Hotel St. Virgil Salzburg

This hotel is an absolute gem! Finding a single room under €100 in Austria these days is nearly impossible, so getting one here at this price is truly impressive. The room may be small, but it has everything you need for a business trip: a shower with a hairdryer and shampoo, free Wi-Fi, TV, air conditioning, and even a little balcony. For just one night to attend a seminar or meeting, that’s more than enough. It's perfectly designed for efficiency and comfort without the frills—exactly what a smart traveler wants. Plus, it's located just steps away from public transit, making downtown Salzburg easy to reach. A fantastic value and highly recommended.

The Little Guesthouse

Staying at The Little Guesthouse in Salzburg was an absolute delight. It feels like a warm, welcoming home away from home—perfectly located just steps away from the historic old town, yet tucked into a quiet, peaceful corner of the city. The room was cozy and thoughtfully decorated, with a comfortable bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. Cleanliness stood out immediately—the space felt spotless and well-maintained down to the smallest detail. Breakfast was simple but delicious: fresh bread, local jams, and strong coffee to kickstart the day. And the best part? Free parking—huge relief for travelers driving in. This place offers incredible value and charm, making it my top pick in Salzburg. I’d happily return again and recommend it to anyone looking for a genuine, stress-free stay.

Villa Trapp

If you're a fan of The Sound of Music like me, visiting Villa Trapp is an absolute must. While the house doesn’t look exactly like the movie version, that’s actually part of its charm—it’s real history, not a set. Walking through the rooms, learning about the von Trapp family’s incredible escape story (yes, they took a train!) gives such a personal and emotional connection to the legacy. The villa itself has a classic European elegance with cozy, well-preserved interiors that feel both timeless and warm. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but honestly, for one night, it’s totally worth it. A unique, authentic experience that goes beyond just a hotel stay—more like stepping into a living piece of history.

Buona Vita

Upon arrival at Buona Vita in Salzburg, we were warmly greeted by concierge Rafael. We mentioned it was our wedding anniversary and that we specifically chose this hotel to celebrate such a special occasion. He kindly promised us a little surprise—a thoughtful gesture that made us feel truly valued. Over the next few days, every time we saw him, he would mention it again, reinforcing our anticipation. Unfortunately, by the time we checked out, no surprise had been delivered. While the hotel isn’t legally obligated to follow through on promises not formally agreed upon, it’s still disappointing when expectations are raised and then left unmet. That said, the restaurant Brulee Bristô absolutely lived up to the hype—excellent ambiance, great service, and they even surprised us with a heartfelt celebration for our anniversary, which brought a real smile to our faces. As part of the Gramado Parks collection, we expected a more consistent level of personalized attention. It’s a shame that such a small oversight could overshadow an otherwise lovely stay. Hopefully, future guests will benefit from stronger follow-through on these kinds of promises.

Hotel Schöne Aussicht

Staying at Hotel Schöne Aussicht was an absolute delight! Nestled on a hillside with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, every morning felt like waking up in a postcard. The hotel has that authentic old-world European charm—warm, cozy, and full of character. Despite its age, it’s impeccably clean and well-maintained, which is always a big plus. The breakfast was fantastic—fresh, hearty, and made with local ingredients. We arrived in October, and the weather was perfect: crisp air, golden leaves, and not too crowded. Walking up the hill with our luggage wasn’t as daunting as we expected—especially if you're fit and active. My friend and I managed just fine pushing our suitcases, though having a shuttle option would be even more convenient for those who prefer less effort. Overall, the location, comfort, and atmosphere make this place truly special. A wonderful choice for anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic retreat with genuine hospitality.

Dorint City-Hotel Salzburg

This hotel is a fantastic choice if you're looking for something modern, clean, and well-priced. The location isn't right in the heart of Old Town—about a 15-minute walk—but it's very convenient with good public transport access. The rooms are on the smaller side, but honestly, that didn’t bother me at all since we were out exploring most of the day. I just needed a cozy place to rest at night, and this hotel delivered perfectly. It’s not perfect in every aspect, but for the price and quality, it’s absolutely worth it. Great value, great vibe, and highly recommended.
