“Had a great time1”

Austrotel Salzburg

5 May 2008

I stayed at this hotel in March for 5 nights with my boyfriend. I booked it through a website without having read any previous reviews then i came on to this website and heard all the reviews about the noise etc etc..and thought oh no are we not going to get any sleep and so on. Anyway we went with total open minds and being fairly laid back people we werent too worried.
The result was that we had a brilliant 5 nights in a wonderful city and came home with memories to treasure. What a great city and everywhere so accessible. We walked everywhere without any trouble at all.
When we checked in to the hotel we were told we were being given an upgrade as we were staying for 5 nights and were given a nice quiet room at the back. The only prob i would say with the hotel was the bells from the church that woke us at 7am on sun morning continually but hey you are in a city centre so you have to expect noise, and the fact that we were given only 1 pillow each and only a tiny thin duvet! (not a prob in the summer) Other reviews seem to concentrate on the noise, which we found no prob. A point to make is that i believe the pillows were made from feathers and i awoke every morning with very swollen eyes! Ask for more pillows and anti-allergy ones if you suffer this way.
The staff were brilliant and so accommodating. Knowledgeable about where to go, where to eat, what bus to catch etc. Def must is to buy the bus pass.
Our hightlights were the trip up untersberg mountain (made more special by the snow and soup and gluwein we had at the top..but beware anyone with a fear of heights as the cable car freaked us both out a bit as its a very steep climb and we had a woman in ours having a complete panic attack! which didnt help)
We took the snow shuttle bus (think ends in April though) to Zell AM See and had one of the best days. We didnt ski but still took all the cable cars up to the top and enjoyed the breathtaking views whilst having a beer. A wonderful memory.
A restaurant must is zum am fielden (think i may have this name wrong but cant find the card i took from there..will have a search..but the sign outside has a monkey on it) Located in the new town, the food was outstanding witha great atmosphere and was very difficult to get a table there. We ate there a few times and was the best food we tasted in Salzburg.
all in all a great hotel with wonderful staff especially the red haired lady in the restuarant whose name i have forgotten. A truly wondeful stay!

“Pleasant hotel, ideal for city break”

Austrotel Salzburg

Save Review
4 of 5 stars
Dorset, Vermont
2 Apr 2008

This is a very pleasant hotel, almost in the city centre. Our room was very clean, but extremely hot and noisy as it overlooked a busy road. We found we had to keep the balcony door open to get enough air and the noise then kept us awake! However, its location is so convenient that we could overlook this.

The reception staff were very helpful, and the staff at breakfast extremely nice. The chambermaid was a bit grumpy and knocked on the door very early in the hope of cleaning it.

You can serve yourself to free drinks in the hotel lobby all day which I felt was a nice touch - although the coffee/hot water machine doesn't always work. There are apples to help yourself to as well.

Our stay there was remarkably good value - 3 nights for the price of 2. Would I stay there again? Yes, if I was looking for a good value hotel with pleasant staff and a comfortable if noisy and hot room.

“Loved the old town”

Austrotel Salzburg

18 Jan 2008
2/3 found this review helpful

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.

“Pretty Good but take your earplugs”

2/2 found this review helpful

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.
