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.

Staying at the Sheraton Grand Salzburg was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is perfect—just a short 10-minute walk to the Old Town, and right behind the hotel lies the beautiful Mirabell Gardens, offering a peaceful retreat with stunning views. The front desk staff went above and beyond with their warm, attentive service—friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. I even received a complimentary room upgrade and a small welcome gift, which made the experience feel extra special. The room itself was spacious, impeccably clean, and incredibly comfortable, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The bathroom was spotless, well-equipped, and very modern. Everything about this stay felt luxurious yet welcoming. With such excellent value and top-tier hospitality, I’ll definitely be returning. A truly memorable stay in Salzburg.

Staying at Hotel Gasthof Brandstätter was an absolute delight! The room was cozy and warm, with a breathtaking view of distant snow-capped mountains—truly magical. 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!

Staying at Hapimag Resort Salzburg was an absolute delight, especially with kids in tow. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk from the bustling old town, with plenty of cozy cafes and casual eateries nearby, so we didn’t even need to book breakfast. What really stood out was the complimentary room upgrade we received—spacious, clean, and well-equipped with a full kitchen, which made cooking dinner (yes, we grilled steaks right in the room!) a fun family activity. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere struck the perfect balance between comfort and convenience. It’s rare to find such a great mix of location, value, and hospitality—this place feels like a true home away from home.

This hotel is pure magic from the moment you arrive. The view of the Alps framed by the historic castle architecture feels like stepping straight into a scene from *The Sound of Music*. Every corner is picture-perfect—my photos turned out better than I ever imagined. The breakfast was exceptional: fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented—worth waking up early for. It’s not just a stay; it’s an experience that lives in your memory long after you leave. If you’re visiting Salzburg, this is the place to make your trip unforgettable.

Staying at B&B Villa Verde was an absolute delight from start to finish. Nestled just outside Salzburg, the villa offers a perfect balance of tranquility and convenience—easy access to the city center by public transport, yet peaceful enough to truly unwind. The room was cozy, tastefully decorated, and incredibly comfortable, with a bed that made falling asleep effortless. What truly stood out, though, was the host—warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. They offered thoughtful recommendations for local spots and even went the extra mile to assist with directions and schedules. Breakfast was homemade, fresh, and delicious—such a lovely way to start the day. It’s rare to find a place that combines comfort, hospitality, and charm so seamlessly.

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.

The location is perfect—just a short walk from the train station, and everything you need is within easy reach. The hotel is well-equipped and offers a comfortable stay with great convenience. I’d definitely recommend it for travelers looking for a hassle-free experience in Salzburg.

Staying at Hotel Modus was an absolute highlight during my visit to Salzburg. Just a 5-minute walk from the historic city center, it’s incredibly convenient for exploring the area on foot. The staff were exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable—always ready to help with recommendations or local tips. The on-site parking is a game-changer: located right next to the hotel, it’s perfect for travelers driving in, especially since street parking in Salzburg can be nearly impossible. At €10 per day (excluding taxes), it’s surprisingly affordable considering the hassle of finding a spot elsewhere. The room is compact but well-designed, offering all the essentials for a comfortable 2-3 night stay. It was spotless, and I appreciated the small lounge area with a variety of snacks and coffee options—ideal for a morning pick-me-up or evening relax. Overall, the experience was excellent, and I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Salzburg.

Absolutely stunning location, perched above the city with panoramic views that take your breath away! The hike up from downtown on hot days is definitely not for the faint-hearted—bring plenty of water and wear light clothing. But every step is worth it once you reach this peaceful mountain retreat. The food here is excellent—fresh, flavorful, and served at very reasonable prices. The staff are warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home. One small tip: don’t forget to bring your own towel for the shower—there’s no towel service provided. Still, the experience is unforgettable, especially when you’re surrounded by nature and peace.

The hostess, a truly lovely lady, made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. She even shared her homemade jam for breakfast—rich in flavor and so fresh, it was a highlight of our stay. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and warmly cozy, with a perfect blend of comfort and charm. While it's a bit outside the city center, the view from the windows is absolutely breathtaking—mountains and forest stretching into the distance. It’s definitely worth the short drive. Plus, free parking was a big plus for us as we traveled by car. This place feels like a hidden gem, and we’d happily return without hesitation.

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.

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.
