Haus Wartenberg
Staying at Haus Wartenberg was an absolute highlight of our trip to Salzburg. The hotel is a beautifully preserved 400-year-old building with a spacious, uniquely styled room that feels full of character and charm. The breakfast was a true Austrian experience—homemade bread, fresh fruit, local cheeses, and rich coffee, served with a warm smile. It’s rare to find such authenticity in a modern stay, but this place nails it. The location is perfect—quiet yet just a short walk from the city center and all the main attractions. We felt like we were stepping back in time while still enjoying modern comforts. Highly recommend for travelers who appreciate history, quality, and a genuine local vibe.
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.
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.

Located right in the heart of Salzburg, yet surprisingly peaceful and surrounded by nature—such a perfect balance between city convenience and serene retreat. The welcome was incredibly warm and personal, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Our room was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and full of charm. And the breakfast? Absolutely outstanding—fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully presented. Every detail felt cared for. If you're looking for a memorable stay with that special touch, this is it. Highly recommend! It's more than just a place to sleep—it's an experience.

Stadtalm Naturfreundehaus
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.
Gasthof Wastlwirt
We've dined at Gasthof Wastlwirt multiple times, and honestly, it's hard to imagine finding better Austrian cuisine elsewhere. My top picks? The frittata soup and the chicken Cordon Bleu—both absolutely delicious, rich in flavor, and perfectly prepared. The outdoor garden area has such authentic Austrian charm, with a cozy, rustic atmosphere that makes dining here feel like a true local experience. Plus, the value for money is outstanding—generous portions, great quality, and reasonable prices. It’s rare to find such excellence in both food and ambiance. I’ll definitely be back on my next visit to Salzburg.
Haus Kernstock
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.
Snooze Hotel
Staying at Snooze Hotel in Salzburg was an absolute delight. The hotel stands out with its modern, artistic design—truly unique in the city. I've visited a few times now, and every time the room is spotless, well-maintained, and welcoming. The breakfast buffet is excellent: generous, fresh, and varied—though it’s a bit of a bummer there’s no smoked salmon. Still, everything else is top-notch. What really makes it special is the convenient location—just a short ride on Line 1 to the city center, and even quicker for those heading to the Red Bull Arena. Whether you're here for business, sightseeing, or just a relaxing break, this hotel delivers comfort, style, and great value. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Salzburg.
Muffin Hostel
This was an absolutely fantastic stay! We arrived just the first week of summer opening and were greeted with lemonade and cupcakes upon check-in—such a thoughtful touch. The hostel is incredibly clean, staff are friendly and helpful, and there's a lovely patio area perfect for enjoying meals outdoors. Free coffee is available throughout the day—great for early risers like us. We took a taxi from the train station (for four people) for only €16—very reasonable. The location is ideal: less than a 5-minute walk to the huge outdoor pool Freibad Leopoldskron, and about 15 minutes on foot to the historic Altstadt. The neighborhood is shady and peaceful, making it perfect for a morning jog through the park—even though it’s hilly, the scenery makes it worth it. Everything about this place feels fresh and well-organized, especially considering it’s just opened. A real hidden gem in Salzburg with unbeatable value. I’d definitely come back.
YoHo - International Youth Hostel
Staying at YoHo International Youth Hostel in Salzburg was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help with recommendations or local tips—truly a highlight of the trip. Free coffee and tea in the common area made mornings so much more enjoyable, and the breakfast for just €8 was surprisingly good and filling. I especially appreciated the secure luggage storage in the basement with lockable cubbies—perfect for travelers with multiple bags. While our room didn’t have a TV, it actually worked out well after a full day of sightseeing; we were too tired to want one anyway! The atmosphere was warm, clean, and welcoming, making it feel like home away from home. If you're looking for a budget-friendly, well-run hostel with great vibes and a central location, this is definitely the place to stay.
