The ambiance of the breakfast room, often referred to as the "hall of mirrors," also adds to the memorable experience, creating a charming atmosphere to start the day.

Despite the predominantly positive feedback, there are a few critiques. Some guests mention that the breakfast could be "ordinary" or "limited" with a "selection below expectations," pointing out issues like a high price for what is offered and occasional hard cakes. However, these are outnumbered by praises for the "spectacular," "first class," and "substantial" breakfast spreads.

Cleanliness is consistently highlighted; rooms are well-maintained and the hotel presents an exceptionally clean environment. Comfort is another strong point with many reviews emphasizing the comfortable beds and quiet atmosphere, particularly in rooms facing inner courtyards.

However, some rooms are noted to be on the darker side with less effective lighting and a few reviews mention outdated furniture and a need for modern updates. Noise insulation could also use improvement. Despite these points, the historical charm and luxurious feel of Palais Porcia seem to provide a memorable stay for most guests, combining comfort with a rich, historical ambiance in the heart of Klagenfurt.

Multiple reviewers emphasized the comfort of the beds and bedding, describing them as warm and conducive to a good night's sleep. Many remarked on the coziness and well-furnished nature of the rooms, which included not only comfortable beds but also amenities like a bench and table. However, there were some criticisms regarding the size and firmness of the beds. Some guests found the beds narrow and comparable to a child’s bed, explaining that they were not particularly big or long. A few noted that the beds were hard and consequently uncomfortable. Despite these comments, the overall sentiment leaned towards a positive experience with the beds, as many reviews highlighted their comfort and the pleasant sleeping environment provided.

Guests can expect a very clean environment across all areas of the hotel, ensuring a comfortable and pleasant stay in this well-maintained, classical hotel setting.

Wi-Fi
Guests of Hotel Palais Porcia generally found the Wi-Fi to be reliable and satisfactory with several instances of good and very good connectivity reported. The Wi-Fi code is conveniently provided in the rooms, allowing for easy access. Positive experiences were mainly noted near the reception area, where Wi-Fi worked without issues. However, there's feedback indicating room for improvement, particularly on the 4th floor where reception was unavailable and complaints about weak internet strength unsuitable for business activities. Despite these challenges, many guests experienced efficient and perfect Wi-Fi during their stay.

Parking
Hotel Palais Porcia offers convenient parking options that are well-regarded by many guests. The underground parking facility is a highlight, praised for being right next to the hotel or just a few meters away, making it accessible and practical. Guests have appreciated special pricing arrangements at the local parking garage and the parking fees are often covered during nighttime hours. Public parking is also easily found right in front of the hotel and can be managed through the reception.

However, some guests feel that parking should be included in the booking cost rather than requiring additional fees. Another noted drawback is the limited height of the underground parking, which might not accommodate larger vehicles. The organization of the parking garage has been described as occasionally confusing and slow, sometimes leading to inefficiencies and wasted time. Despite these issues, the close proximity and availability of parking options remain attractive features for visitors staying at the hotel.

4 Star
Hotel Palais Porcia offers a unique charm with certain features reminiscent of a Grand Hotel. Guests appreciate the golden faucets in the bathroom, a touch of luxury that's fitting for a hotel of this category. However, several reviews suggest that it falls short of the typical four-star standard in some areas. Room amenities and the overall appeal of the facilities are deemed insufficient for what one would expect at this level. Breakfast, while included, is considered average for a four-star hotel. The value for money is positively noted, as guests find the overall cost comparable to three-star hotels that don't offer breakfast. However, proper ventilation of the rooms is another point where improvements are needed to fully meet the four-star expectations.
