Fantastic hotel, very close to old city of Salzburg. Rooms cleaned daily with clean towels but shame no coffee/tea making facilities in the room. Free tea and coffee in the reception area but would have preferred in the room. Breakfast lovely but could do with a bit more variety and same thing offered each day and got a bit much after 7 days.

Book the snow shuttle up to the ski resorts, even if you don't ski as can still go up on the cable cars and do a lovely winter walk.

Booked on the basis of Trip Advisors reviews.

The Hotel has a lot going for it, Bus No 2 from Airport 1 Euro 80 cents single drops you opposite see previous reviews.

On arrival excellent first impression, some of the best staff I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, free tea, coffee, juice in lounge plus lovey biscuits, very clean accomodation, first class breakfast room, bedroom OK, clean but pretty basic, left unlocked after cleaning though.

Problem is noise - the Hotel is located just off the main road and coaches park up disgorging their loads more or less outside; from 4.30pm to 7.30pm the noise was incessant, vehicles, people etc etc. The night was mild so we had the window open as well, after that it calmed down but if you area light sleeper or want peace,take your ear plugs and ask not to be in one of the rooms that fronts the road.

Salzburg was great and I would recommend this hotel with the above caveat.

The location of the hotel is perfect - with great food nearby and the Salzburg old city just a stroll away. The Mirabell gardens are just 1 minute away. Perfect location to stroll around. The staff was very helpful, helping us with direction and restaurant recommendations. Rooms were cleaned daily. There are buses direct to/from the airport, and outside the city. We went to the Untersberg ski resort, which is very pleasant.

Stayed here for the first week of the Christmas Markets and had a wonderful time. The hotel is very convenient for the city centre, the service buses run from the front of the hotel and it is about 8 mins walk to the station (or catch a bus outside!)

We loved the hotel, though previous comments about the noise are accurate as it stands on the corner of two main roads. However we took our ear plugs, kept the window closed when we were in bed (we had a big room) and had no problems; don't think I'd like to stay there in summer though as you'd need the window open at night

The staff were brilliant; friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable, we didn't really need the tourist info. and found them quite unhelpful at times as they were only willing to give info about the city and not about visiting any of the local surrounding areas.

Tip; use the local buses to get around as they are very cheap and reliable. One bus goes to St Gilgen, and Strobl and you can change at Strobl for St Wolfgang. All three are beautiful lakeside villages beside Wolfgangsee. A through return trip (missing out St Gilgen) for two cost only 31 euros. and is a very pretty trip. You can also use the buses for Mondsee, Mattersee and Berchesgarten, and no doubt other places too.
