Paradies

Excellent room. Fantastic staff and service

I wish the hotel had a shop for snacks and a gift shop

I liked the sport facilities the most. And the staff were really helpful. The room was very clean, large and comfortable. I liked the quietness of the place and the fresh air that we miss so much living in big cities.

The breakfast was nice, but some of the vegetables seemed not so fresh and clean. Other than that the food and the service was good.

The staff was very atttentive and polite. Rooms were big and comfortable. Windows can be opened which is great if you like to sleep with freh air. I did not really have the chance to use any of the facilties (Sauna etc.) , but these are probably big added bonus, though. Not sure if I would put that under like or did not like: There's an Arnold Schwarzenegger theme/topic there. So, in one part of the building, there are lots of pictures of him - and the theme appears to also draw some afficionados as, when I went up to my room quite late in the evening after a seminar, there were to half naked "body builders" (quotation marks for they were not really that muscled or good shape) in the hallway, probably coming from the gym, sauna or steam bath on the way back to their rooms.

About the location: This is not the location you would look for if you want to experience Graz (old town), as it is outside of the center and in a somewhat non descript area. It's good for business and seminars, though. I had a seminar at the very closely located Steiermarkhof - and this is in walkable distance (12-15 minutes). The rooms are way superior in Hotel Paradies in comparison to Steiermarkhof, so you could think of that as an alternative.
