Hotel Post

First, I highly recommend calling and getting detailed information on how and where exactly to park. Otherwise you might get lost or frustrated. Once you get parked everything will run smoothly. The employees are very helpful, informative, and friendly. The hotel is old but pretty interesting. The room was an average size and clean. I was not happy with how the two single beds were made up separately and just pushed to together. They wouldn't stay together no matter what we did. The restaurant was good, we enjoyed breakfast and two dinners there. The location is fantastic, you can walk to pretty much everything.

Located in the heart of Villach's shopping area, the Hauptplatz, a pedestrian street, the Romantik Hotel Post is an ideal location. If you are driving, you will have difficulties finding it intially because you cannot "drive by it" since the street does not have cars, but parking nearby should be manageable.

It is a calm, cozy hotel with spacious rooms, friendly, helpful service, and an amazing free breakfast that serves fresh fruits, vegetables, excellent coffee, cerals, yogurts, meats, cheeses, and there is even a person who will cook you eggs and she did a marvelous job. It was the best breakfast of my 3 week trip.

The rooms are tricky because there is a double door. Your key will not be able to open the first door, but don't panic. Just pull it open and you see the second door which your keys will fit into. Watch out for the tricky drop1/8th of a step that is common in Austria. I always get tricked by it and stumble.

The room is very spacious and the check out time is at noon. If you can, eat breakfast early so that you can walk about Villach. The stores open at 9am and the city wakes up pretty quickly. At night, after 9pm, a few bars, Mcdonalds, and two internet cafes will be open.

If you train to Villach, from the Central train station, you will have to walk away from the station towards the street that curves towards the river, once you cross the bridge, y ou'll be at the Hauptplatz and just look on the left for the words "Romantik Post." It's about a 5-10 minute walk.

Villach is a refreshing city with shy, friendly people. It's the perfect resting spot city, a city with things to do and people, but not the hustle and bustle touristy busy-ness that is associated with typical tourist destinations.

For 100Euros, I was quite happy with what I got.

Unique Qualities: The breakfast! I loved the fresh eggs they made for me. The person who worked there was prepared to make me an omellette with anything I wanted on it. I settled for two excellent overeasy eggs made as if I was in a very fancy hotel.

The quiet homey feel to it made it a very comfortable stay.

I found this hotel to be quite charming but a little outdated. It the feeling of somewhere from the 60s. Having said that i only spent one night there and was there for work, not with a partner so there is a chance that i was not the target audience and a couple may find it a lot more romantic and enjoyable than i did.
