“Hotel Alter Telegraf presents a compelling mix of vintage charm and modern comforts, notably in its well-appointed rooms and quiet atmosphere; the location, though a short walk to the Old Town, sits conveniently at the foot of Schloßberg. I find the personalized service and focus on local Styrian cuisine particularly appealing. This is a solid, family-friendly choice in Graz.”
