Das Friedrich
4-star comfort in Knittelfeld with easy parking
About this hotel
Knittelfeld is one of the larger towns in the Murtal valley, and Das Friedrich brings a genuine 4-star standard to a region otherwise dominated by small family-run guesthouses, real amenities rather than the bare basics, dependable parking on race morning, and rooms built for a proper night's rest rather than a tent-adjacent bunk. With 383 reviews and an 8.9 rating, it has built a track record across multiple race weekends of handling families and groups who want the reliability of a bigger hotel without sacrificing reasonable distance to Red Bull Ring. Knittelfeld itself offers more restaurants and shops than the smaller circuit-adjacent villages, giving guests somewhere to actually spend an evening beyond the hotel bar.
- 4-star comfort
- Race-day parking
- Knittelfeld town centre
Our take
Das Friedrich suits families and groups who want 4-star comfort and accept a short drive to Red Bull Ring in return for a larger town with more to do after the sessions. Race-day parking and a rating of 8.9 from 383 reviews make it a dependable choice in a valley where small guesthouses dominate. Fans looking for a farmhouse next to the circuit fence will find it too town-centred, so I would pick it for room quality and easy parking.
- ✓Book race weekend dates months ahead, since Das Friedrich's 4-star standard and 8.9 rating make it one of the first properties in Knittelfeld to sell out.
- ✓Confirm parking is reserved for your stay specifically on race weekend, since demand spikes well beyond a normal Knittelfeld weekend.
- ✓Use Knittelfeld's town centre restaurants for dinner rather than relying only on the hotel, since the town offers more variety than smaller circuit villages.
