"Location was perfect for me. 7 minutes walk from the train station, and maybe 15-20 minutes walk to the old town /altstadt/ very historic center., This hotel is very clean. Very safe and very light in the corridors. Wi-Fi was fast and non-problematic. Ac was wonderful and keep the right temperature. My room was the cheapest one and it was for one person overlooking railroad tracks. And the sound insulation is just amazing. I would highly recommend it. They certainly tried to upsell breakfast for €25 per person, but it's up to you. The restaurant itself at the hotel is very nice and for dinner and the prices are quite average for Salzburg. I would highly recommend stay here"

The views are just incredible, we booked a panoramic room and it was definitely worth it. The pools are lovely and the restaurants excellent. The breakfast has everything you could possibly want! Everything is excellent quality and is a lot more reasonably priced than a five star in the UK."

"Very good location just a four to five minute walk from the main train station. Helpful reception staff. Rooms were a good size and the bathroom was good as well. The climate control worked well and the curtains blocked out a good amount of light which made for a comfortable nights sleep. The TV was a great size and had Netflix and YouTube which was very handy if you’re travelling with kids The negatives were that the room was only cleaned after three days and that’s too long for a family of five staying in a single rooms. There was no cutlery in the room, and this biggest drawbacks was that there was no fridge. It was inconvenient going down to reception to store and retrieve your items. There was a utility room in the basement but it only had a microwave and no toaster or other facilities. If they add maybe a microwave and fridge to the rooms, that would push its rating even higher. All in all though, a nice place to stay and not much to complain about"

Only real criticism but this may be down to Expedia the room was supposed to have a city view but our room looked out towards the edge of town/airport direction. Also I had to ask for our gold member free drink voucher, otherwise it wasn’t offered. But on the whole a very nice stay"
