"First, this was our first time to Salzburg, and we really loved the city. After the first night I was ready to rate this really low due to the fact that a remodeling project was underway right next door, and the noise was terrible. First morning we were awakened at 7:00am to a thunderous chorus of hammering and sawing, literally on the common wall that our bed was on! I later went to the hotel, which is where you check-in, and explained the unacceptable situation to the young lady at desk. I...

Recent Reviews in Salzburg

Hotel IMLAUER & Bräu

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the hotel. Everything was clean and tidy; the staff were very friendly; our room had everything we needed; the shower was particularly good; there was plenty of very nice food at breakfast. We liked very much that the hotel gives a €5 voucher for any day you don’t have your room cleaned. This could then be spent in the bar or restaurant - what a great idea! The hotel is in a good location, handy for trains and many bus lines. Our room overlooked the street which was a bit noisy with the windows open; but once they were shut we couldn’t hear anything. The extra tax that the city charges (currently 50c per person per night) to then provide a Guest Mobility ticket was fabulous. We got the train to Werfen and Zell am See; the bus to Bad Ischl and Hellbrunn Palace; and various buses and trams round the city and it cost us nothing at all with our Guest Mobility ticket. I would have no hesitation recommending this hotel to anyone planning to visit Salzburg."

arte Hotel Salzburg

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay - a family of four. The location is very close to the train station and easy to walk to the attractions. The local tourist pass offered through the hotel came in late night, which didn't work for us - we literally left the next morning. However, we were able to walk to all of the places we want to hit, so no real impact for us. The washroom, particularly the shower is literally OPEN and see-through the glasses. Didn't quite get the concept, but lectured by the staff implying we should be reading the hotel information before booking - NOT NICE. The breakfast is EUR25 (not cheap), but with the view and selections of food, we all enjoyed it."

HOTEL andrä

8/10 Good

"Absolutely lovely room in an extremely walkable location. Beware that there are some people who may be experiencing homelessness around the church across the street in the evening hours. The check in process proved to be a bit difficult as I had paid, but the system wasn’t showing that I had paid so I had to go speak with a staff member. I didn’t love that the staff members are all on the fourth floor instead of welcoming you in the lobby, but as long as you know where to find them, it isn’t too inconvenient. Overall we really enjoyed the room and our stay in Salzburg."

When is the best time to go to Salzburg?

The best time to visit Salzburg is during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller.Spring brings mild temperatures, blooming gardens, and fewer tourists compared to the peak summer months. This makes it an ideal time for couples to enjoy romantic strolls through Mirabell Gardens or explore the Old Town without feeling overwhelmed. You'll find many outdoor cafes beginning to open, offering a relaxed experience.Autumn offers crisp air, beautiful autumnal colours, and a comfortable climate for sightseeing. This period is excellent for those who appreciate cultural events, as there are often various festivals and concerts taking place. Families might find this a good time to visit, as the cooler weather is great for exploring attractions like Hohensalzburg Fortress or taking a scenic boat trip on the Salzach River without the intense summer heat.While summer (June to August) is popular for its warm weather and numerous outdoor activities, it also sees the largest crowds and highest prices, especially during the Salzburg Festival.

Where can I find the best nightlife in Salzburg?

Salzburg offers a more relaxed nightlife experience compared to larger European cities, but you'll still find several areas with options for evening entertainment.The Old Town (Altstadt) is where much of Salzburg's evening activity is concentrated. You'll find a selection of traditional Austrian pubs, wine taverns, and some more modern cocktail bars tucked away in the historic alleyways. Many establishments here cater to a slightly older crowd or those looking for a quieter drink. There are also venues for classical music concerts and opera performances, particularly during festival seasons.Outside of the Old Town, the area around Rudolfskai and Griesgasse, running along the Salzach River, has a few contemporary bars and pubs that stay open later. It's a good spot for a casual drink with views of the river and the Old Town across it.For a slightly more student-focused atmosphere, head to the area around Anton-Neumayr-Platz and the streets leading off it. You'll find a few pubs and smaller bars that tend to be a bit livelier, especially on weekends.
