The hotel is typic average city hotel in one of old buildings with a very central location, close to the Old Town and on waliking distance to the train station. The tram stop directly outside the hotel. The room was quite big, decorated in warm colours, and clean. The bathroom was not modern but ok for short stay. The receptionists were helpfull and friendly in all cases. The breakfaste was ok, but the choice of the food was limited and nothing special. Generally good option to stay 1 or 2 nights in Graz.

I really liked the location, we walked to the center, we walked to the trains, everthing you would wish for.
I would suugest to avoid the smokers rooms, no carpet, weird smells but our bedroom was large and so was the bathroom.

This hotel does not look like anything special from the outside. It is rather close to the train station, so easily accessible, however, a bit far if you like to spend time in the 'downtown' area of Graz. The hotel has a tiny little reception area and a lift or steps to get to the rooms on the various floors. I had a very lovely room, high ceilings, spacious, very large bathroom, hair dryer, coffee/tea supplies; however, there is no air conditioning and it was rather hot. When I openned the windows, there was quite a bit of street noise (during the early morning and daytime) and the people living in the building on the opposite side of the street can look directly into the room. Additionally, there was no safe in the room, nor refrigerator. While I really liked the room, I think I would have preferred to stay closer to downtown, and would have at least liked the option of having a fan in my room.

The Hotel Drei Raben (Best Western) is a modestly nice, though fairly ordinary hotel close to the train station in Graz, perhaps a 15 minute walk from the old town. The hotel is on a busy street, with cars, scooters, and trams making plenty of noise (far less at night, though). Some rooms face the street, others face the courtyard, so you'd probably want one facing the courtyard, if possible; there isn't exactly a sweet view of the street – at least, there wasn't much of a view from my room. I checked in at about 15:00 but the hotel was already booked, and I was told all the “courtyard-facing rooms” were already taken.

You can close the windows in your room if you want to keep out the noise, but the hotel is not air conditioned, so if it's hot outside, your room may be unpleasantly hot at night. (There was a fan in my room, however.) It wasn't that hot during my brief stay, so I kept the windows open until I went to bed and the room was fine – noise wasn't an issue. However, I wouldn't risk staying here in the summer.

Some rooms at the Drei Raben are apparently pretty small. I had a “King room” (discount via Costco Travel) which was quite spacious. The room was modern and clean, with a good bathroom, good water pressure, etc. (standard tiny shower for a European hotel room).

The hotel has wireless internet that worked well for me – in fact, it was completely open. No password or even room number was required.

Breakfast was routine but tasty: the usual meats/cheeses/rolls plus pastries, fruits, cereal, scrambled eggs, bacon, etc. There is a Greek restaurant in the hotel you could try for lunch/dinner, but I did not eat there.

As noted, it's an easy walk from the train station to the hotel, but the hotel is right on several tram lines, and you might find it convenient to buy a 24 hour tram pass (buy onboard the tram from a machine) to use to take the trams to take you from the train station to the hotel and then into the old town and beyond. I was carrying camera equipment and found the tram very convenient and time-saving for my brief stay.

I'd recommend the hotel conditionally: only if not hot outside (summer). I found it convenient because I was staying only a single night, but for a multi-night stay I might look for a different place that cost a bit less.
