We stayed here for 3 nights & it was fine for a short stay. The rooms are very small but very well kept. The location is outside the old town which isn't the best option but we had a car so this was better for us because of parking. & the Sheraton hotel which was our 1st choice was full. The only problem we had was with the front desk. We wanted to buy the Salzburg card but the man at reception (Felix) said he had sold the last one the day before & told us to get it at the info desk at the Conference centre across the road, after going up & down elevators someone from the Sheraton hotel told us that the info office had been removed quite a long time ago. We then went to the Sheraton reception & asked if we could buy the card there but we're told they could only sell it to hotel guests & then sent us to the tourist ofiice in the old town where after about an hour we managed to purchase it. We were planning on visiting the Schloss Hellbrun that day & I knew from this website that we had to get the No 25 bus there, however when I mentioned this to the same man on the reception in the Pitter he said we could also get the Number 5 bus, this happened to be the 1st bus that came along & we got on only to find out at the end of the line that we should have got off half way to get the Number 25 to the Schloss so we had to backtrack to get the bus we should have gotten in the first place, this again cost us a lot of wasted time.
Quality price wise this hotel is a good option but we probably wouldn't stay here again, there are better options in Salzburg.

We booked into this hotel due to attending a international conference within the hotel. The hotel is noted for being on the "wrong side of the river" but actually its in a great walking distance to all major attractions.

The Crowne Hotel is located one block from Mirabelle Gardens and approximately 10 minutes walk through the beautiful gardens to Old Town. Its a very comfortable and pleasant hotel with delightful restaurants and facilities.

Check- in – Fast and efficient

Room – Our room 311 is called a suite which is slightly larger than a normal standard room. The room consists of a king size bed, lounge suite, coffee table and good size working desk with Internet connection. (no broadband) mini Bar and tv is also supplied. Other conference members staying in standard size rooms said their rooms were also extremely agreeable too.

Bathroom – Spacious with shower over bath and two vanity basins. The bathroom appears to have been recently renovated . Separate toilet off the lounge room.

Restaurants – Breakfast is served in the lobby level and offers excellent variety with friendly staff. The main restaurant is called Rainerstube which is elegantly furnished offering an traditional menu with good quality food. Its however rather expensive.

Downstairs in the basement is a lovely cosy casual restaurant and bar called Pitter Keller which serves traditional meals and local specialities. Its a great place to dine if one is looking for a casual meal. There is also an outdoor garden terrace opened during summer months.

Bar – There is the Plaza bar located on lobby level which serves coffee and drinks. It has a delightful atmosphere and is fabulous place for an after dinner drink closing at 1.00am. The other bar is located in the basement which also offers a warm and relaxing atmosphere closing at midnight.

Facilities – There is a gym, sauna, solarium and swimming pool located in the basement.

Parking – is available around the corner of the building. A daily fee is charged EUR20-.

Overall – We stayed for five days and found the Crowne to be excellent. Its a comfortable and well organized hotel with friendly and efficient staff. I highly recommend it for those looking for reasonable rates with a touch of class and elegance.

Tip – If driving this hotel can be difficult to find, follow the hotel route sign and look for the Sheraton as the Crowne is just opposite. (no sign for the Crowne).

Salzburg is such a beautiful city and this hotel is a good choice for a stay. Staff was very nice and efficient. The hotel was very clean. This is an old hotel, so the rooms are small.

Although not in the old city, it is a very easy walk. Very convenient to Salzburg's beautiful tourist spots, restaurants, bars, and shops.

I would recommend this hotel to others.

Checked out the reviews and found this hotel to be the best value and nearest to the centre of town (and bus stop from the airport) on Easter Sunday.

Pleasantly surprised as wasn't really sure what to expect. Nice reception area, high quality staff and although we had to walk miles along corridors we had a lovely room which smelt like it had a brand new carpet. The bed was really comfy, the room really big, and the bathroom was good too.

Perfect for what we needed as only 5-10 mins walk to the river and main Salzburg (on a very cold and snowy night!!!)
