The hotel is a 30 min tram ride from the centre of Graz but it is in a very quiet and peaceful location. If you are looking for a quiet relaxing place and don't mind the tram ride it is excellent. If you hate the idea of a 30 min tram ride each way to get to the city choose elsewhere.
It is reached by tram 1 line, which runs near the hauptbahnhof, through the main town and out to the outskirts of Graz to its final stop (Mariatrost). The hotel is located on top of the nearby hill behind the Basilica. The stairs (217 of them) leading up to the basilica and hotel can be just about be seen from the tram stop. We walked up with our bags the first day so it is doable but certainly strenuous. We left fitter than when we arrived. An 11.20 Euro 7-day public transport pass (obtainable from tobacco kiosks and the like) quickly becomes worthwhile if you are staying more than three days.
The hotel was very quiet (neighbours are the basilica and a graveyard). Our non-smoking room showed no residual cigarette smell (even though there was still an ashtray mounted on wall in bathroom). The rooms were large and comfortable. The housekeeping was good and the room was clean. The breakfast, included in our rate, had a good variety and quality. The free wired internet was reliable and relatively fast (they provide a cable if you need one). There was also a wifi signal that worked fine in our room but since they don't mention it I am assuming it doesn't cover whole hotel.
The bathroom was a little tired with the grouting around the bath/shower stained dark but no musty smells. One problem with the bathroom was there was no ventilation in the completely windowless room. This meant smells and moisture lingered for hours. The other problem with the bathroom was the glass screen for the bath/shower was a three panelled folding glass arrangement that you could position along the edge of bath. There was no way to keep this in place and with the position of the shower head being mid-bath it was difficult to shower without flooding the bathroom.

we found this small and cosy hotel online on several sites.....although my husband is not a big fan of "chain hotels" this best western hotel is privately owned and operated in 3rd generation, as we could read in the history of the hotel on our room....so actually NOT a chain hotel.....and dating back to the 17th century! although the hotel is not in the center of graz, its not a big deal to drive with your car to the city center, we made it every day in about 10 minutes. there is a tram nearby who rings u to the center in about 30 minutes as well if u dont want to use your car.
the fact that this hotel is placed in the outskirts of the city, we were actually able to open our window during the night and the only "noise" we heard were the birds in the morning singing and waking us up gently... we felt like in paradise..! there is an impressive pilgrimage church just a few feet away, lots of parking space and a wonderful restaurant in the hotel! a huge "beer garden" with old chestnut trees where they serve great local dishes. the serv ice is kind and all employees are devoted to make u feel well....rooms are wonderful, we got upgraded from a standard to a superior room since we stayed 4 nights! the inoluded buffet breakfast is great as well! Free of charge high speed internet in rooms or in the lobby are nice touches as well, since back home in the US even huge hotels with very high rates charge for that! cant wait to get back!

Needed an overnight stop in Austria, and this hotel looked very nice on the web. The room however was poor - right up on the third floor (no lift or offer of help with luggage !), the furniture (desk / dresser / wardrobe) were shabby, and although the location of the hotel suggested good views, our room looked out onto the flat roof of the kitchens. The room was dark, but fortunately the bed was comfortable. The outdoor eating area was pleasant, and the menu was good with lots of local dishes on offer, but as we were not Austrian we received very poor customer service from the waiting staff. The breakfast room decor matched the bedroom - shabby, and the breakfast choices were minimal - and what there was was of poor quality. This hotel is not a good representation of other Austrian hotels we have stayed at.

Graz is beautiful but in the city difficult to park and relax! You can park here and take a short walk down the hill to the tram or bike bath wich house to the city. The church next door is a pilgrim destination and worth a visit. The beds were amazingly comfortable and room quite. Also clean! Staff really friendly! Breakfast Buffett was well rounded with fresh bread rolls fruit...,. Will be back!

We are in love with old historical buildings which are kept in good shape where, unlike in modern European hotels, you can still get spacious rooms and great atmosphere. Hotel Pfeifer Kirchenwirt is one of such properties. It is a family owned hotel / restaurant located up on the hill just a few minutes drive from central Graz. Large well-kept rooms, private parking, good breakfast. There is no lift, but I'm sure that the personnel would help anyone with their luggage. There is no aircon in the room, but the temperature is not really too high up on that hill even in summer. All staff were great, especially Elena handling the breakfast room.

This hotel was really quite lovely. We had three people in our party and our room suited our needs perfectly. We had two bedrooms (one with a queen bed and the other with a twin), one bathroom, and a wardrobe. The room was clean and the temperature was easily controlled. The windows showed beautiful views of the basilica in front of the hotel, and provides a beautiful place to wander around. Both the hotel and the basilica are historic, the hotel being built in the late 17th century (its been renovated since) and the basilica being built in the early 18th century. This place is truly beautiful, with the delicious breakfast and kind and attentive customer service. The only problems we encountered was high pressure in the shower, the lack of an elevator, and the distance from a restaurant. Otherwise, our stay was quite lovely.

When our car broke down outside of Graz, I looked for a place to stay while it was in the garage. This was SUCH A FIND!! Yes, it's a little outside Graz, yes it's old, yes there are stairs...but this is a GEM of a hotel, truly wonderful in so many ways. The staff are exceptionally helpful, kind and professional, serving you in any way they possibly can. The food in the restaurant is excellent, the wine superb, the rooms are very comfortable, the wifi is strong. And the surroundings are charming and beautiful. If I am ever in Graz again I will definitely come back to Hotel Pfeifer Kirchenwirt. It was an exceptional stay there.

Very old hotel. No elevator , but they help you to carry the luggage , from my room the view was a Cemetery , I booked an upgraded room and was surprised by the simplicity of the room and smelled of mold and old . in the reception after seeing our disappoint from the room and the hotel , upgraded us to the highest floor , there was a more sympathetic view . And even sent us to the room a kettle of tea . Breakfast is very simple . hotel is very old , clean , no elevator between floors , out of the city . Good for those who want to leave the main road to continue .
