Homestays in Salzburg State, Austria

We stayed for 4 nights at beginning of February on a breakfast included deal which was excellent value. Hotel was quiet but only a five minute walk from the railway and bus stations. Very convenient as we had no car for this trip. Touristy part of Salzburg a 10/15 minute walk. All staff at hotel very friendly and helpful. Room had kitchenette (we had only booked a simple double) so that was quite a handy, unexpected feature. Modern bathroom, powerful hot shower, extremely comfy beds. Breakfast buffet was beautifully presented in a pleasant dining room, and with plenty of choice. Loved the contraption for boiling your own eggs!

Extremely friendly and outgoing staff. Very ready to help with any needs or questions. Rooms are clean and comfortable. When we had to leave early on last day to catch train before breakfast was served, the staff prepared a goody bag on their own accord. Highly recommend anyone to stay here if you are in Salzburg!

The hotel itself was good. The room was small but very well planned, it had air conditioning, kettle, safe, shower gel etc. - everything you would need. The bed even had a soft support for your head when you are sitting in the bed. You had to check-in in the hotel nearby (2 mins walking, no more), but for us it was no problem. After that, you just use lust card to unlock outside and your own room door. The administration was very helpful as well (especially the blonde girl, pay her a bonus!). Finally, the sound isolation was good and the windows were sound proof. Now the drawbacks. Even though the room was clean and tidy, towels were changed, but cleaners weren't doing their job properly. Because there is a kettle in the room, tea and coffee packs were left the first 3 days, but the 4th and 5th day they weren't left. We could've bought them, but the stores work only until 8 PM, so it was too late when we came back. The 3rd day she left tea and coffee packs, but didn't leave paper cups and even threw away old paper cups that I left on my table. So had to go to registration and they gave us proper cups with spoons. The cleaner didn't put new bottle of liquid soap, so had to ask administration for this one as well. The cleaner was lazy enough, that the empty bottle of soap wasn't taken out (you can't do it by yourself, I tried). On the final morning we ran out of shower gel (unfortunately, I already started showering), and we almost ran out of toilet paper, because cleaner couldn't add the second one as is usual). So overall it can be a perfect hotel, but nuances listed above make it much worse that it is worth it. I'd be back again if I knew the problem with cleaners is sorted.

Placé à quelques minutes à pied de la gare, le B&B est à 30 minutes environ de la vieille ville, en longeant la rivière (une bonne partie du trajet est très bien arrangée et jolie). C'est une maison réaménagée en chambres privées. Accueil facile et rapide. Les chambres semblent aménagées depuis très peu de temps. Elles sont relativement petites, et il n'y a que très peu de rangements. Il en est de même dans la salle de bain : bien arrangée, mais ensemble exigu. La literie est très correcte, l'isolation phonique acceptable si la fenêtre est fermée. La climatisation fonctionne bien, la propreté est impeccable. Le petit-déjeuner est très soigné, c'est un plus ! Le rapport qualité-prix parait un peu élevé, mais tout est très cher dans cette ville splendide.

Il s'agit d'une villa divisée (depuis peu) en chambres. Celle que nous avions était de dimension moyenne, avec peu de rangements, une literie correcte. La salle de bain est de même acabit : le manque de rangement pour déposer sa trousse de toilette est notable, mais l'ensemble est très propre et les matériaux sont de très bonne qualité. La climatisation est très efficace, et le double vitrage permet une bonne insonorisation. La villa se trouve à 5 minutes de la gare à pied, ce qui est pratique. Mais l'ancienne ville, centre névralgique de Salzbourg, se situe à 30 minutes à pied (en longeant la rivière, ce qui peut donner l'occasion d'une jolie promenade). Le petit-déjeuner est soigné, avec de bons produits. Nous avons pu récupérer notre chambre plus tôt que prévu, ce qui est très avantageux. L'accueil et le personnel sont très agréables. Le prix nous a semblé un peu élevé pour cette prestation, mais à Salzbourg tout est cher !
