Reviews and Ratings
The hotel exuded elegance with its opulent decor and grand common areas, although the room assigned to me did not match the website's portrayal, and the cost per night was on the higher side. The service was top-notch, impressively accommodating, and professional. The central location made exploring Salzburg a breeze, offering glimpses of iconic landmarks from the windows. The dining experience in the beautiful room with chandeliers was delightful, setting high expectations. However, the pricing was a bit disappointing in some aspects.
Stepping into this grand, old hotel feels like entering a world of elegance and luxury. The rooms are spectacular with rich, dark colors like red, spacious, and quiet. The service is friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful, making every guest feel special. The location is excellent, just beside the Mirabell Garden, and within walking distance to the old town. The dining experience offers lots of choices and fabulous delicacies. The facilities are top-notch, ensuring a truly comfortable stay with all amenities at hand.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were extremely small but impeccably renovated with good air conditioning called 'the View'. The service varied from wasting time to very helpful and friendly assistance. The location was perfect for exploring the city by foot, although the value was not as high as some competitors. The dining quality ranged from excellent to disappointing, and the facilities met my expectations.
My stay at the hotel was lovely! The rooms were spacious and clean, so much so that we decided to extend our stay for one more day. While they were very clean, they did show a bit of wear and tear. The room was incredibly comfortable, nicely decorated, and offered a lovely view of the castle and mountain.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, though not exactly as expected from the pictures, was spacious and well-equipped. The service was top-notch despite minor hiccups. The location was excellent, offering easy access to key attractions but lacking in width. Dining was a bit overwhelming due to morning rush, contrasting with the fantastic quality. Overall, a place with potential but room for improvement.
The hotel boasts beautiful rooms with chandeliers and plenty of mirrors, though on the smaller side, they are impeccable and stylish. The bathroom, while still nice, is noticeably smaller compared to cheaper double rooms. The service is exceptionally helpful and professional, making it a great choice for those who value a good price/performance ratio. The location is excellent, providing easy access to both sides of the river and comfortable walks, but some areas have a stale smell of cigarettes. The dining experience is top-notch with a wide selection of fresh food served in a lovely setting.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were perfect, combining charming decor with a high-quality level of comfort. However, they were a bit small, in a very European way. While the room was large with traditional furniture and a very comfortable sitting area, the noise from outside, like bells, drunk people from the bars, and constant traffic, was a downside even though the double windows helped to minimize it. The service was top-notch with nice, friendly staff and a great service mindset, although the meal service could be improved by serving vegetables with the main course. The location was perfect for me, offering a peaceful yet convenient stay, right around the corner from various attractions. The dining experience was generally good, but it seemed a bit chaotic in the morning due to busy tour groups needing to be fed before checking out. Unfortunately, there were no fresh juices available. Overall, a fantastic hotel with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers intimate and supremely comfortable rooms, beautifully decorated in classic baroque style. Despite the smaller bathroom size compared to cheaper rooms, the ambiance made us order nightcaps just to stay a bit longer. The professional and friendly service enhanced our experience.
The hotel had a lovely ambiance with chandeliers and plenty of mirrors in the rooms, but the twin bed setup without an underlayer created a slight discomfort. The service was top-notch, with helpful staff and a convenient location near the river and old town. The dining options were satisfying but somewhat limited. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.
