ARTAPART – Apartment Top 2 self check-in Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to ARTAPART – Apartment Top 2 self check-in on Wickenburggasse, you immediately get that “I’m staying somewhere locals actually live” feeling. This isn’t your typical hotel lobby experience — instead, you’re checking into what feels like a friend’s well-appointed apartment right in the heart of Graz. The self check-in process is surprisingly smooth once you get the hang of it, though I’ll admit I spent a few minutes figuring out the key system on my first visit. The building itself has that classic Austrian charm without being overly touristy, and you can tell this three-star place focuses on giving you genuine local living rather than flashy hotel amenities.

Location & Getting Around

Honestly, the location is what makes this place special — Wickenburggasse puts you right where you want to be without the chaos of being directly on the main tourist drag. You’re about a five-minute walk from Hauptplatz, which means you can easily pop out for morning coffee or evening drinks without planning your whole day around it. The tram connections are solid from here, and I actually found myself walking most places because everything feels manageable on foot. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night despite being so central — you know how some city center spots can be noisy until 2 AM? This street doesn’t have that problem.

The Space Itself

The room feels more like a small apartment than a hotel space, which is exactly what you’re hoping for with a place like this. There’s a proper kitchenette that’s actually functional — not just a mini-fridge and coffee maker situation — so you can handle breakfast or simple meals if you want to save some euros. The layout makes good use of the space without feeling cramped, and the windows let in plenty of natural light during the day. I mean, it’s not going to win any design awards, but everything works well and feels clean and comfortable. The Wi-Fi is reliable, which matters more than you might think when you’re trying to navigate a new city or keep in touch with people back home.

The Couple-Friendly Factor

There’s something about this setup that just works well for couples — maybe it’s the apartment-style privacy or the fact that you’re not dealing with hotel hallway noise and elevator small talk. The space gives you room to actually relax together without feeling like you’re camping out in a standard hotel box. You can make coffee in the morning without getting dressed and heading to a lobby, or grab some local wine and cheese for an evening in without worrying about hotel policies. The neighborhood has that romantic European city vibe where you can wander around hand-in-hand and discover little cafes and shops that aren’t necessarily in the guidebooks.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

What really sets this place apart is how it lets you experience Graz like you actually live there, even if it’s just for a few days. You’re not constantly reminded that you’re a tourist staying in tourist accommodation — instead, you’re just temporarily living in a nice part of the city. The self check-in means you’re not tied to someone else’s schedule, and the central location means you can be spontaneous about your plans. For the price point, you’re getting way more independence and local flavor than you’d find in a standard hotel, plus that unbeatable location that puts everything within easy reach.

Graz’s hotels wrap guests in Baroque frescoes, modern loft suites, and concierge-led culinary walks.

Reviews of ARTAPART – Apartment Top 2 self check-in

• Franko from Croatia (9/10)

  Location is spectacular – city center. Parking is secured and nearby.

• Mikhailbv from Estonia (9/10)

  Everything ok

• Riste from North Macedonia (8/10)

  Very good apartment for a short stay and if you are out most of the time (you use it mostly for night sleep). You are in the center and everything is close to you. I liked the parking option, although it was not in front of the apartment itself but a little further away and we paid extra for it.

• Carmel from Ireland (9/10)

  Lovely spacious, quiet and clean appartment with a tram stop across the road. 10 min from shopping streets. I would stay here again as it had everything that I needed there.

• Juliane from Italy (9/10)

  Nice apartment located not to far away from the centre, 10 min walk to the main shopping street. It was next to a busy street but couldn‘t hear anything as the apartment is located towards the back. The parking was amazing if even if it was not at the property. Would definitely recommend this apartment and would book it again.

• Theresa from United Kingdom (9/10)

  The apartment was clean, light, spacious and quiet. Very well located for buses, trams, funicular and walking into the old town. The owner was very helpful and responded immediately to any questions.

• Richard from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Excellent, roomy and clean accommodation, 16 min walk from the train station very near to schlossberg and old town sights. And Aldi. We got the bus back to the station at the end.

• Kimberly from United States (9/10)

  Flat was in the city center, close to everything. The host was incredibly responsive and friendly. We will definitely book here again when visiting Graz!

• Footballer from Slovakia (9/10)

  Great location 10-15 minutes to city center or castle on top of the hill by foot. Self check-in, all information provided in communication with owner of the apartment. Quick response to all of our questions. The apartment was super clean. Parking provided for fee and around 5 minutes from apartment. Without parking it would be quite tough as everything is paid and maximum stay was around 3 hours if you are not resident.

• Cri from Italy (9/10)

  Very clean apartment, in a strategic position
  New furniture and very comfortable beds.
