Gasthof Hotel Doktorwirt
Staying at Gasthof Hotel Doktorwirt was a delightful experience from start to finish. The warm welcome from the staff set the tone for a comfortable and memorable visit. Our room was cozy and well-appointed, featuring a great shower and a private balcony overlooking lush gardens and a peaceful outdoor pool—though we were unlucky with the weather, as it rained heavily throughout our stay, so we couldn’t make full use of the balcony. That said, I’m sure it would be a real highlight on a sunny day. Breakfast was excellent—fresh, hearty, and perfectly balanced. The hotel’s location is ideal for getting into Salzburg by bus, just a short ride away. There’s a small bar on-site, though no dinner service in the evenings. However, there are several restaurants within walking distance, and we tried one nearby (just a 5-minute walk) that served authentic local cuisine—absolutely delicious, though I can’t recall the name now. One thing to note: many places in Salzburg, including this one, operate on cash-only basis, which was common during our trip through the region, including Berchtesgaden. Overall, this place offers a genuine, homely feel with excellent value. If we ever return to Salzburg, we’d definitely choose to stay here again.
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.

The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and helpful service—always ready to offer recommendations or assist with anything we needed. The hotel’s classic luxury style gives it a timeless charm, blending elegance with authenticity. It’s also well-connected to the airport, which made our arrival and departure stress-free. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Salzburg.

The staff went above and beyond with their hospitality; they were friendly, attentive, and shared so many helpful tips about local spots and hidden gems, which made our first visit feel seamless. The hotel’s facilities are top-notch—the spa area with sauna, steam room, and indoor pool was a real treat after long days of sightseeing. Breakfast was exceptional: fresh, diverse, and packed with delicious pastries and breads that we couldn’t resist. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated. We left feeling completely refreshed and already planning our return visit. If you're looking for comfort, charm, and excellent service in the heart of Salzburg, this hotel is a must-try.
Hotel Imlauer & Bräu
Staying at Hotel Imlauer & Bräu was an absolute delight from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming—always smiling, helpful, and genuinely attentive. The hotel itself was spotless and well-maintained, giving a cozy yet elegant vibe. I chose it because of its convenient location near the train station, but what really impressed me was how compact Salzburg is—everything is within walking distance. Whether you're heading to the historic city center, visiting the castle, or just exploring local cafés and shops, you're never too far away. And the breakfast? Outstanding! Freshly baked bread, local cheeses, quality meats, and a great selection of fruits and pastries made every morning feel special. It's rare to find such a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and charm in one place. If you're planning a trip to Salzburg, this hotel should be at the top of your list.
Hotel Salzburg
What a charming independent hotel! Nestled right at Salzburg Airport, it boasts an exceptional Italian restaurant on-site—perfect for dining indoors or al fresco in the lovely patio and garden area. The food is delicious and the ambiance is warm and inviting. The staff are incredibly friendly and always eager to help. But the real stars of the stay? Bella and Rosie—the two resident dogs who greet guests with wagging tails and endless affection. They add such a special touch to the experience. Rooms are spotless, thoughtfully appointed, and supremely comfortable. It’s rare to find such a welcoming, well-run place with such a personal feel. A truly memorable stay and highly recommended.
Hotel Elefant
Stepping out of Hotel Elefant feels like entering a living piece of history. During our multi-country European tour, this charming 400-year-old inn stood out as a refreshing escape from the impersonal corporate hotels we’d encountered elsewhere. Located in the heart of Salzburg’s Old Town, it’s just steps away from Mozart’s birthplace and some of the city’s best dining spots. Everything we wanted to explore was within walking distance, and public transit or tour buses were only a block or two away—super convenient. The staff were warm and genuinely helpful, always going the extra mile. The room, while compact, was thoughtfully modernized and incredibly comfortable. Breakfast was outstanding—fresh, abundant, and delicious. The only minor quirk? The elevator felt like it might’ve once been a broom closet—small and tight—but since I prefer stairs anyway, it wasn’t an issue. Overall, this place offered the perfect balance of charm, comfort, and location. A true gem in Salzburg.
FourSide Hotel Salzburg, Trademark Collection by Wyndham
This hotel offers incredible value for money! While it's not right next to the main train station, it's just a short ride away via the tram—super convenient and quick. The room was surprisingly spacious, with a comfortable bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. Cleanliness was excellent throughout—every corner felt fresh and well-maintained. Breakfast was plentiful and varied, but keep in mind that it gets busy with tour groups early in the morning. I’d recommend arriving either a bit later or earlier to enjoy a quieter experience. Overall, this is a fantastic choice for travelers who want a peaceful stay without sacrificing convenience. Highly recommended!
Hotel Villa Carlton - Adults Only
Staying at Hotel Villa Carlton was an absolute delight from start to finish. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, always going the extra mile to make sure we felt comfortable. Located just steps away from the train station, getting around Salzburg is so easy—most attractions are within a short ride or walk. Our room was spacious and beautifully designed with a modern minimalist touch that made it feel both luxurious and calming. I especially appreciated the included breakfast—simple yet delicious, with fresh pastries and local treats that gave us a great start to the day. The only minor downside? No on-site laundry facilities, so we had to take our clothes out to wash elsewhere. But honestly, for such a peaceful, adults-only retreat in a prime location, this is a small trade-off. The overall experience was flawless, and I’d definitely return without hesitation.
Altstadthotel Weisse Taube
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. From recommendations on local restaurants to assisting with luggage, every interaction felt personal and sincere. It’s rare to find such thoughtful service in a city full of options. This hotel truly stands out—not just for its charm and comfort, but for the genuine care the team shows guests. I’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Salzburg.
Hotel Gasthof Mostwastl
Staying at Hotel Gasthof Mostwastl in Salzburg was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center and surrounded by charming local cafes and shops. My room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with a cozy, homely feel. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night’s sleep. The staff went above and beyond—they were warm, attentive, and genuinely made me feel welcome. Even helped with luggage and gave great recommendations for nearby attractions. This hotel truly delivers on comfort, service, and value. I’ll definitely be returning.
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.
