Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Saalachspitz
Hotel Alpenhof is a top recommendation near Saalachspitz, offering breathtaking alpine vistas and direct access to hiking trails just a 10-minute walk from the property. Its modern Alpine-style rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows that frame panoramic views of the Salzburg mountains, especially stunning at sunrise.
For eco-conscious travelers, Alpendorf Mountain Lodge stands out with its sustainable design using renewable materials and natural spa facilities, including an outdoor thermal pool and herbal therapy treatments. Both hotels are within a 25-minute drive from Salzburg city center, making them ideal bases for day trips to the historic old town or nearby attractions like Mozart's Birthplace and Hohensalzburg Fortress.
Traveling from Salzburg city center to Saalachspitz is straightforward. Take bus line 61 from Hauptbahnhof, which runs every 30 minutes and reaches the "Saalachspitz" stop in about 30 minutes—just €2.50 one way.
For a scenic alternative, rent an electric bike and follow the Salzach River Greenway, a well-maintained path that winds through forests and riverside meadows, taking roughly 45 minutes. During summer, SALZBURG-TOURISTIK operates dedicated shuttle buses with multiple daily departures from the city center to key alpine trailheads, including free multilingual tour guides. All options provide easy, eco-friendly access to this peaceful mountain retreat.
Saalachspitz offers exceptional outdoor experiences, especially high-altitude hiking and stargazing tours. In summer, trails like the 5-kilometer "Rosenkranz Trail" lead through wildflower meadows and ancient forests to panoramic viewpoints overlooking the entire Salzburg region.
During winter, it transforms into a family-friendly ski destination with three intermediate slopes and a modern cable car system. Evening stargazing excursions are particularly popular—due to minimal light pollution, the night sky reveals stunning Milky Way views, guided by local astronomers using telescopes.
Local farms also host immersive alpine shepherd experiences, where visitors can participate in milking cows, crafting cheese, and learning traditional mountain farming practices.

Room 4 & 5 Apartments
A perfect weekend getaway for a couple, staying in the sky lounge was an absolute delight. From the moment we arrived, everything we needed was right there—no missing essentials, no stress. We got there early and called to ask if we could check in sooner; the team was incredibly helpful and arranged it without any hassle. The apartment itself was stunning: modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed with all the comforts of home. Our only small suggestion would be upgrading the TV to a smart one for more streaming options. Also, maybe one extra towel per person for a week-long stay—because who wouldn’t want to soak in that gorgeous bathtub every single day? Location-wise, it couldn’t be better: just a short walk into the heart of Salzburg’s main town, surrounded by fantastic local restaurants. Plus, the apartment provided a detailed, well-curated guide to hidden gems nearby—truly thoughtful. We’d absolutely return and recommend this place to anyone visiting Salzburg. A top-tier experience from start to finish.
Altstadt Hotel Stadtkrug
Staying at Altstadt Hotel Stadtkrug was an absolute delight from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond—warm, welcoming, and fluent in English, making communication effortless. The room was spotless and incredibly comfortable, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. It did get a bit warm, but the oscillating tower fan worked like a charm, keeping things cool and quiet throughout the night. Breakfast was a delightful mix of traditional European staples—fresh bread, local cheeses, jam, and strong coffee—all served with a smile. Best of all? The location. Right in the heart of Salzburg’s old town, you’re steps away from cobblestone streets, historic churches, and stunning views of Hohensalzburg Castle. If you want authenticity, charm, and a true sense of place, this hotel delivers on every level. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Salzburg.
Villa Salzburg by Welcome to Salzburg
Staying at Villa Salzburg by Welcome to Salzburg was an absolute delight. The apartment is beautifully designed with thoughtful attention to detail—every element feels high-end and well-curated. The space is spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable, with a cozy yet elegant vibe. The bed was incredibly plush, making for a restful night's sleep. I loved how central it was—just a short subway ride into the heart of Salzburg, with great restaurants and attractions within walking distance. It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of comfort, style, and convenience. Highly recommend this gem for anyone visiting Salzburg!
Hotel Max 70
This hotel offers incredible value for money! Just a 10-minute tram ride from Salzburg’s central station, it might seem a bit far from the city center at first glance, but if you're not in a rush, this place is absolutely worth it. The rooms are quiet, clean, and comfortable—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The front desk staff stands out: a charming young guy and a friendly lady who went above and beyond. They patiently helped me book a day tour the next morning and even shared some great local tips. Their warm hospitality made a real difference. I left feeling welcomed and well taken care of. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Salzburg!
Apt. Stone-Lodge
Before our arrival, we received multiple emails with detailed PDFs outlining all the amenities and services offered by the property—very thorough! However, upon arrival, we ran into parking issues. The apartment is located on a pedestrian-only street, and the nearby covered parking (€44 per day!) was fully booked, as were all the paid spots along the main road (max 180 minutes, with fees). We reached out to the host, who was incredibly helpful and responsive in finding a solution. Access to the property required a code, but due to a technical glitch, we didn’t receive it until calling the host right before check-in. As described on the platform, the building sits adjacent to the mountain—so no elevator, just a narrow, steep staircase with low ceilings. Entry wasn’t easy, especially if you’re carrying luggage. The studio was small but well-equipped: kitchenware, dishes, pots, kettle, coffee machine (with complimentary pods, tea bags, and two Mozart chocolates), towels, iron and ironing board, fridge, dish soap, even salt and oil. Bathroom was tiny but clean. The window faced the quiet private street—great for peace and privacy. It’s only a 10-minute walk to the historic center, which is convenient. Overall, the charm of being tucked into the mountainside is undeniable. But honestly, the access challenges, lack of storage space, no bedside tables or shelves near the bed, and the extremely compact bathroom make it hard to justify the price point. Some things are unavoidable given the age and location—but if the value-for-money balance were better, this would be a much stronger recommendation.
Residence Mozart by Welcome to Salzburg
Perfect for a short stay in Salzburg! The apartment is spotlessly clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Located just a few minutes from the subway station, getting around the city and visiting nearby attractions was incredibly convenient. The bed was comfortable, making for a restful night's sleep, and the workspace had plenty of outlets—ideal for remote work. We loved the homely feel and the thoughtful touches throughout. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a peaceful, practical, and stylish base during your visit to Salzburg.

Perfect for a relaxing morning coffee or an evening stroll. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and soak in the moment. Excellent value, exceptional comfort, and unforgettable vibes.
Hotel Josefa
Staying at Hotel Josefa was an absolute delight—a hidden gem in Salzburg. This charming, family-run hotel offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere with spotless, comfortable rooms that feel like home. The breakfast was fresh and satisfying, but the real highlight was the coffee—rich, aromatic, and one of the best I’ve had in years. While it’s a 20-minute walk to the old town, public buses are frequent, affordable, and make getting around effortless. Plus, there are plenty of great local restaurants nearby. With its cozy vibe, excellent service, and unbeatable location for exploring the city, I’d absolutely stay here again without hesitation.
myNext - Riverside Hotel Salzburg
Our stay at myNext - Riverside Hotel Salzburg was absolutely wonderful. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk from major attractions and directly beside the river, with a peaceful walking path perfect for morning strolls. Free parking is available on weekends, and staff are happy to guide you to nearby paid lots during weekdays—very convenient. The room itself is cozy and welcoming, with a welcome drink and fresh juice waiting in the minibar. We especially loved the shared kitchen area, complete with dishes and cookware—great for preparing meals or even sharing leftovers with fellow guests. There’s also a washing machine in the basement (5€ for coins and detergent), which works perfectly fine. The backyard garden is a real highlight—lush with trees, flowers, and even some vegetables, creating a serene, almost rural vibe. The staff go above and beyond: always smiling, offering apples and candies at reception, and providing luggage storage for early check-ins. It’s clear they care about guest comfort. From start to finish, everything felt thoughtfully designed. This hotel truly delivers on every level—warm, convenient, and full of charm. We’ll definitely be back.

Staying at Altstadthotel Weisse Taube was an absolute delight. The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Salzburg, just a short walk from major attractions and public transit. My room was spotless, cozy, and well-appointed—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality; they were always smiling, eager to help, and genuinely attentive.

Wyndham Grand Salzburg Conference Centre
The hotel is incredibly convenient, just a short walk from the central train station—perfect for getting around Salzburg and nearby destinations like Lake Königssee, Hallstatt, and St. Wolfgang. The location makes day trips super easy, and I appreciated not having to navigate complicated transfers. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with a great balance of comfort and value. One small downside was the front desk staff’s English proficiency—some communication challenges arose, and it felt like they assumed we didn’t speak English, which made things a bit awkward. Their attitude could use a little improvement. Overall, though, the experience was very positive, and the excellent location more than makes up for it. I’d definitely stay here again.

Located in a charming historic building, the hotel feels authentic yet impeccably clean and well-maintained. Though it's not large, it offers everything you’d want: a delicious breakfast, elevator access, a relaxing lounge area, and even a swimming pool—definitely a pleasant surprise. The on-site restaurant serves excellent food with a local touch, making dinner a highlight of the trip. Plus, there’s a bus stop right outside, with just a 15-minute ride to the city center—perfect for exploring Salzburg without hassle. Every detail felt thoughtfully designed, from the friendly staff to the quiet, peaceful atmosphere. This is one of those rare stays that exceeds expectations. Highly recommend—would definitely return!
