Stayed in the Blaue Gans for two nights in September 08. Found the hotel quirky with small narrow corridors with steps and interesting 'arty' lighting and decor. Really nice place to stay in Salzburg, right in the main street close to Mozart birthplace and the 'arthouse' title certainly is lived up to. The rooms (even though we had one of... more

The Blaue Gans is in an old building on Getreidegasse, Salzburg's popular pedestrian area, a few hundred meters from Mozart's birthplace. This is an ideal location to explore the city, everything is within walking distance. There are many so called art hotels. In many cases this means no more than a view prints of (more or less) contemporary art on... more

The Blaue Gans hotel is centrally located in the old town in Salzburg and ideal for exploring this beautiful city. The hotel itself is located in a restored house on the main shopping street in Salzburg, rooms are clean, light and tastefully decorated in a minimalist style, the bed in the room we had was vast with fluffy pillows and... more

This is a really good little hotel. The location couldn't be better, but so was everything else. The rooms were nice - not too overdone. Slightly smallish but smart. The restaurant is absolutely excellent. The art theme works well and the place presents a very different image to the norm. Very impressed! more

The hotel gives the impression it is a boutique type hotel, unfortunately it does not live up to this. The quality of the rooms are poor and the service very poor. The location is amazing, it is a shame the hotel is not able to get anything else right. more

Hotel is setup as Modern which is somewhat out of place for Salzburg. There is no parking at the hotel. There was no help with bags or any other such service. There were times that we had to wait for someone to show up at the front desk just to get our key after we had been out. Hotel advertises... more

Stayed here for two nights. Was a bit skeptical after some of the reviews and figured it didnt matter much since i was only going to crash here at night. Have to say was more than pleasantly surprised. Room and bathroom were exceptionally clean. The A/c was totally fine...though there wasnt much of a requirement for it. Not sure if... more

I was tremendously impressed with the service - and the atmospher e - of the Blaue Gans. I was on a walking trip from Salzburg to Vienna and needed local help. I was given excellent tips and shown where and how to avoid pitfalls along the way, which was what one would normally expect from a tourist office. The Blaue... more

Before we booked, we read the other reviews. Checked that we were getting a refurbished room with aircon. Location is superb. Breakfast and dinner excellent quality and value. Eat outside if you can. Restaurant staff friendly, helpful and fast. Room was what you expect in a city; smallish and a bit tired. Main problem was the aircon; installed but useless.... more
