I have stayed in this hotel for a couple of times, the last time in December 2007. The location of the hotel is perfect - in the city centre, close to everything.This is business type of shotel, the rooms are large, furnished in a simple style. But there are a couple of rooms which are very small and uncomfortable. The dinining area is very cozy. The food, the staff, the restaurant, the bar - everything is immaculate.

Ich war insgesamt zwei Wochen geschäftlich in Klagenfurt und habe in dieser Zeit im Sandwirth gewohnt. Lage: Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral in der Nähe des Rathausplatzes. Zimmer: Mein Zimmer (ich hatte ein Einzelzimmer) war relativ klein, aber ansonsten nett. Einzig störend war das viel zu kleine Kissen. Rezeption: Die Leute an der Rezeption waren immer freundlich, allerdings hatte der Nachtportier die Telefonanlage nicht wirklich im Griff, so dass er es nicht geschafft hat Telefongespräche auf mein Zimmer durchzustellen. Sonstiges: Das Frühstücksbuffet ist sehr reichhaltig und lecker, wirklich empfehlenswert. Insgesamt würde ich bei einem Urlaubsaufenthalt nicht unbdeingt im Sandwirth absteigen, dafür sind die Zimmer zu "kalt" und das Hotel zu sehr "Business Hotel". Für Geschäftsreisen ist das Hotel aber sehr gut geeignet.

Okay, I booked it. For five plus two days. Immediately cancelled the adjacent two days when I saw my "optimally equipped, comfortable room" according to the hotel´s very professional WebSite. Smallish room, though nicely furnished. Single bed (I call these casket beds) with flat pillow. No minibar or fridge. Probably the world’s only four star hotel without such a facility. No air condition. No ice cube machine in the hotel. No laundry bags or other unnecessary items. Why is it four star? Well, there was a TV.. And a room safe. Plus the free broadband internet access, not without problems. There is also a free internet corner in the lobby. Be careful with that one. The virus protection expired more than two years ago. Well, it's a gift horse. Breakfast buffet was o.k. but trays not refilled due to lack of guests. The Sandwirth promotes itself as a "business class" hotel, obviously aiming at single business travellers and conventions. I got a "cattle class" room, maybe because I had booked only seven nights. If you like a well designed, stylish hotel with the emblems of Rotary, Lions etc. at the entrance, you will love this place. In case it’s rather the basic things you value, like comfort, service etc., it might be worth checking some other options. When departing, get up early enough! Checkout time is 10.30.

Great hotel, great location - love it!
