Bad Tatzmannsdorfer Labyrinth

Can you call a building with 6 rooms positioned immediately beside a 3-storey prison hospital (encased in razor wire) a villa? A killa villa, maybe. You’ll have time to admire your next-door inmate neighbors as they catcall you from the open windows next door. Why will you have time? Because it could take an hour standing outside trying to navigate the self-serve check-in process as they try to collect parking fees and wait for your credit card to clear. Everything is self-serve with an unresponsive person who is on a mobile phone somewhere. We had to rattle cages at Expedia in order to check in. You want the wifi password? Why it’s printed in mice type somewhere in the room. Happy treasure hunting. The room itself is fine. Clean enough. Decent location to the town if you want to discount the prison vibes. I rarely write negative reviews, but I sure wished that I had read this review before booking. Buyer beware.

The hotel is well located in the centre of the city. The rooms are large with comfortable beds. The extra touches such as free wine and snacks in reception is a lovely touch. The bar which we thought was part of the hotel is actually separate and there is a strict dress code on a Friday and Saturday night.
