부동산 — Steiermarkhof
The Steiermarkhof is a practical, no-frills three-star hotel on the eastern edge of Graz, a short tram ride from the city centre. The lobby is clean and functional, with a small reception desk and a breakfast room that does the job. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a reliable base near the exhibition grounds or the Stadion Liebenau, not travellers seeking charm or character. The main USP is the price and the free on-site parking, which is rare so close to the city.
Graz 연대기
Graz was first mentioned in 1128 as a Slavic settlement called Gradec (small castle), and the Schlossberg hill became its defensive core. The city flourished under the Habsburgs from the 13th century, becoming a key trading hub and university town. Its architectural identity is a striking mix of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque buildings in the Altstadt, and bold contemporary works like the Kunsthaus (2003) and the Murinsel (2008), which reflect a modern, cultural confidence post-EU enlargement. Today Graz is Austria’s second-largest city, known for its lively food scene, student energy and a UNESCO World Heritage old town that feels compact and walkable.
방문하기 가장 좋은 시간
Graz 완전 가이드 →최고의 달
June and September offer the best balance: warm, sunny days (20-25°C) and fewer tourists than August. July is also fine but can get very hot and crowded.
Peak / Festival Surge 근처 오락거리
August is the peak tourist month, driven by school holidays and the summer festival 'La Strada' (street theatre and circus). Hotel prices can jump 20-30% compared to June, and advance booking is essential.
Budget Shoulder 시즌
May and October are the budget-friendly shoulder months. May has mild weather (15-20°C) and spring blooms, while October is cooler but still pleasant, with lower room rates and thinner crowds.
날씨 & 포장
Graz sits in a basin, so summer afternoons can bring sudden thunderstorms even after a clear morning. Pack a light waterproof jacket and an umbrella as a non-negotiable item, plus layers for cooler evenings.
City Briefing 근처 오락거리 — Graz
- Tram line 6 (which serves the hotel stop 'Steiermarkhof') has been running with reduced frequency on weekends in July due to track maintenance between Jakominiplatz and Webling; check the Graz Linien app for live schedules.
- The 'Red Bull Ring' in Spielberg (70 km north) hosts the Austrian Grand Prix on 5 July 2026, which will spike hotel prices and traffic on the A2 motorway through Graz.
- The 2026 Graz Summer Night Market at the Schlossbergplatz has been extended to run every Thursday evening through July, offering local food and crafts until 10 pm.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Steiermarkhof, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a rear-facing room on the second or third floor. This avoids street noise from Ekkehard-Hauer-Straße, a busy dual carriageway leading to the A9 motorway, and the lift noise on the ground floor.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the first floor and any front-facing rooms on lower floors. The street is a main road into Graz, with morning and evening rush-hour traffic. Ground-floor rooms may also pick up noise from the small lobby and breakfast area.
Best views
Given the address on a main road, the best view is from rear-facing upper floors overlooking the hotel's internal courtyard or neighbouring quiet residential area – not scenic, but calm. Front-facing rooms see the tram line (line 6) and traffic.
Quietest floors
Second and third floors. The hotel appears to be a low-rise building (likely 3–4 floors) with no rooftop terrace or bar, so upper floors are naturally quieter.
🔊 Noise notes
Primary noise is road traffic from Ekkehard-Hauer-Straße, especially 7:00–9:00 and 16:00–18:00. Trams run along this road until about midnight. The hotel has no bar or restaurant after breakfast, so no late-night guest noise. Occasional aircraft from Graz Airport (5 km away) are faint but audible on quieter floors.
Insider tips
1. There's free on-street parking on side streets like Kärntner Straße, but Ekkehard-Hauer-Straße has paid parking (8:00–19:00, Mon–Fri). Arrive after 17:00 for free street parking. 2. Request a room on the second floor when booking – the lift serves all floors but stairs are available, and second floor is high enough to escape street noise without being in the attic (if any).
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Graz 주요 관광지
💡 The Stadtpark Café does a decent €3.50 Apfelstrudel. Avoid the pond edge – duck aggressive if you have bread. The rose garden near the west gate is quieter.
💡 Walk up from Schlossbergplatz. The café at the top does reasonable coffee with a view for €3.50, not the overpriced one by the lift exit.
💡 Cross it at dusk when the lights turn on. The café is expensive (€4 for a small beer) – better to bring a drink and sit on the bench end.
💡 Go on a Sunday morning – quietest. Wear flat shoes, the metal stairs are worn. Audioguide is worth €2 extra for the stories behind the pikes.
💡 Don't pay for the exhibitions (usually €12) unless you love contemporary art. The real attraction is the building itself. Stand under the nozzle on the east side – it drips water in summer.
