    It was very expensive but we understand that we were there at the height of festival season. It’s a beautiful boutique hotel.

    The location and service were exceptional. We also enjoyed a delicious breakfast.

    This hotel is all about Austrian Hospitality. Right in the centre of the Altstadt.. once there.. we could walk everywhere.. see everything. Really friendly staff... compliments to them!

    The slippers should be of higher quality

    Best location possible in old town and there is a shortcut to the nearest public garage A through the museum nearby. Breakfast is good, and our maisonette apartment is spacey and comfortable, art design without being too strange. Receptionist are passionate and polite, nothing to complain

    Air conditioning very noisy. Too many stairs: like a rabbit warren. Disappointed that restaurant and bar closed on Sunday in the middle of tourist season and on a long weekend!

    Quirky decor In the very centre of Salzburg: close to everything

    It should be possible to fit another bed in such a big space. 1 of us had to sleep on the sofa. There’s also not enough comfortable seating in the room downstairs. Overall it’s a great space however hasn’t been designed with practical features in mind.

    Very spacious and lovely location. Great shower and bathtub.

    Very low ceilings in bathroom/shower - its an old building but I'm not very tall. Dated T.V. in room.

    Very stylish and comfortable room. Excellent breakfast. Great sound proofing in the room - very quiet despite being on a very busy street. Comfortable bed and good bathroom.

    The room didn’t have a minibar or fridge inside- this was not great as we couldn’t buy any snacks and keep them in the fridge. The staff member checking us in was a bit rude making us wait a long time before coming out of the back area to check us in

    Amazing location right on the main shopping street. We had a lovely room which felt recently updated and modern. Everything was immaculately clean. Quirky interesting hotel with lots of interesting art throughout

    The only thing is that, although the parking is located across the hotel, it’s a gigantic town municipal parking building that has multiple entrances and exits. If you have a problem walking and in need of a parking lot, this wouldn’t be ideal for you.

    What a lovely hotel that’s clean and with kind staff! I highly recommend. It was perfectly located and was close enough to all the attractions within 15-25 minutes (walk). The breakfast was amazing and it was a great combination of a la cate and a beautiful buffet. The facility is extremely clean and well-designed.

    We had drinks and food at the restaurant in the evening of our stay. They didn't have good service at all. Sort of like they didn't want to be troubled

    The staff in the lobby was excellent, very polite and service minded. The room was beautiful and the hotel very unique. Great location.

    The only negative that we can mention is that the cleaner was cleaning the room, but she was not replacing the toilet paper and the tissues, and she was not replacing also the used glasses in the room.

    The service was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Very clean and comfortable hotel. Big rooms and very well heated. Excellent location.

    The room was very hot at night, despite turning off the radiators. The air con wasn’t sufficient, not much more than a fan and the duvets on the beds were thick. I ended up sleeping with the duvet cover only.

    Beautifully designed hotel. Central location. There is a lively bar and exclusive (read expensive) restaurant, but the food and service is excellent. The street is busy during the day but surprisingly quiet at night.
