look-alike hotels. The only downside for me was the ba...

I came here for work in September, only for one night. I arrived late and left early, but there was staff there at all times, which made everything easier. Staff was also very nice and helpful, top tier service imho. Since Graz isn't too far from where I live, chances that I will need a hotel there are rather low. But if I need a room there, Hotel Daniel will be my first choice!
