“From my perspective, this family-run hotel, with its roots stretching back to 1878, stands out thanks to its commitment to sustainability. I think the 24/7 free drinks corner adds a touch of unexpected hospitality for a 3-star property. Located right by the pedestrian zone near Linzer Gasse, it's a prime spot for exploring Salzburg.”

cozy Getaway Experience

great qualityfree coffeeconvenient locationmissing air conditioning
The breakfast had a great quality. There was free tea and coffee available all day. The staff were helpful and modern. I appreciated the cleanliness and the hotel being close to main attractions. The location allowed exploration by foot. The shower was also great and super clean clean. I liked they had a free tea and water station.
My room lacked air conditioning as advertised, the thermostat remained at 21C always, i never felt it turn on, a disappointment.

The hotel has a reasonably central location. It is within walking distance from most attractions. I found a coffee and tea station on the ground floor, and it was open at most hours (I was grateful for that!).

Clean and Convenient

enormous choicetwo-person bedloud air conditioner
the breakfast had an enormous choice of food.. i could eat a sweet breakfast or an egg-bacon breakfast. i also got an upgrade, so i was happy to have a two-person bed instead of a one-person bed. the hot chocolate from the coffee machine was very pleasant.
the air conditioner intermittently rattled loudly, even when i put it on fan. it was so loud and terrible, and it was really difficult to sleep. the showers also would intermittently go very hot then very cold.

The location was very convenient. It was easy to get to shops and restaurants. The breakfast buffet included vegan options like hummus and lentil spread. Porridge was also available, which I found satisfying.
The room lacked soundproofing. I could hear people walking in the corridor. The bed had two small mattresses instead of one big one. there was no fridge in the room, a significant inconvenience during the summer months.
