Pros:

Ein sehr schönes altes Hotel, das den Flair von Luxus verströmt. Liegt perfekt zentral, mit allen vor und Nachteilen. Ob shoppen oder Sightseeing, alles startet direkt vor der Haustür. Bevor der Tag startet, stärkt man sich am besten bei einem guten Frühstück, mit frischen Kaffee und toller Auswahl

Cons:

So richtig nicht gefallen, gab es nicht. Eine Dusche, anstatt einer Dusch-Badewanne, würde dem Zimmer sehr gut stehen.

Super Lage in Salzburg
Pros:

Wunderschönes Zimmer in bester Lage in der Altstadt.

Cons:

Die Kaffeemaschine ist undicht und etwas kompliziert zu bedienen. Das Frühstück ist unverschämt teuer.

For radisson blu, i expected staff to be more polite and professional in handeling things.
Pros:

the location was very good, right in the center! the breakfast staff were great! very friendly and accomodating.

Cons:

the younger staff at the cafe and reception were not informed of hotel deals that we purchased and were very rude about us “not paying” even though we paid through the website already. the young man at the cafe bombarded us multiple times and was very rude to us even though a normal conversation was possible. He did not apologize nor did any other staff. Their only excuse was that they “were new”. Inexcusable for a hotel of this standard. Felt like I was at a Hostel.

Pros:

I had a riverside room that was almost as big as my apartment. :) It is in the mid of old city. Since it's an old building, there are occasionally some building noises. However, don't pay too much attention to reviews complaining about this. During my stay, I only noticed one or two brief sounds that were so minor I would have ignored them if I hadn't been aware of the comments beforehand.

A most perfect “Home Away From Home” in Salzburg
Pros:

Our room was quiet and spacious. The hotel was centrally located in the Old Town and convenient to other sites and meeting points. We walked from the hotel to the Hohensalzburg Castle for a Mozart concert and dinner. We easily walked to the meeting point for our Sount of Music Tour. We walked out the hotel back exit/entrance to the old town shopping area. The staff was most professional, knowledgeable, friendly, personable, helpful and accommodating. The restaurant at the hotel had an excellent menu, and the breakfast was always extraordinary! We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Radisson Blu Hotel Altstadt for a stay in Salzburg.

Pros:

Great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Spacious, clean, and comfortable room.

Cons:

This really isn't in their control. I'm a tall person. The doorway to my room was low as were some other doorways on the property and after knocking my head repeatedly I learned to move about carefully. Just be advised if you're tall.

The one elevator that accesses rooms 102 etc. could be very slow.

These are minor things that in no way detracted from a wonderful stay at this property.

Pros:

Fantastiskt läge mitt på centrala gågatan. Stort och fint rum. Trevlig uteservering.

Cons:

Omöjligt att parkera på gatan utanför hotellet, långt att släpa väskorna till parkeringshuset.
Gammaldags dörrlås på hotellrummen med vanlig nyckel att lämna i receptionen. Vi fick ett annat rums nyckel vid ett tillfälle, inte speciellt säkert.
Jag fick efter att vi åkt ytterligare en faktura på 28EUR för diverse avgifter, efter påstötning så visade det sig att den fakturan var till en annan hotellgäst och dom ville ha mina kreditkortsuppgifter på en pappersblankett som skulle mejlas till dom för återbetalning av de 28EUR. Väldigt oprofessionellt och ett mycket osäkert förfarande att hantera kreditkortsuppgifter på.

Very comfortable hotel located in the heart of the Altstadt and many Salzburg attractions.
Pros:

The property is located in the Altstadt close to most of the Salzburg attractions and is close to great cafes, bars and restaurants. Our suite was very comfortable and spacious with partial views of the river. The staff are also friendly and very helpful.

Pros:

Location. Comfort. Beauty and history

Cons:

One small thing. You have to ask for the included Travel Pass. They print it out for you but if I didn’t research ahead of time and specifically ask for it I wouldn’t have gotten it. It is free transportation in Salzburg and a great asset.

Pros:

Ganz besonders die gute Lage, man ist mitten in Salzburg und kann alles zu Fuß erkunden. Was auch super ist, ist der Parkservice vom Hotel, man kommt hin stellt das Auto ab und wenn man abreist wird es wieder gebracht. Erwähnen muss man aber auch das überaus freundliche Personal, hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend.

Pros:

시내 중심부에 있으먼서도 한적한 분위기가 좋았고
아침 식사도 훌륭. 더불어 직원들의 친절한 안내도 인상적이었다. 창밖 바로 강이 흘러 창문으로 바라보는 바깥 풍경이 오래도록 기억에 남을듯
