NH Graz City
Good bed & great pillows. Pretty good soundproofing. Water pressure etc all fine. Breakfast was very nice although no allergen labels and no GF options offered for bread etc. Free WiFi was slow and spotty (they push the paid premium options which i find annoying). Requested quiet room but I was right ...
