Golling an der Salzach Hotels from $63

Clean, Quiet, Comfortable. Everything a person needs. Reasonably priced, and a decent breakfast.

Karen made our stay easy and comfortable. The building is new, very tidy and the little apartment well furnished. The location is perfect for visiting Salzburg and the surrounding area while allowing you the peace and quiet of a small village setting.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. Our room was spacious compared to other European rooms I have seen. The location was close to public transportation and close to many good eateries. The breakfast was very nice.

Firstly there is no restaurant. Expedia says it's only shut Wednesdays. This is wrong. The owner said he keeps telling Expedia. There are very limited eating places so we ate at lunchtime on days out and took food to our room for the evening. We ate there one night as they had a party and opened the restaurant for dinner. It was lovely. The hotel has a lot of road noise as situated on top of a road tunnel exit. However, the staff were all very accommodating. The breakfast was lovely although we were a bit confused why some tables were reserved every day. My daughter is vegan and they offered to make her food. In the afternoons there is free coffee and cake. We were upgraded to a mountain view room. As we stayed for a week this was great. Witnessed an amazing thunder storm, saw a meteor, amaizing stars and cloud formations. Sat on the balcony every evening. The hotel has WiFi which pleased the kids. Situated just out of the village of Golling and the motorway. Easy access from the airport. We went to the Golling waterfall. Steep walk but worth it. Also visited the salt mine in Halien. Went to the castle in Wern. Due to us being so unfit we decided against the ice caves but the hotel is so close to them. Spent a lot of time in the pool as we had such good weather. Was too hot to try the sauna. Was a great family run hotel and ideal as a stop off. We stayed a week.

Arriving at the hotel in incredibly easy if you are taking public transportation because it is right across the street from the train/bus station. We were a bit stressed about the fact that the lobby closes early for check-in but were greeted by a very friendly reception clerk with her typical bavarian outfit who guided our check-in process and offered a complimentary bus card to use during our stay. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the furniture is quite rustic. Bathroom very clean with the most basic of toiletries. Plenty of clean towels. We had to climb four flights of stairs up to our room (no elevator) which wasn't fun. Our view fron the window was nice, though. The breakfast was good but our meals at the hotel restaurant were simply delicious, waitstaff very friendly as well. Perhaps the best meals we had in Germany. There is a small shopping center nearby with a big grocery store. A couple of eating options at the train/bus station as well. The train station service window was closed when we arrived on Friday evening and did not open on Saturday. We had to buy our train tickets on the train. Our day is Berchtesgaden was one of the highlights of our trip to Germany. Would definitely stay again at Schwabenwirt.

Franz st the front desk was extremely helpful with helping us with our stay. He alone gets 5 stars. Good Breakfast Included.

We arrived to beautiful Werfen, a quaint town, with several attractions. The hotel had very friendly people with good food and spacious rooms. They were extremely assistive on calling the bus for the ice caves which stopped right in front of hotel. Restaurant was very large for both guests and locals and served very good food.

The best hotel we have ever stayed at. The views are amazing and the hotel is something out of a good movie. The staff were terrific. We went on a guided one hour torch nature walk that the hotel puts on Friday night. It is truly one of the most beautiful places in the world.

On a recent driving vacation through Central Europe, we headed west from Salzburg en route to Munich and the flight home, so we planned to stop in Berchtesgaden for an overnight at Villa Bello. I saw the inn on Expedia and was enchanted so I booked it. Visited mid-week and technically off-season (early December, no snow); practically had the place to ourselves. We arrived a bit late, but the wonderful staff welcomed us warmly and explained the accommodations thoroughly. We enjoyed a relaxing steam and a "brisk" dip in the pool (see pictured). The property had a 1960s "James Bond" movie minimalist decor (white rug, exposed blonde wood, spartan rooms, etc.) that was fun, but I chalked that up to being an alpine ski/spa. Unfortunately we weren't there for the skiing and arrived after dark, so we missed the sunset and a chance to check out the town during daylight. Folks should be aware that Villa Bello is indeed located high up on a hillside. The narrow, twisting road can is barely wide enough for 2 passing cars and can be intimidating to drive (especially with a stick shift and at night as I found out). So: 1) get there in the daylight if you can. It's not nearly as scary in the light. Because of the drive up, we feared to drive back down to go to dinner either in the little town or in the valley below. 2) There's not a restaurant in the hotel, so eat BEFORE you climb the mountain. (thank goodness for the minibar!) I hope to someday visit again knowing all this.
