“Great for Wagner Fans”

The Arvenna Congress is located within about a 20 minute walk of the Festspielhaus, venu for the annual Wagner festival in the summer. The hotel also runs a courtesy van to take guests to the performance and pick them up afterwards. The desk staff was fluent in English, knowledgeable about the festival and maintained a board with "ticket for sale/want to buy" information. The room was one of the few we've stayed in in Europe with real air conditioning. The breakfast room is huge and impersonal. The wait staff is not particularly attentive, but the food is plentiful and good. We'd definitely return to the hotel if we're fortunate enough to attend the Wagner festival in the future.

“Expensive”

Good location but very expensive during the Opera season for what you get. The room was dark, gloomy and did not have what you would expect a hotel at this price to have,. Towels were paper thin and none of the extras like Shampoos were available. The hotel itself appeared to be a converted warehouse of sorts and old fashioned and tired.
