Homelystay Graz – downtown app Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Homelystay Graz – downtown app on Färbergasse, you honestly wouldn’t expect much from the outside — it’s tucked into a typical Austrian building that blends right into the historic streetscape. But that’s actually part of its charm, you know? This three-star property doesn’t try to be flashy; instead, it focuses on giving you a genuine local experience right in the heart of Graz. The entrance is understated, which I appreciated after dealing with some of the more touristy places in the city center.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s what makes this place special — you’re literally steps away from everything that matters in Graz’s old town. I mean, you can walk to Hauptplatz in about three minutes, and the famous Schlossberg is right there when you want to work off that schnitzel. The street itself is quiet enough that you won’t hear party crowds at night, but busy enough that you feel connected to the city’s rhythm. Couples seem to get this location thing — they’ve rated it a perfect 10, and honestly, I can see why. You’re close to those little wine bars and cafes that locals actually frequent, not just the tourist traps around the main square.

The Apartment Experience

What you’re getting here is essentially a well-designed apartment that feels more like staying at a friend’s place than a hotel. The room I stayed in was clean and thoughtfully arranged, with enough space to actually unpack and settle in for a few days. There’s a small kitchenette that’s perfect for making morning coffee or storing those amazing pastries from the bakery downstairs — and trust me, you’ll want to do both. The furnishings are simple but comfortable, and the windows let in plenty of natural light during the day.

Practical Comforts

The Wi-Fi actually works well (which isn’t always a given in these older buildings), and the heating keeps things cozy during Graz’s cooler months. What I really appreciated was how quiet it stays at night — the building seems well-insulated from street noise. The bathroom is compact but functional, with good water pressure and plenty of hot water. You won’t find fancy amenities here, but everything you need is there and works properly, which is honestly more than I can say for some pricier places I’ve stayed.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.5 rating isn’t an accident — this place delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense. You’re paying for location and comfort, not marble lobbies or concierge services, and that trade-off works perfectly for most travelers. The value is exceptional when you consider you’re staying in prime real estate in Graz’s historic center. If you want to experience the city like someone who actually lives here, rather than just passing through, this is your spot.

  • Judit from Hungary (9/10)

    The location is perfect, just a few steps from the Main Square. Anne was a great host, easy to communicate, and very flexible and helpful. She even prepared a welcoming intro on how to get into the apartment and a wonderful PDF file with lots of information on the City of Graz. The apartment looks exactly as shown in the pictures, perfect for a 4-night stay, and has everything we needed.
