“Nice Hotel on the fringes”

First, I must say that the hotel was nice. Other reviewers had praised the breakfast offered, and I confirm that praise. It was a European breakfast, with a nice selection of meats, cheeses, breads, grains, beverages and fruits, in a bright room, with plenty of windows. The staff was pleasant, and helpful. If your German is a bit rusty, worry not; all of the wait staff had a very reasonable command of English. My room was on the third floor, second floor by European naming conventions, and there was a tiny elevator. It was small, and spare, and looked like it had been decorated in Ikea showrooms. My room was at a corner of the hotel, near the intersection on which the hotel stands. There was considerable vehicle traffic, which was audible. Away from this corner of the building may not have been a problem, but I don't know. The hotel was an easy walk to the older, historic districts of Salzburg, and I didn't feel any danger, but some of the surrounding neighborhoods were not so nice as the hotel. The bus stops 2 blocks away, but once you figure out the StadtBus, its a great mode of transportation. MirabellPlatz was a 5 block walk, the old city about a 7 block walk. I spent 8 days, and except for the weekend when the hotel was very busy, I was comfortable. Soundproofing in the hotel was poor; anything that happened in the adjoining room's bathroom sounded like it happened in my bed. There were no amenities like microwave, fridge, etc. not justifying the rate..

“Comfortable Hotel”

Hotel & Villa Auersperg is a 5 minute taxi ride from the Hauptbahnhof and a 10 minute walk to Salzburg Old Town. The hotel staff were very accommodating for an early check-in and secured out luggage so we could get busy sightseeing. When we returned, our luggage had been delivered to out room, and ready for us to relax. The room and amenities are what we expected from having traveled extensively throughout Europe and not choosing to stay at the big chain hotels. The included breakfast was perfect for any taste and offered something for everyone. The only downside is the distance to the main sights, which on a rainy day was challenging.

“Outstanding experience”

Among our many hotel stays over the past six months, Hotel and Villa Auersperg was extremely nice. We picked this one after the many positive reviews. We agree with the other comments about the staff and breakfast--both were outstanding. We especially like the Nespresso machine in the room and also did not know this was an additional charge. However, it was not very surprising. Even 1.50 is less than you pay for a coffee anywhere else and this is Nespresso. We also went to the local Nespresso store and bought our own capsules since we have a machine at home. Not surprisingly this hotel does not have AC but this is very typical for the region. We would prefer AC but the experience here was outstanding. We will definitely stay there on our next trip to Salzburg.

“Excellent boutique hotel”

Everything about this hotel impressed us - the efficiency of the front desk staff, the sumptuous breakfast, the stylish decor made this hotel one of our favorites. Honestly, the breakfast is amazing! We also loved our balcony overlooking the street as well as the pretty little garden in the back.

“Very comfortable stay. Quiet, room, comfortable beds. LOVE the decor and the location -”

Our travel was for business, so a good night's sleep was a MUST. We would definitely return to this hotel. Comfortable beds, soft pillows, with chocolates on the pillows each day, and apples in bowls in hallways and lobby. The morning breakfast buffet is included and is wonderful. Everything from eggs and bacon to pastries, breads, meats, cheeses, fresh fruits, yogurts, special oatmeals, fresh juices, and cereals. A fantastic way to start the day and personally served with a smile from the staff. Since ours was a business trip, early breakfast was a must, and having the buffet in the hotel was so convenient. The location is perfect for a short walk to several terrific restaurants and bars for evening fun. Older downtown area is only a few blocks away with plenty of shopping, including a grocery store. Everything is walking distance including jewelry stores, pizza places, gelato and candy shops, Italian restaurants, banks, museum, local vendors, beautiful gardens, cathedrals and even horse drawn carriage rides. On a final note, we recommend this hotel for it's sauna and spa. The healing massage was fabulously relaxing!!!

“BEST HOTEL IN SALZBURG!!”

EXCELLENT HOTEL! I CHOSE IT BASED ON ALL THE POSITIVE REVIEWS AND I LEARNED WHY IT RATES SO WELL. GREAT ATMOSPHERE, A HOTEL BUT MORE OF A HOME TYPE FEEL WITH CHIC. ROOM WAS CLEAN, EXCELLENT SIZE FOR EUROPE. EVERYONE FROM THE FRONT DESK TO THE RESTAURANT WAS VERY NICE AND HELPFUL. BREAKFAST WAS DELICIOUS. MANY PLACES TO RELAX. ON ROOFTOP A RELAXATION ROOM THAT WAS MY DAILY RETREAT AFTER LONG DAYS OF WALKING AND SIGHT SEEING. SAUNA & STEAM VERY CLEAN. BORROWED THEIR CAR FOR A SMALL CHARGE AND VISITED THE COUNTRY SIDE. I WILL BE BACK!!! BEST HOTEL IN AUSTRIA!! I WOULD AVOID THE BIG HOTELS NO MATTER HOW MANY STARS RATED AND TRADE IT FOR THIS REAL GEM! VISITED THE ICE CAVE-BE PREPARED TO EXERT YOURSELF, MUCH HEIGHT TO CLIMB AND INCREDIBLE WALKING. ENJOYED THE EAGLES NEST TOUR AND THE SOUND OF MUSIC TOUR. VISIT OLD SALZBURG AND GET A ROLL AT ST PETER BAKERY NEAR THE CEMETARY! Hohensalzburg fortress IS A MUST. LOVE SALZBURG!!!

“Would go back”

Everthing was very well designed and organized, the breakfast buffet was very good, the room was well equipped (cd player, cds, travel guides, other books included) I only wish it was a tiny bit larger, we only had 2 small cabin luggages but it would have been difficult to fit in with normal bigger luggages. Location wise the hotel is not exactly in the center but 5 / 10 minutes away by foot which is good because the area is very calm yet not isolated from the center.

“Lovely hotel, extraordinary breakfast”

Room was comfortably sized, beds were very comfortable, little chocolate bars on the bedside table each night, our windows opened to a cute courtyard and a pedestal fan provided just the right amount of white noise to ensure a good sleep. (my travel partner did not like the lack of AC, but I found the room temperature perfect). The only room negative was no hair conditioner was provided. The complimentary breakfast was amazing. A delicious assortments of breads, thinly sliced meats, cheeses, spreads, fresh veg, farm fresh soft-boiled eggs (with bright yellow/orange yolks), breakfast pastries, fresh fruit, delicious yogurts, homemade jams, homemade porridge, homemade meusli, fresh squeezed carrot/apple/orange juice, other assorted juices, kombucha, teas & coffees (including coffee drinks). I could go on and on. All served by delightful staff in a bright dining room or on a fantastic deck (weather dependent). Just an FYI: fresh apples were available in the hotel throughout the day. An excellent value for the money. Surrounding area - Die Weisse about a 2 min walk down the road, an excellet Indian restaurant is right around the corner, and the pizza at the italian restaurant across from the indian restaurant was delicious. About a 7 minute walk to the Congress Center.
