8.8

15-20 min walk to old town. other than train station, not much else directly around hotel. hotel itself was nice, clean, well maintained, etc. would probably look for something a bit closer to the action next time.

9.1

Excellent room. Very friendly employees. Stayed for 2 nights but restaurant was closed for party. Had difficulty to eat dinner. Found restaurant about 4 blocks from hotel. Two nearby hotels serve good lunch. Close to subway and convenient location with walking distance to museums etc. Taxi service very good.

9.3

We were very pleased with our room and felt it was good value at the price. The breakfast was excellent and included in the price. The hotel is very close to the railway station and was particularly convenient when we arrived by train late at night. It is a short walk from the centre of Salzburg and the old town.

8.9

found the hotel staff very helpfull, inclusive buffet breakfast plenty to choose from. no evening meals available but found a couple of places nearby to eat.we had a taxi from the airport which is only 15 mins away 14 euros. we walked into salzburg which you can easily do either through the town or along the river bank, again only 20mins.This was our first visit to salzburg and we really enjoyed it with the excellent weather for the first week in april an added bonus. just take plenty of euros with you as everything is expensive

10

The breakfast was outstanding! The personnel very gracious and helpful. I had questions concerning the use of the local bus service and the girl at the desk was very helpful. There is nothing better than after a full day of sightseeing being able to relax in the sauna. The hotel is only 5 minute walk from the train station and 1 block to the bus stop. We were very satisfied!

9.1

Location is near train station but with luggage, you will want to use a taxi, especially if the weather is bad. It is a walk to the old town but not bad. Get a Salzburg Card and you can take the bus.

8.6

I am disabled person. I got a room with 3 steps, despite of the fact that I mentionet about my disabilities in the reserwation form

9.2

A really nice hotel. Excellent breakfast, one of the best we ever had, with a very big variety of fruits (many exotic also), cereals, cheeses, sausages, eggs and omeletes, pies, yoghurts, mermelades etc. We also had an excellent dinner at the hotel that it was worth enjoying it. The staff lovely and ready to help us in any time we needed it.

9.6

The hotel was a flat and easy to find 5 minute walk from the train station and a short walk to the old town for good shopping and restaurants. An older hotel but very recently renovated. The rooms were freshly painted, the decor was lovely, very clean crisp linen on the bed with a new large marble bathroom. Very good value for money. We would recommend this hotel to anyone.

8.9

very wellcoming and comfortable hotel, 15-20 walking to the historical center. Very good breakfast!

9.1

I have been to this hotel before and would return again. There is one employee that we have trouble with but I think it's a language barrier and not personality. The breakfast is good and the rooms are very nicely decorated. It is about a 15 minute walk from the old city but for the price of the hotel compared to others for the same ammenities is worth it. One could always take the bus. It is on a busy corner but they have temperature control for summer and the windows block out all noise.

5.4

Nice hotel but poor service !

8.9

nous avons voyagé en train, l'hotel est tout près de la gare, et à une dizaine de minutes à pied du coeur de la ville. très bien comme hotel et bon resto sauna, super mais il serait préférable qu'il y ait une personne de l'hôtel pour expliquer le fonctionnement... nous y retournerions

9.1

Business people

9.2

Excellent place to stay, the restaurant is very good, shame it is closed on Sundays. Pleasant staff, helpful and competent.

8.6

A good location. Able to walk with luggage from the train station and also within walking distance of all the attractions. Hotel has a pleasant beer garden and a good sauna area. The room was as expected for a single bed room, but the bathroom more spacious than expected.

7.7

Nice Hotel, very commod and near to the centre. (just 4 stops or 15 min. walk) The staff is friendly and polite and the breakfast is reach and tasty. The room was clean and quiet even if we were in front of the main street.

8.9

The staff were excellent, we came in much earlier than expected and thought we might drop our luggage off until check-in but the rooms were available we we were able to prepare for the full day of activities. The food was great as well as the service. The only thing to be aware of is it is a european hotel, Americans should expect smaller rooms than in the US. This is where I'll stay when we come back to Salzburg.

9.9

The holiday was to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday. The hotel was everything we had hoped for, and the staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. The Hotel is in a good location with easy access to both the new and old towns of Salzburg. The bus network is accessible very close by, and there is a small shopping mall near to the hotel.

8.9

Excellent hotel! Great location. Their staff - very helpful. We would definitely stay in this hotel again.

9.6

We had a wonderful stay! The front desk staff was very welcoming and helpful. The location of the hotel was perfect for us - in easy walking distance of both the train station and the city center. Both the room and the restaurant had very pleasing atmospheres. The included breakfast had a nice variety of delicious foods, and we also had dinner at the restaurant which was good food at a reasonable price. Thank-you! We would definitely return.

9.2

The hotel was very nice, employees spoke very well english, which was a little surprising after a week in Italy ;) Rooms were nice and clean, and spacious!

8.1

Accommodation was lovely and short walk from all major sight seeing points. Great breakfasts!

9.1

I was in Salzburg many times and it was my first accomodation in this hotel/ It was choosen due to the closest location to the Central Rail Station. I very like this hotel, it is nice equiped, has large restaurant and wide range of breakfast meal. The room was big and nice decorated. There are special services for relaxation, spa procedures and massage. The bus stop to Salzburg downtown is 1 min to walk. Unfortunately Internet WiFi access is relatively expencive.

9.0

Excellent Hotel. Large rooms, very luxurious, very clean. Close to Old City and station. Lovely stay had by all. Will return.

9.5

Our third stay at this hotel did not dissapoint We particularly like the size and quietness of the bedrooms.

9.6

Excellent choice for a rail station area hotel!Staff was knowlegable and helpful.Restaurant on premises serves a wide choice of very high quality food.

7.7

Very convenient to train station and easy to catch bus into old town. Room for 3 was bit small but otherwise was clean and adequate. Lots of tours available from hotel front desk. Breakfast had hot and cold items and was filling.

7.8

Le camere sono molto belle con il doppio bagno e molto luminose. L'area saune e relax è ben strutturata.Molto brava la signora che effettua i massaggi. Molto ben fornita la colazione e di buona qualità.Vicino al centro e alla stazione.Giudizio complessivo: ottimo.

8.4

Hotel veramente bello, molto curato, pulitissimo e con molti comfort compresi nel prezzo tipo sauna, palestra, ecc. Consigliato!

7.6

very nice hotel at very conveniant location the staff is very helpful and kind THEY make the difference food is acceptable

9.7

Meals were excellent. Breakfast buffet was loaded with fresh fruit..yummy scrambled eggs too. Saunas were great, but odd hours (1-9PM). Friday night is beer & pretzel night in bar with live music...wonderful! Fan in room makes noises, but doesn't seem to move air; had to open window over busy street for ventilation- a bit noisy. Overall, an excellent hotel.

9.8

family of 2, children aged 9 and 11. Loved this hotel, location excellent, 5 minute walk from Mirabelle gardens also very close to bus stop which was easy and convenient. Breakfast wonderful and dinner or just a drink in the beer garden an added bonus.

8.9

Nice hotel - very good breakfast. Clean and spacious rooms.

8.4

The breakfast staff were efficient but a little aloof. The evening staff at dinner were on the whole pleasant but failed to bring desserts and extra drinks without several requests. The service was a little slow and the menu was rather limited, especially the desserts. However the rooms were lovely, the area was okay during the day but seedy in the evening.

9.9

Very nice. Wonderful breakfast! Close to train station, but a bit far from main area. Can walk, but suggest taxi. Very large,clean rooms. Free internet and ice machine!! Staff very helpful. We would stay here again, but would consider closer into town.

8.8

This is a lovely hotel and although it is on a busy street the room was quiet. It was easy to find and the parking was good. It is a pleasant 15 minute walk through the Mirabell Gardens and along the river to the old town. Breakfast was good. It was good to have air conditioning and free internet access. My only criticism is that we had a triple room and the third bed was a bed settee which was not so comfortable. At the price I'd expect a bed.

9.3

The staff was amazing! The booked our Sound of Music tour for us in advance. The girl at the deak spoke great English and was ver patient answering all of our questions. The bar/restaurant was great for food and ambience! We even got to take our steins of beer up to the Solarium and sit in the sun.

8.9

an excellent hotel but the restaurant is not quite what I expected. The food is OK but the service is very slow and not very skilled

9.5

This was an excellent hotel and I would definitely stay here again. The only issue I had that prevented this from being an overall exceptional experience was some maintenance they were doing relatively early one morning which awoke my family and me. However, I view that as an anomaly/outlier. Other than that, it was a great experience ranging from the nice, clean and spacious room (we were on the top floor in a newly renovated room that slept four) a wonderfully helpful staff (making reservations, providing information, etc.) and a great morning breakfast (one of the best of all the hotels (13 I believe) we stayed at throughout our five week trip throughout Europe). The hotel is very close to the train station and bus routes. Based on my experience, I highly recommend this hotel.

5.8

Front desk afternoon/evening staff was unfriendly, though sometimes helpful. There was a problem with our reservation, so they tried to put us in an un-airconditioned hotel farther away from the center -- when the whole reason we wanted to stay there was the air conditioning.

9.0

THE HOTEL IS NEAR THE TRAIN STATION AND 20 MINUTES WALKING TO THE OLD CITY. THEY RENT BIKES AND THERE'S A SMALL BIERGARTEN NEXT TO.THE WEATHER WAS SO HOT AND THERE'S NO AIR CONDITIONER IN THE ROOMS.THE STAFF WAS SO HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY.

9.1

This hotel is very well located: walking-distant from the railway station (5 min) and Mirabel Gardens (10 min). The room is spacious with a big bathroom as well. The spa is unbelievable: many saunas, baths and steam-rooms. Excelent! I would come back and recommend this property for sure!

9.1

near the center (10 MIN WALKING), near the bus stop, easy to reach from the highway, free park, good and reach breakfast, precised and useful info by the receptionist

6.9

Good hotel,nice walk to old town, the only thing that spoilt it for us was the smell of stale cigars in bedrooms and all public areas, which was a pity because the staff were helpful, the breakfast was good, never tried the evening meal because of the smell of smoke. Good restauants with non smoking ares close by.

9.0

We stayed 2 nights in a family room. The first night, the A/C was broken but it was fixed the next day. A bit noisy the first night with the windows open. Very good breakfast and nice outdoor restaurant for dinner. We would definitely stay here again.

10

We will definately stay at Achat Plaza zum Hirschen Salzburg next time we are in Salzburg. The location was easy to find, even though it was after 2000 when we arrived. It was within walking distance of the train station and Mirabelle gardens.

9.6

We loved our room, it was spacious, comfortable and clean. This was our first time in Salzburg and could not have asked for a better location. The breakfast was very nice. We would highly recommend.

9.1

Given the convenient location of this hotel for access to the old town of Salzburg just across the river, the pricing was great, superb car parking area and the staff were exceptionally helpful. Wireless Internet access was an added benefit and I'd happily recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to visit Salzburg - superb.

7.4

A little walk from the centre but overall very good. Handy for the train station.

10

cannot fault this hotel in any way. staff helpful and very friendly. choice of breakfast could not be better. all in all we would gladly go back to this hotel at any time and hopefully we will. very, very pleasant stay, thanks to all concerned.

5.7

Quite happy with overall quality & cleanliness of hotel. However this hotel was a Best Western when I booked it and I feel that I should have been informed that this had changed ownership. Best Western are a reliable and internationally trusted company and this change would have most probrably altered my decision to stay there. I realise that we stayed over the New Year Period, but it would have been nice to know that there were going to be no restaurant or bar open until 6th January. This was particularily annoying as the restaurant and bar facilities displayed on the website looked very appealing and did not mention any closures.

7.4

nice breakfast and sauna

9.9

The bedroom was very clean, well equipped and quiet. The bathroom benefitted from a separate toilet and the shower was huge - we shared of course to save water! In fact we could have spent more time in the shower but we only had one night. We arrived too late to eat at the hotel but the receptionist recommended a Gasthof a block down the road which served until 2am. We had an excellent meal which was extremely reasonable. We would definitely go back to this hotel. It was situated across the river from the main streets but very near to the railway station - which is one of the reasons we booked it as we took the train to Vienna for the rest of our holiday.

8.9

Welcoming Staff and very good breakfast. Good location close to HBF and only a 15 minute walk into Old Town / Centre.

9.0

I stayed for two nights, and was glad I booked this hotel. The facilities were spotless, the room was enormous - not the norm for a single traveller, and I was very comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and a good variety, with reception open 24 hours for late revellers! For anyone flying in to the airport - get a #2 bus, and alight at Kiesel. The hotel is 2 mins round the corner. The bus stop across the road from where you alight is ideal for going back. If you want a hotel in a scenic part of town - which wasn't important to me - this wouldn't be the hotel for you. But it is only 10 mins walk to the Mirabel Gardens, and 20 mins from the heart of the old town - and it's excellent value for money.

8.3

clean, spacious, good breakfast, very reasonable by comparison to other facilities in eastern europe. Area of Prague a bit dark, but it was safe. close to transportation. Would recommend.

7.8

The hotel room faced a very busy street with traffic that was running almost all night. If you left the windows closed it helped reduce the noise quite a bit. Easy access to buses and trains. Walkable to old town and the river.

8.0

We requested one room for four adults and were quoted $144 per night, which we thought was great and took it. When we arrived at the hotel, they informed us that this price was for 2 adults and 2 children, and we ended up having to stay in 2 rooms for $110 each. So what we read on Venere and what happened at the hotel was quite different. They said it was in the fine print, but we never saw it. So we were dissappointed to have to pay so much extra. We decided to find another hotel for our second night. Besides that, the hotel was very nice and breakfast was great!

9.7

We stayed in a triple room, facing the street. However, there was no traffic noise thanks to excellent sound insulation. The room was quite spacious, bright, sparkling clean and very pleasant. It was a very nice room to return to after walking about Salzburg. For folks who don't mind a short (10 minute walk), this hotel offers a very fine option. It is also within very easy walking distance from the rail station. The hotel restaurant was a bit short-staffed on the day we stayed (Austria's national day), perhaps there is better staffing ordinarily. However, the food was surprisingly good for a hotel restaurant and we enjoyed our meal. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel.

8.6

We had a very good dinner in the restaurant as well as the continental breakfast. The size of the hotel facility was good, making it cozy and quaint. It was very convenient as we were travelling by train, 5 minutes to the station and also a comfortable walk to Old Town. Compared to higher prices closer to the Old Town, I would recommend this hotel.

9.0

Very confortably estate. Perfect service, very good food in wonder atmosphere.

9.9

excellent hotel. around corner from train station and 15 minutes walk to town centre. food excellent.

9.0

A very nice, spacious room with extra large bathroom and hot tub. A little bit away from the old town. The service was excellent.

8.6

Well appointed hotel! Very clean, very EUropean and very well taken care of. The staff was very helpful and excellent. The included breakfast ranks among the best that I have had in Europe. The hotel is about a 15 minute walk from the old city, but a wonderful scenic river walk into town. A five minute bike ride to the old town. All in all a very nice hotel with excellent amenities.

10

A very nice and clean suite for my family of 4 with a nice spa and free internet service. Tours were booked at the hotel as well as pick up service. Receptionist was very knowledgeable about where to purchase items in the area. Parking located at the hotel in a safe area and a 10 minute walk to the centrum. Also, a huge selection was available at the breakfast buffet.

9.6

Salzburg was the last stop of a 1 week tour of Italy, Slovania, & Austria. The Zum Hirschen was the most accommodating Hotel we stayed at. The staff was very helpful & the breakfast served was 1st rate. The only negative thing we incountered, was that the internet states that the hotel has laundry facilities. Actually, the laundry facilities was about 1 mile from the hotel, & we had some trouble finding it. But over-all, we found the stay very enjoyable, & would highly recommend it.

9.0

We much appreciated the fact that the room was in two parts like a mini-suite, and had two TV sets. The garden restaurant was quite enjoyable. The breakfast buffet leaves nothing to desire, and the multiple saunas, too. The only inconvenient is that it's located is not in a residential area.

8.7

Our first stay at this property. Very comfortable, quiet room. Helpful staff, provided advice on tours and booked them for us. Hot buffet breakfasts with plenty of choice and eggs cooked to order were a feature. We also had dinner in the restaurant two nights - not because it was convenient but because the food and service was so good. Overall, this hotel offered better value for money than most hotels we used in Europe this summer. Highly recommended.

9.4

Very helpful staff; good location and easy to find. Very nice fitness room and sauna.

10

This is a BEUTIFULLY renovated hotel! It is short walk to the river and from the river to old town fantastic! the staff is friendly and helpful. Great hotel for families.

8.6

The Hotel Zum Hirschen was very clean with a spacious bathroom compared to others in Europe. The hotel is a little removed from the old section of Salzburg, but only a 15-20 minute walk. The breakfast was good in comparison to others in Europe and the staff very helpful and fluent in English. It was also one of the few hotels on our trip in Europe that provided on site parking without additional charges. I would recommend this hotel.

10

Very beautiful hotel directly on city center. The employees are very competent and speak french (fabulous). I recommend this hotel for family.

7.9

Room temperature was too high. Cover was too heavy for the temperature.

9.6

After a long flight and then a 5 hour drive we were very happy to have booked this hotel. Very clean, comfortable (2 bedrooms in family room for 4 of us)and a helpful staff. Easy parking, and a quick bus ride to the old town. Very good value for money.

9.9

near railwaystation - ok for train traveller but non only. very excellent breakfast with biological products.

8.1

Free parking. Easy to find. They pick you up at the hotel for city tours etc. Decent number of places to eat near the hotel. Good breakfast buffet although we had to hurry through it. Wife liked the room a lot.

9.8

Wonderful! We had a large, comfortable room that was very clean. Everything in the hotel seemed newly updated and fresh. The staff was helpful in everyway. Lots of unexpected extras, such as a wonderful sauna on the fourth floor to shake off the winter chill and a restaurant that served traditional meals made from all organically grown ingredients. All this for a very reasonable price!

9.9

We enjoyed this hotel. It was easy to find and we got exactly what had been advertised on the web site in terms of price andf quality. Breakfast was really good - one the best we had on the whole trip. Definitely recommended.

9.2

è un'ottima soluzione per una famiglia con figli grandi. Ho avuto assegnata una camera comoda e spaziosa.

9.9

This was the best hotel we stayed in during a three week family vacation. The food was excellent (breakfast and dinner), the family room spacious and the hotel was extremely clean and well-run. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, which is invaluable when travelling with children.

9.5

Spotless hotel with a good breakfast and good rooms.

9.9

Overall, we could not have been happier with this hotel. We booked during the very busy Advent season when most hotels were fully booked. We easily secured a triple room and family room. The rooms were quite spacious by European standards; the family room had two separate bedrooms and was very well-priced for the size. The rooms were exceptionally clean. Reception staff was very friendly and helpful in booking tours, concerts, and providing directions. Breakfast was generous and offered great variety. The hotel is conveniently located across from a small shopping mall. A great stay -- highly recommended.

9.6

Single room are very nice, with a lot of space, nice large bathroom and very clean. Buffet for breakfast was ok. The people working at the registration desk did not seem to be always happy to work there and to help customers. I arrived early the first day (10am) and the lady told me I had to wait until 2pm for a room. The manager arrived and saw I was tired and he found me a room right away. I was very thankfull for that. He seemed to be very carefull to his customers, but was probably the only on.

10

We were extremely happy with our hotel selection. Check in was after 2 p.m., but a storage room was available for our luggage while we started exploring the city. The hotel is on a main street but was very quiet with an attractive beer garden that the rain did not allow us to sample. It is in a very convenient location, very close to the train station. It is within walking distance to the old town, but also close to the bus stop and terminal for a quicker (or drier) transportation to the main attractions. We were more than delighted with the size and décor of our room. We were on the fourth floor: entry area with desk, trouser press, and storage; separate toilet from the large bathroom area; large, nicely decorated room with sitting area. By our measure, we would consider it a suite. Also, on the same floor there was a sauna available to the guests. All the staff (both hotel and dining room) were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was exceptional with many choices including egg dishes made to order. A great array of juices complemented the buffet variety. They rightfully pride themselves in having all organic (BIO) foods! We were also very happy to relax at night in this popular restaurant. Our dinner selections were very good and plentiful, with American-sized portions! Again we would definitely recommend “Hotel Zum Hirschen” to fellow travelers. It exceeded our expectations.

9.8

1.It's high rate between quality and price .in addtion,they provide a very good breakfast, sauna. 2.I must tell u something,U must feel so surprise as well as i.they have a "special package "--2 nights in a double room just spend U 134 euro!!! includes breakfast buffet,extra free with a 24 hr Salzburg card,sparking wine,1 Mozart CD...I found it in their Hotel Guide 2005 and have checked with their guy.

10

The best place we've stayed at in Europe. Excellent breakfast and very nice room--located near train station. BOOK EARLY!!!

7.7

buona struttura, curata e pulita a 2 km dal centro, problema grave per un Italiano in un hotel a **** da 156 euro a notte manca il bibè nel bagno, capisco che in Austria è considerato un elemento accessorio ma per un Italiano è un elemento essenziale di igiene personale. altro problema nessuno parla Italiano e siamo a circa 250km dal confine italia quindi grave difficoltà a reperire informazioni. un hotel **** in una città internazionale almeno alla reception ci si aspetta personale multilingue ristorante con ottima cucina ma anche qui menù e personale solo in Tedesco

9.1

Excellent location. It is about 10 minutes walk from the train station and it was easy wheeling our suitcases along the smooth pavements.The staff was very welcoming and helpful. We were given 2 spacious rooms with an interconnecting door, which we really appreciated. The bathrooms were spacious as well. The breakfast was superb by any standards. I would definitely stay there again. Highly recommended.

7.8

The hotel stuffs attitudes was slightly businesslike but not uncomfotable. The room was neat and clean.

6.5

The hotel was fine and the room was large and very nice. However, the attitude of the employees and the lack of local knowledge conveyed by the employees made our stay somewhat unenjoyable.

7.1

Everything was quite perfect. The room was as expected and the hotel is 15 minutes of walk from the city center. The surprise arrived with the checkout: we paid a penalty of 32€ because we left the hotel 1 day before the scheduled date. Apart that, we enjoyed to stay there.

9.1

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Best Western Zum Hirschen: helpful staff, spotlessly clean, good location. We would recommend the hotel to others.

9.9

The hotel was easy to find. It was very clean and comfortable. I'd recommend it to anyone. We took the bus from the stop nearby to places of interest. The restaurant was also very good. A very nice breakfast buffet was included.

7.9

Long way away from the city centre. The free parking was useful

8.2

Of 5 hotels used in Europe over the June - July period this was easily the best in quality and was very good value for money. My wife and I hope to return to Salzburg and would be glad to stay here again.

9.7

Family room was actually two separate bedrooms, with a common entrance area with an armoire. Each room though not large, had a tv, phone, two night stands, dresser, desk. bathrooms were separated to bath/shower/sink and toilet/bidet/sink. two sofa beds in kids room were very comfortable and worked well for our boys --older one is 200 lbs and he said it was comfortable. Breakfast buffet was ample, with fresh cooked eggs to order, soft drinks and champagne. Ice machine in lobby. AC in rooms but not public area. I would stay here again. It took us about fifteen minutes to walk to city center. We never used public transport, it was not necessary. The staff was very friendly and competent, and did not expect tips. (overall, seemed surprised, and one gave back!)

9.8

Bus to city centre was expensive at 1.80 Euro but it was a comfortable 15 minute walk in good weather. Room was very spacious and quiet. Facilities were beyong expectations with free internet, safe, sauna and turkish bath and excellent hotel restaurant which served a great meal.
