Hôtels Preferred à Salzbourg

I booked this hotel online after lot of research and went by the brand of ”Best Western”, whose properties I have stayed around the world in the past. However, I would say the experience was much below expectations. Pros 1. Very close to Salzburg train station. It is about 2kms from the station 2. Bus stops are right opposite of hotel so ease of public transport 3. Walking distance to Mirabell Palace and Mozartplatz (main tourist attractions) 4. Several Indian restaurants within walking distance from hotel. 5. I was given a large room so it was good from family point of view 6. Room, bathroom was clean, nice bed, clean bed linen and towels etc 7. Staff at FD was efficient and solved most of our issues quickly. Cons 1. When we checked into room, we noticed that not even electric kettle, tea, coffee was provided in the room. It was provided only after brought into the notice of the front desk. 2. Intercom in the room was not working, so every time you have to go to the FD to inform 3. The room has a very small window at shoulder level, which was quite odd. 4. Salzberg was quite warm during our stay and AC was not working in the room. 5. Breakfast spread was small considering this was a 4 star hotel. 6. The bathroom has peculiar design & it was quite awkward for our Indian sensibilities, that shower enclosure was in glass open to view from all sides from the room. Such arrangement is not suitable if you have older children staying in the same room. We had our 10y old with us and we had to finish our shower before she would wake up. I would rather avoid this hotel in future!!

Cette auberge de jeunesse peut convenir pour un court passage mais plusieurs nuits d'affilée moyennement. Les chambres sont minuscules, et on tente de les remplir au maximum donc pour la promiscuité, on repassera. L'hôtel est quand même assez loin du centre mais ça passe. Point positif, les chambres sont désinfectées et propres. L'espace commun est également assez grand.

Bel hôtel, grande chambre propre, Personnel sympathique, Dans le Bar on mange bien, belle portion, avec des produits de qualités et un prix raisonable.Le petit déjeuner est copieux et le café très bon. Nous retournerons sans hésiter. L'hôtel est à cinq minutes de la gare et à vingt minutes à pied de la vieille ville.

Très bien situé, juste à côté de la gare de Salzburg Hbf, juste en face du bus 150 pour Hallstatt. Hôtel propre mais pas de réfrigérateur (lait gâté bcs de cela). Chocolat Mozart et eau minérale gratuits le premier jour uniquement. Le personnel amical a offert un parapluie quand il pleuvait. Il y a un petit centre commercial à côté de l'hôtel avec des produits d'épicerie, McD. Certains magasins comme H&M, Newyoker, etc. Super endroit où séjourner, fortement recommandé.

La location de l'hôtel est à peu près, mais vous pouvez toujours descendre vers la rivière en 15 minutes. Je n'ai pas aimé la décoration de la chambre. Il était trop sombre. La chambre d'hôtel était petite. La salle de bain n'avait qu'un type de gel. L'hôtel est bon pour un séjour d'un jour.

I stayed here in April 23 for 3 nights. Good: 1. Hotel (Or medium/high range hostel) location: Very near the Salzsburg HBF if you wish to have one near the HBF. There are other hotels around there with same distance to HBF also. 2. Cleanliness: Hotel room and internal area cleanliness is good. 3. Hotel staff: Generally friendly upfront.... Not so good/Bad: 1. Room amenities: No kettle and cups in room or coffee/tea. To get hot water only, you need to go down to the hotel recept/dining area to get (bring your own coffee/tea). The hotel staff say this is for ECO reason..... 2. Water refilling at the recept/dining area: Signs were around that you could go to the recept/dining room to refill your own bottle for water. I did this during my 3 nights stay BUT was constantly reminded that i could just drink off the tap water and that the tap water and water from their bar counter machine is the same. The staff were very free at all times when i asked for the refill of water. When i told them the water from the tap is not cold, the staff just said, ”oh, you just turn the tap to the right most cold part and let the water run for TWO minutes and it will be cold”. I scratched my head, is that ECO? To leave drinkable water running for 2 minutes every time you want some cold water. Imagine the all the guests in the room was doing that every time they want a cup/bottle of cold water....what a waste and certainly i feel is not ECO at all. This does not augur well for their no kettle = ECO statement. And, why have the signs of refilling the water at the front desk in the lifts, on the check in card when the staff were seemingly reluctant to do so or find reasons not to do so?! 3. Housekeeping: Only if you ask for it. Else no housekeeping. 4. Room: Mine was a double room for single use and the size of the room was very small. ZERO space to lay out your luggage whatever size it may be. One can choose to open up the luggage on the floor but that will mean not have space to walk around freely. The hanging chair in the room was hardly of any use and takes up much space. 5. Bedroom to shower room: There is NO door dividing the two. Only a layer of curtain. So, unless you are very familiar and do not mind, this is a big problem. Good thing i was alone. 6. NOISE: There is zero sound proofing of the windows to the street noise. So, you can easily hear loud traffic noise of buses, motorcycles ramming, people yelling along the streets etc. Very noisy. Very obviously, the room to room sound proofing was zero too. On one night, i had to knock on the neighbour to lower their TV volume. Glad they were kind enough to do so. Even though i could hear them chit chatting. 7. Umbrella Deposit: As it was rainy, i requested the front desk for an umbrella. They in turn said they want a deposit !!! Gosh, first time i know of a hotel doing so...deposit for the pretty filmsy umbrella..... 8. Pillows: Find them uncomfortable. Choose between the very small one or the large one.

Un bon hôtel dans l'ensemble. L'accueil plutôt sympa (en fonction du personnel) et les locaux et la chambre très propres. La cuisine est un peu glauque et ça manque de matériel mais cela n'est pas trop dérangeant pour quelques nuits. Plutôt bien situé, près de la gare. En revanche il faisait très très chaud dans la chambre. Nous avons essayé de baisser le thermostat mais sans succès. La deuxième nuit nous avons laissé la fenêtre entre-ouverte toute la nuit malgré les -5°C dehors.

Thanks to fellow reviewers who steered us to this delightful hotel located two blocks from Mirabel Palace (site of the evening Mozart concerts) and in easy walking distance of the old city across the river. Fans of the original Kimpton hotels (pre-IHG takeover) will appreciate the modern cool vibe. Rooms are attractive, quiet and well-appointed with comfortable furnishings. The front desk staff is amiable and professional. Apparently, like many establishments, Covid reduced the former full breakfast buffet to Continental style but croissants are accompanied by fresh fruit and a lovely assortment of fresh preserves. We would absolutely return to this property and will enthusiastically recommend it to friends.

The hotel is very conveniently located just by Salzburg station. Bus r 2 connects it to the airport. Good area with restaurants and shops very close. 15/20 minutes walk to all the main attractions. The hotel was nice and clean. The staff nice and helpful. The common areas of the hotel are modern and clean. There's a room for the luggage if you need to keep it before checking in or after checking out. The rooms were spacious and clean. So is the bathroom. The breakfast was very good, the breakfast room has a lovely view of the city. The only complain we have is that the room was very hot and the shower head bracket didn't work.
