Hotel berhampiran Schloss Herrnau, Salzburg

I booked this hotel online after lot of research and went by the brand of ”Best Western”, whose properties I have stayed around the world in the past. However, I would say the experience was much below expectations. Pros 1. Very close to Salzburg train station. It is about 2kms from the station 2. Bus stops are right opposite of hotel so ease of public transport 3. Walking distance to Mirabell Palace and Mozartplatz (main tourist attractions) 4. Several Indian restaurants within walking distance from hotel. 5. I was given a large room so it was good from family point of view 6. Room, bathroom was clean, nice bed, clean bed linen and towels etc 7. Staff at FD was efficient and solved most of our issues quickly. Cons 1. When we checked into room, we noticed that not even electric kettle, tea, coffee was provided in the room. It was provided only after brought into the notice of the front desk. 2. Intercom in the room was not working, so every time you have to go to the FD to inform 3. The room has a very small window at shoulder level, which was quite odd. 4. Salzberg was quite warm during our stay and AC was not working in the room. 5. Breakfast spread was small considering this was a 4 star hotel. 6. The bathroom has peculiar design & it was quite awkward for our Indian sensibilities, that shower enclosure was in glass open to view from all sides from the room. Such arrangement is not suitable if you have older children staying in the same room. We had our 10y old with us and we had to finish our shower before she would wake up. I would rather avoid this hotel in future!!

Hotel is 15-20 minutes walk from train station. Room size is acceptable. Breakfast variety is also average. Can order omelette and pancakes. Good selection of tea. Was there during Easter holidays so carrot cake was available for 2 days .

My husband and I were just passing through the area, and needed somewhere to stay the night after a long drive south from Holland. The Schlosswirt is just off the motorway, with convenient parking. Our double room was an absolute picture, combining antique furniture with modern technology and other fittings designed to provide comfort. Another highlight was our evening meal (including a memorable Tafelspitz and great Austrian wines). Charming breakfast too. Very friendly staff throughout the establishment, and the whole bill good value for money. Convenient situation for a walk in the village and the surrounding countryside (we saw traces of beavers, plus Karajan's grave!). Sadly we had to move on after one night, but we would love to come and stay again. Thank you, Schlosswirt and Schlosswirtin!

Cocoon Salzburg - 10-13 July 2022 done both not all pix only the room This hotel is almost right across from the train station, on a corner, very easy to find - white 7 story building with a big butterfly outline on the glass doors. Inside the lobby is part of the bar and breakfast room. Checkin is super friendly. Room is small but wins the cuteness prize. Carpeting and walls in hallway all green with small leafy patterns like in a jungle. Bed is firm and very comfy, bedding is an interesting weave feeling like soft cotton paper, and 4 big fluffy pillows. No amenities in room such as phone, electric kettle or coffee makers, or even a small fridge. Has safe however. The hanging rattan chair is cute but takes up some room. Day couch by the window, no tables, night stands or desk - or chair for that matter (no room anyway). The most minimal amount of furniture, the idea I guess is all about lounging around so you don't ever need to sit up anywhere. Not much surface to layout stuff just a sort of narrow shelving on the wall next to the TV. Bathroom also tiny but everything is new and modern and the rain shower is the best ever. Takes a bit of maneuvering to get our two large suitcases settled. We are on the 6th floor so have a bit of view of mountains over the top of a building across the street. Windows have electrically controlled shutters outside (push button inside). You get a nice bar of chocolate and 5 euros for opting out housekeeping (although they said something about not continuing this practice). Floor uncarpeted. Aircon good. Wifi seems pretty fast. Nightlight under the bed is motion sensitive, so it comes on whenever you are moving around the room. Breakfast is good with scrambled and pre shaped fried eggs, sausage and bacon-like ham. Good selection of pastries and croissants and breads. Half dozen different kinds of tea all loose so need to scoop into a teabag in order to steep which is interesting and pretty fancy. Selection of cold meats as well and cheese. Tomato, cucumber and fruit. They don't check to see if you have breakfast included which is strange because it's extra charge for breakfast so not automatically included in all rooms. Overall a pretty good breakfast and food gets replenished pretty quickly. Seating tends to run out at peak time and people will ask to share your table if there is room.

The hotel is very conveniently located just by Salzburg station. Bus r 2 connects it to the airport. Good area with restaurants and shops very close. 15/20 minutes walk to all the main attractions. The hotel was nice and clean. The staff nice and helpful. The common areas of the hotel are modern and clean. There's a room for the luggage if you need to keep it before checking in or after checking out. The rooms were spacious and clean. So is the bathroom. The breakfast was very good, the breakfast room has a lovely view of the city. The only complain we have is that the room was very hot and the shower head bracket didn't work.

We only stayed here for one night on our way to St. Wolfgang and Hallstatt. We picked this place because it's super close to both the train and bus stations, plus the price was really reasonable. When we checked in later in the evening, we met this friendly receptionist from Germany, but we didn't catch his name. The room was spotless, with a nice clean bathroom, air conditioning, and a kettle. The only downside was no fridge in the room, but they said we could use the one at the front desk if we needed. Breakfast on the 6th floor was awesome with great views of the mountains. Overall, this hotel was perfect for our quick stay, and we'd definitely choose it again next time we're in Salzburg.

Advertised as a 19th century building with rustic rooms and close to transportation links and only a short walk to Salzburg old town caught our eye. Our room, 31, on the third floor at the back of the property was basic and tired in need of modernisation. Still had the old worming toilet in the bathroom which I find unpleasant to say the least. Room was very warm even with the window open. A pedestal fan is supplied which helps and a fridge to keep those drinks cold. WiFi was ok but could only find 1 English speaking TV channel (Bloomberg) which was quite boring. Room serviced daily. Would have liked tea and coffee in the room but we knew this was the case when booking. Drinks and snacks are available at reception for a charge. Breakfast is standard continental buffet which was ample but nothing special. For tea drinkers there is a selection of different brews but no English Breakfast Tea. The closest I could find was Darjeeling. Was a little concerned about security as we were handed the key to our room from the 24 hr reception even though we had not met that person before and would not have been offended if I was asked for ID the first time. Baggage storage is the lobby which again isn’t secure and just watched over by reception. For those visiting Salzburg to see the sights, the hotel sells the Salzburg Card which we found very good value giving free entry to most places as well as free public transport which is so easy to understand and runs like clockwork. A pleasant stay although basic accommodation.

Eerste hotel op onze fietstocht van Salzburg naar Grado.. kamers zijn ruim, netjes en een goede service.ligt bij de Messe, met de fiets in 10 minuten in de Altstadt. Prima ontbijt! Helaas was grote restaurant niet open maar kon je wel eten in de bar…. Beperkte keuze waarbij wij een lekkere salade hebben gegeten

Booked this hotel for our ski holiday as only 60-90 mins from many ski resorts. Breakfast is amazing with lots of choice and every day had scrambled eggs and bacon plus many other options. Bus too opposite with number 4 bus running about every 20 mins until about 2230 hours. Cost for single is €3 euros. (Only take cash on buses). They also offer a day ticket for €4.50 but not sure if you have to buy this from a machine as didn’t offer on bus. You can buy a return ticket! We never had an issue with parking although the car park was often busy as the Sushi restaurant is very popular. There is also a Chinese buffet restaurant opposite called Huy Cook and Eat. ({€25). Food was good. They offered lots of raw fish and I wasn’t aware that they actually cook it for you! Rooms were cleaned every day and shower was awesome. I would have given this 5 stars but some of the reception staff weren’t very helpful. Eg. Not knowing any information about basic stuff like the buses!

Stay one nite at this hotel on our way to Salzburg. It’s located at an exit to a highway. There’s a Burger King next door and Adidas factory outlet also nearby. Our room for 2 pax is small. Cleanliness is also questionable as we found dusts and furs in the room. Facilities in the room is very limited. No fridge, no boiler to make hot water and no wardrobe. You will need to go down to the coffee house to get hot water. Breakfast is quite good though. Overall, quite disappointing stay.
