Apartment Joanneum

Apartment Joanneum Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Apartment Joanneum on Raubergasse, you might wonder if you’ve got the right address — it’s tucked into a typical Austrian residential building rather than screaming “tourist accommodation.” But that’s actually part of its charm. The second-floor location means you’ll get a proper feel for how locals live in Graz, and honestly, the central location more than makes up for any initial confusion about finding the entrance.

Location That Actually Matters

I mean, when couples consistently rate the location a perfect 10, you know something’s working. You’re literally in the heart of Graz’s old town — I could walk to Hauptplatz in about three minutes, and the Kunsthaus is practically around the corner. What I love is that you’re close enough to everything that matters, but Raubergasse itself is quiet enough that you won’t have drunk tourists stumbling past your window at 2 AM. The tram stops are nearby if you need to venture further out, though honestly, most of what you’ll want to see is walkable from here.

The Apartment Experience

This three-star apartment setup gives you way more space and flexibility than a typical hotel room. The kitchen is actually functional — not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation — which means you can grab fresh ingredients from the nearby markets and cook if you want. The furnishing feels more like staying in a friend’s well-maintained flat than a sterile hotel, and there’s enough space to actually unpack and settle in for a few days. The second floor position means decent natural light without street noise, which is pretty perfect for the city center.

What Makes It Work

The 9.6 rating isn’t just about the location, though that’s obviously a huge part of it. It’s the combination of having your own space, being able to live like a local, and still being steps away from everything touristy. You know what’s nice? Coming back after a day of sightseeing and being able to make coffee in your own kitchen rather than hunting for an overpriced café. Plus, the building itself gives you a real sense of Austrian residential life — you’ll hear neighbors going about their daily routines, which somehow makes the whole experience feel more authentic.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

Look, if you want a fancy hotel with a concierge and room service, this isn’t your place. But if you want to actually experience Graz rather than just visit it, Apartment Joanneum hits that sweet spot perfectly. The location score of 10.0 isn’t just marketing fluff — it genuinely reflects how well-positioned you’ll be for exploring the city on foot. Couples especially seem to appreciate having their own space in such a central location, and I get it — there’s something romantic about having your own little Austrian hideaway right in the middle of everything.

Best hotels in Graz blend rooftop saunas, Styrian wine bars, and views of red-tiled rooftops.

  Everything was perfect

• Leslie from United States (10/10)

  We loved our hostess Connie, who met us and shared lots of information on Graz as well as introducing us to the apartment. The apartment itself was lovely, beautifully decorated, perfectly located in the Old City, quiet and comfortable. We appreciated having a washer! We couldn't have asked for a better place or a more gracious host.

• Csajági from Hungary (10/10)

  The apartment is located in the historic city center, museums, the main square, cafes, restaurants, shops, and a pharmacy are within walking distance. The accommodation is very well equipped, clean and comfortable, if I return to Graz I will stay there again. The bed is particularly comfortable and large.

• Collins from United States (10/10)

  The apartment was in an excellent location, it was spacious, the bed was very comfortable, there were thoughtful decorations, and the host was very friendly and accommodating

• Geo from Romania (10/10)

  The apartment is very charming, it has a interesting shape and the little private balcony is perfect for a coffee in the morning. What we liked the most though was that the bed and the pillows were so comfortable! The central location is perfect, very close to anything you want. It is safe and quiet. The owner was very nice to us, she met us to hand over the keys and to give us a lot of information about the city and the surroundings. We also could leave the luggage inside the apartment after checkout for a few hours which saved our day. Hope we`ll have the chance to come again!
