"Our stay was very good! Location right next to train station was awesome! Front Desk staff went above and beyond, including staying after his shift to assist & ensure we all had what we needed. The close proximity to the bus stops was equally important for our excursions! We would definitely recommend here for travelers who will be exploring the area & need a great, comfy location."

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent hotel! We loved it. We traveled with our two kids. Great check-in, super clean and 4-star room. Breakfast was excellent and wide-ranging. We had dinner in their roof top restaurant and it was a great, higher-end experience, definitely one of the better dinners we had on the trip. Hotel is about a 5-7 min walk from the main train station, very easy to get to. Highly recommend. Takes about 10-15 min walk to get to Salzburg’s Alstadt, the old city center. Bonus: I left a shirt in our hotel room and it was returned to the front desk by the cleaning staff so I was able to come back a few days later to retrieve it (thank you!)."

"This is a cute hotel, just a short walk to the center of old Salzburg. And located an even shorter walk from the train station. I never ate here, but there are choices aplenty in the neighborhood. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They do have bikes to rent, which was a great idea! Riding a bike through Salzburg is very easy and fun and you can pretend you’re Fräulein Maria. The bed was comfortable and I loved that the room had floor length mirrors."
