Pros:

10 minutes walk to train station. Only 2 blocks away from river so recommend heading to river first to walk alone the river to old town. Very friendly staff. Nice to have a table and bench in the room.

Cons:

The hotel uses the old school metal key for the room and recommends leaving the key with front desk when going out. However, the night shift staff didn't verify our ID when we return and ask for the key. It does not sound safe if someone heard our room number.

Wir waren eigentlich enttäuscht. Wir waren als Eishockeyteam unterwegs
Pros:

Frühstück war gut - die weichen Eier waren jedoch HART. Das Zimmer war extrem klein und die Lage des Hotels war gut.

Cons:

Erstens war bei der Buchung nicht erkennbar, dass das Frühstück nicht inkludiert ist. Der Preis dafür mit € 17,00 ist meiner Meinung nach viel zu hoch. Ausserdem ist es nicht nachvollziehbar, dass Kinder auch den gleichen Preis zahlen müssen.

Completely uncontactable staff and filthy
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Staff are completely unresponsive by email or by messages through booking.com. I asked for the Salzburg guest mobility ticket to be sent to me on the day of arrival, but there was no response at all. A call to reception led to a staff member saying he didn’t know how to send the tickets, and we would have to wait until 7pm (which would obviously have been too late). To this day there has been no response to my emails.

One of the towels provided had red stains on it - obviously filthy.

I don’t normally take the time to write a review but the service has been so poor that I feel compelled to advise other travellers to find another hotel that is of similar price but will deliver much better service and quality. I have a feeling most guests who stay here are forced to as part of their tour package.

Kíváló szálloda, közel a pályaudvarhoz, sétatávolságra a nevezetességektől.
Pros:

Nyugodt környék, közel a főpályaudvarhoz, a szoba és a fürdőszoba rendkívül tiszta. Kiváló reggeli.

Cons:

Kicsit áthallatszott a szomszéd szobából a zaj.

Il centro storico invivibile con musica rock - metallica assordante e troppa gente in giro!
Pros:

Si trova in una zona tranquilla vicino alla stazione e castello di Mirabell.
Buon cappuccino con brioches, varie torte e la possibilità di fare colazione nel piccolo giardino dell'hotel.
La stanza luminosa con tre finestre, tende rosa antico abbinabili ai due divanetti dello stesso colore in mezzo il piccolo tavolo.
Comodo il letto e guanciale morbido.
Personale cordiale e soprattutto conoscono l'italiano!

Cons:

Impossibile fotografare la piazza e Duomo in conseguenza dell' impalcatura con sedie, palcoscenico e soprattutto numerosi stand per mangiare che rovina il paesaggio della bellezza di questa città ed oltretutto è famosa perchè vissero e si esibirono W. A. e L. Mozart.
Inoltre, l'ho trovata cambiata rispetto a trent'anni fa; quando era tranquilla e non tutta questa ressa di gente da rendere il centro con il turismo diventato sproporzionato ed oltretutto musica assordante tutto il giorno - notte da far venire mal di testa. Una vergogna!!!

Salzburg Trip
Pros:

Central but in a residential area. Close to main bus and train stations. Comfortable, well appointed room

Cons:

Had sent pre-arrival forms for both of us, somehow they had no records, hence took time to fill it in and delayed check in.

Helpful friendly owners. Great Location.
Pros:

We had four double rooms, three with single occupancy, so no issues with space. Scrupulously clean throughout. very good breakfast and a nice little bar off reception for residents which the friendly owners encouraged us to use. Lovely surprise that the hotel was so convenient for the station yet in a very pleasant quiet neighbourhood, and within a very short walk of a riverside path which took you easily to both sides of the town with views all the way - perfect.

Cons:

Pity that coaches were parked right outside the ground floor frontage as that meant the view from the one first floor bedroom was largely of a coach roof and the noise of an early start by the coach was unwelcome The other rooms were not affected.
