Gorgeous setting a must for Sound of Music fans
Pros:

The setting was beautiful

Cons:

Unfortunately we had a power cut and left in the dark literally, in our room
Some emergency lighting would have been necessary,
There was no communication from reception as to the issue so my husband went to reception to find out
This was a one off event but the hotel should have an emergency plan in place for power cuts in the city

Beautiful "Sound of Music"-castle
Pros:

The castle is in a beautiful place by the water. Don't forget to walk or bike around the lake. The annex, where the hotel rooms are, is quiet and peaceful. The breakfast is abundant and served in the castle. Sit on the large balcony if possible - the view of Untersberg is stunning. If you are a fan of "Sound of Music" - this is the place to be. Many scenes were filmed in the garden by the water (but no filming inside).

Cons:

Before you arrive, check if there is a wedding or other event booked. If so, you might not be allowed to visit the main garden, only the small garden outside the annex.

One of the stand out experiences of my travels , the history and story of the building used in the Sound of Music was de
Pros:

Beautifully preserved and maintained . Superb location . Staff extremely friendly and helpful at all times.

Cons:

Loved the property but if I had to make a comment : short walk to breakfast in the rain to the palace however umbrellas were provided to help . I would have liked to see more tea bags and milk provided in the room.

Quite cool and cozy, missing the breakfast, will definitely visit again.
Pros:

This is a classic old palace with very spacious rooms, and the overall atmosphere is really comfortable. Even though it was quite hot outside, they have air con newly assembled, the room stayed at a pleasant temperature.

Having breakfast in the balcony was one of the highlights. The garden is beautiful, the food was even better. They have fresh juice, good variety of food and best service.

Cons:

The location is a bit away from the city, but it’s good for driving here, and there is bus to the city easily. Be aware of the bus schedule, sometimes some of them may change.

Beautiful palace and lakeside location - if you don’t mind the limited services and basic rooms (annex)
Pros:

The main palace, the outdoor views by the lake. Most of staff were helpful and polite yet a bit rigid.

Cons:

The rooms in the Annex building were very basic - no room service, only one terrace with limited snack and drinks menu. Moreover the terrace gets booked for receptions and gathering which makes it unusable for hotels guests during these functions! Service in this terraces is restricted, if you sit few meters away waiters won’t serve you!

Basic hotel rooms but access to the beautiful palace
Pros:

The location was very good, the beautiful palace nearby was the whole attraction. Breakfast in the ballroom was definitely a highlight. The possibility of renting bicycles for a ride around the lake was also nice.

Cons:

The room was very small and basic with very small window. The bathroom is tiny and the airconditioning is very loud. We had to close it in order to be able to sleep. In the rooms in the palace there was no AC at all. The negative is also that they're weddings there and this restricts the hotel's guests access to the grounds.

Pros:

One of our favorite stays during our trip. This hotel is stunning in every way. It's outside of the city center area, but there is a bus stop right outside the gate. Being on the lake was such a beautiful and relaxing break from many of the other city center hotels we stayed in while traveling. The staff was friendly and extremely accommodating. The room was large and very comfortable. The breakfast, I have no words. I've never seen so much variety at a breakfast buffet. This accommodation was at our higher price point, but worth every penny.
