Hotel and Restaurant Hackteufel stands on the Steingasse at number 7, between the Church of the Holy Spirit and the Old Bridge, in a privately managed building with a family feel. There are twelve guest rooms, each furnished individually, and each has its own bathroom, a hairdryer, an iron, a writing desk, an LCD television, a telephone and Wi-Fi. A baby bed is available free of charge. The cosy restaurant downstairs serves local wines, beers and regional seasonal dishes as well as international food, which makes dinner easy on a cold evening. It is a small, personal base for visitors who like old buildings, short distances and a quiet hello at reception.
Getting around
The position is superb for the river. The Old Bridge is steps away, the Marktplatz and the Church of the Holy Spirit are close by, and the Steingasse itself has taverns and a brewhouse. The castle is a walk up through the Old Town or by funicular from the Kornmarkt. Evenings in the lane can be lively, so a room facing the courtyard or the quiet side suits light sleepers, and you should ask when you book.
The rooms
With only twelve rooms, each differs in size and layout, so look at the room descriptions or ask the hotel what suits you. Expect a simple, comfortable setting rather than hotel-chain polish, and be prepared for stairs in a historic building. Wi-Fi is provided, and a baby bed at no charge makes it friendly to young families who travel light. Breakfast arrangements vary by rate, so check what is included.
What to know
The hotel does not have its own parking, though a public garage at the Kornmarkt is a short walk away and charges a daily rate, so ask the hotel what it recommends. Rates are mid-range and climb at Christmas and in the summer. It is best for couples and independent travellers who want atmosphere in the Old Town, and less suited to travellers who need a pool, a gym or a lift to the door.
