Hotel Daniel Graz
This hotel is my top choice for a stay at Graz. Friendly people, nice rooms, usually an excellent breakfast. This time there was significant construction work. The breakfast was limited in space and choice, there was quite some noise during the day. I'm sure, they will return to the normal quality ...
