Top hotels in Ries
Hotel Weitzer Graz
The staff were very friendly and helpful, and happy to make recommendations for places to eat. The room was great, plenty of space and very comfortable. The hotel is just a few minutes walk from the old part of the city, but very quiet. I would definitely stay here again.
