Apartment don bosco Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Apartment don bosco in Graz‘s Gries district, you immediately get the sense this place knows what it’s doing. It’s tucked away on Franz-Riepl-Gasse, which honestly feels more like a local secret than a tourist trap. The building has that solid Austrian charm without trying too hard, and there’s something refreshing about a three-star property that doesn’t oversell itself. You know what really caught my attention though? The fact that there’s actually free parking right on site — in a European city center, that’s practically gold.

Location & Neighborhood

Gries is one of those neighborhoods that locals love but tourists often miss, which works perfectly in your favor. You’re close enough to Graz’s historic center that everything’s walkable, but far enough out that you’re not dealing with crowds outside your door every morning. The area has this lived-in feel with proper cafes and small shops where people actually go about their daily lives. I mean, recent guests rated the location 8.1 out of 10, and honestly, once you see how easy it is to get around from here, you’ll understand why. The tram connections are solid, and if you’re driving, you’ll appreciate not having to hunt for parking every time you come back.

The Apartment Experience

What makes this place work is that it actually feels like an apartment rather than a hotel trying to be something it’s not. The spaces have character — real furniture, proper storage, and those little touches that make you feel settled rather than just passing through. Each unit has its own kitchen setup, which is perfect when you want to grab some local ingredients from the nearby markets and actually cook something. The rooms are well-maintained without being fussy, and there’s enough space that couples don’t feel like they’re living in each other’s pockets.

What Sets It Apart

The thing about Apartment don bosco is that it gets the basics absolutely right, then adds just enough extra to make your stay memorable. The staff clearly knows the area well and can point you toward the good stuff — not just the obvious tourist spots, but where locals actually eat and drink. The building itself is quiet, which you’ll appreciate after long days exploring Graz’s hills and historic sites. Plus, having that parking situation sorted means you can actually use this as a base for day trips around Styria without the usual urban hassles.

Why Couples Keep Coming Back

There’s a reason couples rate this place so highly — it strikes that perfect balance between independence and comfort that makes for a great romantic getaway. You’ve got your own space to spread out, a kitchen for lazy morning coffee, and a neighborhood that’s perfect for evening strolls without feeling like you’re on display. The 7.8 rating reflects exactly what this place delivers: solid, reliable, and genuinely pleasant without any pretense. When you’re exploring a beautiful city like Graz, sometimes the best accommodation is one that simply gets out of your way and lets you enjoy where you are.

Reviews of Apartment don bosco

• Istvan from Hungary (9/10)

  Nice, well equipped apartment for 2 people. good value for the money. Friendly host.

• Nicole from Austria (9/10)

  Wonderfully clean little apartment with great attention to detail making your stay comfortable – complementary coffee, first aid kit and even charger for your mobile phone. Fantastic location to access public transport – local train station Don Bosco and lots of busses just round the corner (there are some small steps for pedestrians to reach the train station quicker). Call the hosts on arrival and they will let you know how to get in – the apartment is by the side of the main house (blue/green), just through the white gate. Very quiet and well equipped.

• Die from Austria (8/10)

  Die Lage ist super, Öffentlich mit verschiedenen Buslinien sehr gut erreichbar. Die Größe war angenehm, nicht zu klein. In der Küche war alles vorhanden, was man zum Kochen braucht und sogar zwei Kaffeediscs für die Cafissimo Maschine. Heizung, Warmwasser etc hat alles funktioniert, für ein paar Tage Aufenthalt wirklich gut geeignet.
