the description on the hotel website was very accurate: this is a nice, cosy, clean, functional and quiet pension, where i woke up to birds singing outside. shower functioned well and had plenty of hot water. the staff were friendly and helpful. the breakfast was delicious and didn't run out of supplies. there are a couple of late-night dining options within walking distance. would go again, for sure, if in graz.

nice, cosy, clean, functional, quiet

So nostalgic -- if you long for the hotel experience of 1990's what-used-to-be-East-Germany.  And quite a shock to encounter in Austria, 2018.

Room outfittings the equivalent of those at an IBIS.  

Internet access that did not work at all, neither in my room nor in the lobby -- where I gave access yet another try, hoping that I had simply been too far from a weak router.  No.  Rubbish throughout.

Front-desk personnel that promised a takeaway breakfast package and then two days later left me a note reading, Sorry, no can do.  This in spite of having my contact details; they could have told me, I could have made other arrangements...  

And credit cards not accepted.

The setting, among industrialists' Wilhelmine villas on huge lots, now turned into offices and consulates, is charming.  The lodging is near the university.  But you will do better, if you want a 2018 experience, to go elsewhere -- my next stay in Graz will be, as noted above, at IBIS, half the cost and twice the service.

Bad communication, including non-functional WiFi

We stayed in this hotel from 15 - 20 august 2017 in this hotel.
We parked the car at the free parking space at the hotel.
Luckely our room was available for us.
The staff received us very friendly!
The room was big. Enough space and clean.
The bathroom is also ok. Big enough for us. For American people i think it's too small ;).
If you want to pay this hotel you have to do it by cash. Creditcard or pin is not accepted.
The breakfast is great!! Really lovely! (See pictures).
The tram station is within 5 minutes walking from the hotel!
If you want to walk to the city it is ca. 30 minutes walking.
If you take a cab it will cost you around 7 euro (tip: take the EtaxiGraz. A tesla. Located at the busstation).

Conclusion: a great hotel for a nice stay. And the price is ok.

Lovely hotel

The relatively small pension has few advantages. It is closed to university, so would you have some business there it is perfect. It is located in a very nice area of small villas, palaces almost from the turn of centuries 19 and 20 . At the corner there is splendid Consulate General of the Republic of Kazachstan. Very quiet area.
Rooms on the ground floor are small but very clean. Towels are changed every day. It might seem a bit overpriced though. TV has only 3 channels.
The weak side of the place is breakfast. They are included in price but are very small, selection is just cheeses, ham cuts, salami, jams. Cereals. That is about it. Tea bags are seved with just warm water! It was the last day of my stay when I noticed that one can also ask for egg, but the ladies who accompany the breakfast room did not offer it by themselves. The language spoken depends on who is in charge that day or evening. Usually in the evening the young women (students?) speak English. It is not a bad place, 10 minutes ride by tram from the center. 25 minutes walk to Old Town. Nearby varioous cafes and restaurants serving students so not overpriced.

quiet pension

I have spent one night in Villa Ruckert. The place is in a good area of Graz. The room is nice, clean and taken care. The bed is comfortable and the linen in great condition.  The breakfast is Ok and the personnel very polite. Definitely value for money.
