Urban by BestChoice – FREE Parking – Self Check-in Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Urban by BestChoice – FREE Parking – Self Check-in on Pflanzengasse, I’ll be honest — the building doesn’t scream “boutique hotel” from the outside. It’s got that modern, understated vibe that fits right into Graz’s trendy Lend district. What immediately caught my attention was how quiet the street felt despite being so close to everything. The self check-in process actually works smoothly (I was skeptical at first), and you get your key codes via email, which means no awkward lobby waiting if you’re arriving late.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about this three-star spot — the location is genuinely fantastic, and I mean that. You’re a five-minute walk from the Mur River and about ten minutes to Hauptplatz, but you’re not dealing with tourist crowds right outside your door. The Lend neighborhood has this cool, local feel with cafes and small shops that most visitors never discover. I grabbed coffee at Tribeka just around the corner most mornings, and there’s a Spar supermarket literally two blocks away. Plus, you can walk to the old town easily, but you’re staying where actual Graz residents live and hang out.

The Room Experience

The room experience is clean, modern, and honestly bigger than I expected for the price point. Everything feels fresh — white walls, decent lighting, and a bathroom that’s compact but well-designed. The beds are comfortable enough, though not the softest I’ve slept on. What I really appreciated was the attention to practical details: plenty of outlets, good WiFi, and blackout curtains that actually work. The soundproofing is solid too, which matters since you’re in a residential area where people actually live normal lives.

Parking and Practical Perks

Let me tell you about the parking situation — it’s genuinely free, which is almost unheard of in European city centers. The spots are in a small lot behind the building, and while it’s not huge, I never had trouble finding a space. This alone probably saves you 15-20 euros per night compared to other places. The self check-in thing grows on you too; no rushing to arrive before reception closes, no small talk when you just want to get to your room after a long drive.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

What makes this place work is that it doesn’t try to be something it’s not. You’re getting a solid, well-located base for exploring Graz without paying for services you probably won’t use anyway. The combination of free parking, great location, and reasonable rates is pretty hard to beat. I can see why couples rate it so highly — you can walk to dinner, explore the old town, then come back to a quiet neighborhood where you can actually get some sleep.

Exploring Graz weaves medieval alleys, futuristic architecture, and coffee houses perfumed with freshly baked strudel.
