This hotel has loads of charm and is very welcoming. It's a short walk from the old town and Mirabell Gardens. The staff were extremely friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Our room was comfortable and quiet with fairly simple furnishings and immaculately clean. There is a bus service every ten minutes from the airport costing Euro 1.80, get off at Mirabell Gardens and its a 5 minute walk. A taxi costs about Euro 11. Breakfast was included and there was a good choice of food including hot eggs and bacon. Christmas in Salzburg is magical and we loved the markets. If you are a Sound of Music fan (and my wife is!) the Panorama tour is excellent. It lasts 4 hours, you have a luxury coach with an excellent guide. You will see fantastic scenery in addition to sights from the film and lots of information - even I enjoyed it!. At Euro 35 we thought this was good value too. I can certainly recommend this hotel and Salzburg for a lovely wekend away.

Just spent a lovely couple of nights in Salzburg and the Hotel Stadtkrug. It's location is perfect, right in the heart of the city and walking distance to all the attractions. It has a really warm welcoming feel when you walk in off the street. Quite quirky style inside but lovely. We found the staff both on reception and in the breakfast room really nice and helpful. We booked a twin bedded comfort room, which is a step up from an ordinary double, not sure what the difference was. The room was clean and light, relatively basic but the bathroom was much larger than you usually get in hotels, very modern and with underfloor heating. No bath in it which wasn't an issue for me but might be for some people. The breakfast was excellent too, very large range of choice.
We didn't eat in the hotel restaurant but the one opposite was excellent and i would reccommend you walk up the lane at the back of the hotel to the capuchin monastry - but then carry on up the hill through the wood till you get to the top and frankisshloss (excuse the spelling), glorious views from its outdoor cafe and excellent home made damsen cake!

brilliant hotel, staff very friendly, rooms clean and large, food in restaurant excellent. Couldn't fault it would stay here again.
