[Accommodation Review] – AC Hotel Innsbruck (Deluxe Room), Innsbruck, Austria (11 – 13 Jan 25)

Since my previous post (click here for the post) shared the location and the service we experienced at AC Hotel Innsbruck, this post focuses on reviewing the room.

The Deluxe Room

The Deluxe Room at AC Hotel Innsbruck has a floor area of 28㎡and is decorated in nature-coloured tones.

Layout of the Deluxe Room at AC Hotel Innsbruck

Entryway

The only wardrobe in the Deluxe Room is found in the entryway to the room. The hotel fitted an open wardrobe with the right panel fitted with hanging racks for guests to hang their clothing, while the left panel is fitted with a couple of shelves and two drawers. These shelves and drawers are deep enough to fit a number of things and/or clothing. The in-room safe is found in this wardrobe, sandwiched between the shelves and the drawers. I find it weird that the in-room safe is just next to the main entrance to the room.

Bathroom

The bathroom entrance is next to the wardrobe in the entryway. The white wall tiles and the natural wood flooring used in the bathroom gave it a clean look. A single sink is installed in the bathroom, providing ample space for occupants to stow their toiletries. The toilet is installed next to the sink, while the walk-in shower with a regular shower head sits at the extreme right end of the bathroom. AC Hotel Innsbruck allocated a good amount of space for the walk-in shower. I like the small soap holder installed at the shower head, which we mainly use to stow our facial wash.

Sleeping Area

A bulk of the real estate in the Deluxe Room at AC Hotel Innsbruck is assigned to the sleeping area. In the centre of the sleeping area, sitting by the wall, is the king bed. The king bed has a firm mattress that provides excellent sleep quality, but the pillows were too soft for our liking. The hotel provides a limited pillow menu (of three choices), and we found that even the foam pillow was too soft. A couple of bedside tables were installed on either side of the king bed. These bedside tables, fitted with two large drawers, gave us tons of space to stow our stuff and charge our lifestyle devices using the European head power outlets overnight. The bedside table nearer to the bathroom has two additional USB-A charging ports on top of the power outlet. It helps that the hotel thoughtfully mounted the bedside lamps and reading lights on both sides of the king bed onto the headboard, providing additional illumination and freeing up space on the bedside tables.

The TV is mounted on the wall opposite the king bed, allowing the Deluxe Room’s occupants to receive entertainment from the comfort of the king bed. There are numerous channels for us to choose from, but only a handful of English channels (mainly news channels). A table mounted to the wall beneath the TV houses the minibar. This is where we found the Nespresso machine and an electric kettle sitting on top of a wooden box housing the coffee pods and tea bags. The mini fridge with two bottles of water is installed below the mini bar table. A grey-coloured cushioned wooden ledge mounted onto the wall extends from the minibar table, which we used to stow our luggage.

Two chairs and a small round dining table are placed near the room’s window, which allows guests to look out into the mountain ranges that dominate the skyline of Innsbruck. This table is great for guests to use for dining or work, as we did not find any work desk in the room.

Overall

I thought the Deluxe Room at AC Hotel Innsbruck was very well designed. It gave the occupants space to move around and stow their stuff. However, the wardrobe might be a little tight for two occupants to hang one week’s clothing. The bathroom is bright and looks clean. The king bed has great sleep quality, but the pillows might be too soft for guests who prefer to sleep on firmer pillows. Overall, the room was very comfortable.
