This is a gorgeous hotel on the outskirts of Salzburg. A car would be handy to get to it (we hired a car at the airport) although there is a bus that runs to the village and from there it is probably a 5-7 minute walk.

This hotel is a true gem, nestled at the top of a road with magnificent views over the surrounding mountains and also a great view of Salzburg and the old town, including the fortress.

The bedrooms are absolutely huge - my sister and her two girls shared a triple room (double bed and one day bed) which had two seprate bathrooms (one with toilet/basin and the other with shower and corner bath and another toilet and two basins!)

My mum and I both booked single rooms but they were far superior to anything we have stayed in, both with ensuite facilities, newly refurbished.

The rooms are unique, each decorated in a different style, the decor is scrumptious!

The breaksfast was breathtaking - everything from fresh juice to smoked salmon and plenty of it! Although the hotel does not have a restaurant, snacks are served throughout the day - the tomato and basil soup and pasta with tomato sauce were favourites of ours.

The staff were very friendly and we loved the resident ginger cat!

If you have a car or don't mind a bus ride, book this hotel now!
