    Excellent location for exploring all of the key sights in Salzburg. Really friendly staff. Room was very clean, comfortable and quiet. Ideal base and would book again if returning to the city.

    The cost was a affordable for budget minded travellers. The location was good- close to the railway station and, once we found our way, a walkable distance to the Fortress and Old town.

    The location was ideal - close to the centre but without any of the noise or busyness. Bed was the comfiest I’ve ever slept in abroad! Spotlessly clean, staff fantastic, great value for money in Salzburg given the location for the price point.

    The staff were so helpful and friendly. The location perfect. Near the main sights to walk to, bus stop nearby if needed and cheap supermarket. The facilities were excellent for a "budget" hotel with tea and coffee station and a microwave to use.

    The hotel is only 2 years open so everything is still in a spotless condition. The location, just a bit outside the old town is great. There has clearly been put quite some budget in the design and the level of detail of the hotel, however it is lacking a bit of warmth and personality. You can park your car in the courtyard. It comes at a price but we found it very convenient.

    The place was more than I expected for ensuite family room, very clean and the bedroom had a good size. The location was convenient for the train station and 20 minutes walking from old town through the pathway next to the river (very pleasant). The couple running the place really makes the effort to have the place spotless.

    Excellent location, facilities were perfect. Bed extremely comfortable. Very clean. The two bedroom ‘apartment’ was ideal for a family of 4. The free croissant and hot drinks in the morning were a nice touch.

    The hostel was in a great location, on a quiet street halfway between the train station and the city centre. Staff were friendly and always around to answer any questions. There were lots of ladies showers, and they were kept very clean. Rooms were spacious and included a desk and a secure locker each (which locked with your room key). The bunk beds were really solidly built and comfortable (not the flimsy squeaky type you get in most cheap hostels!) Coffee, tea and juice available at reception throughout the day was a nice bonus.
