Altstadthotel Weisse Taube - Salzburg

9.7

I had stayed at the Weisse Taube almost 30 years ago and it is still (fifth generation) being run by the same family. I was greeted by the current manager, who is the grand-daughter of my host from 1981, and she was obviously moved to hear my story of getting beaten at tennis by her grand-dad (a former Austrian champion) back then... he passed away just two years ago. The hotel has been upgraded nicely since my last visit, but it is still recognizably the same charming place it has always been. My wife and I had a lovely room and genuinely enjoyed our stay at the hotel, and our visit to lovely Heidelberg.

excellent hotel

Very nice hotel, right in the hostorical center of Salzburg. Room was spacious, though the bathroom was a little cramped. Very friendly and helpful staff, with excellent English. Easy to reach via bus from the train station.

9.4

Excellent service, excellent location. I will not hesitate to go back

This was exactly what we wanted - a comfortable but not grand hotel right in the middle of the old town of Salzburg. The staff were friendly and very informative, the room was very quiet (with a proper bath in the en suite) and located on a charming courtyard. Given the location it was very good value for money. We very much enjoyed our stay there.

What a great little hotel. In the old part of town, right in the middle of all the great sites. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. This petit young women (the receptionist) came out to our car to take our bags :) But my brother was twice as big as her but she wouldn't take no for an answer. She even took them up to our room. The breakfast was nice too. While we stayed there it was raining cats and dogs but luckely the hotel had umbrellas we could borrow. The only down side was that when you arrive by car you have to get a ticket to get into the area of the old town were the hotel is. We had a bit of trouble with that even if we spoke the language. And the garage were you park the car is 5-8 minutes walk away. You can only on and offload at the hotel. But besides that it was one of the best hotels we have stayed in. So charming :)

Il bagno era un disastro, un prefabbricato in plastica color melanzana decisamente vecchiotto, il servizio eccellente e cortese, la stanza spaziosa ma con qualche pecca al di là del WC (tipo gli odori che arrivavano dal pozzo luce provenienti da qualche cucina). Il parcheggio era a 10 min. a piedi, abbastanza comodo, la posizione dell'albergo eccellente

5.8

The hotel location was great and not difficult to locate from the Mozartplatz bus station. The staff who attended to us was really helpful and has answered all our queries regarding the transportation and location to the places we wanted to go.

8.4

I found the staff most helpful and friendly. The breakfast was really great and served. My room was small, but most comfortable. It had a great desk so I could sit comfortably when not in bed. It was very central and convenient. There was a computer available for use--the lobby was very comfortable.

10

FANTASTIC all around. The service was outstanding and the location is perfect. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

One of our best hotels on our 3 1/2 week trip through Italy and Austria. Lovely family. Perfect location. Would stay there again!

7.8

Parking is a problem. Its a ten minute walk to the public car park and in the rain thats a long way. The hotel on the other hand was idealy located and very friendly. The breakfast was standard continental and good. We would return.

8.8

This hotel is very central and having some slight mobility problems we found it ideally placed to get about and to the markets. The dining room was a bit small but the service was excellent. Will certainly consider staying there again.

8.1

This was the first time my husband and I had stayed at this Hotel. The staff were wonderful and friendly and very helpful. This hotel is in the old part and within walking distance to lots of things as we did not have a car. The staff recommended places to eat which were great. Breakfast was included in the price and we thought was good value with nice variety.The rooms were a good size, had good heating and cleaned everyday. I loved the idea of having a electric jug in the room to make a cup of tea as anyone coming from Australia would understand this. We were there in the middle of Oct 2008 and thought the price we paid was very good value. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and would definately stay there again.

8.9

Very convenient,right in old city.Well priced.Staff helpful-arranged tour and concert,suggested a pleasant eatery-The Golden Duck?

9.1

Staff very friendly, helpful & excellent English. Rooms comfortable & clean. Close to everything. Definitely recommend it.

10

The hotel is located right in the heart of the old city! We could not have asked for a better location. Melanie welcomed us when we arrived. She was courteous, informed, and just lovely! She personally showed us to our room, answered all our questions and as a result, we felt that we had been personally welcomed into their family!

9.8

We were pleasantly surprised with how nice this hotel is, and the staff was excellent. The location is perfect! The bathroom was more spacious than any of the other hotels we stayed at. The breakfast was very good. Overall, we loved staying here and would do so again.

8.7

The hotel foyer was not smoke free and was most uncomfortable when walking through if someone was smoking.

10

Very convenient location, c;lose to everything, easy to walk any place of interest. Clean room, friendly staff, good breakfast.

7.1

Albergo piuttosto carino e confortevole. La camera che ci hanno dato era purtroppo molto piccola ed affacciata sul cavedio interno, dunque non proprio il massimo della vita. La reception chiude alle 22.00, se arrivate tardi ci sono un po' di problemi per fare il check-in. La colazione non è a buffet, si ordina al personale. Ad ogni modo è molto completa. La posizione dell'albergo è eccellente, in 5 minuti scarsi si arriva nel cuore della zona commerciale della città vecchia.

6.0

It is only a better 3-stars hotel in spite of declared 4 stars. The breakfast is good but not excelent as described and we ca'nt understand, that there is an extra charge for a scramled egg instead of an boiled one.

7.5

un pò del personale parlava italiano ed è stato cortese. la zona era fantastica

9.2

The location was great - just 1 minute from Mozartplatz, 2 minutes from the river. Extremely helpful staff at reception. Comfortable clean room. We enjoyed our stay.

10

The hotel is ideally located very close to the city centre & to all important sites....easily accessible by bus too from the railway station....the staff is very friendly...very nice ambience...overall a very memorable stay.

9.4

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel; location was perfect for me, within walking distance of everything.Breakfast was quite good. Staff are genuinely friendly and helpful. Nice modern bathroom. My room was on top floor with a view of the fortress high above - a fairytale setting. I couldn't have asked for better.Well worth the money.

9.8

We are very impressed with the service-oriented attitude of the staff. Excellent service and patience.

9.4

We enjoyed our stay in Salzburg and at this hotel. Room and staff very pleasant, price reasonable; great old city location, easy to reach by bus from airport, walking distance from old city attractions and buses to all else. No car needed! Good breakfast, clean, quiet room, lift available. Would stay here again.

9.2

This hotel has a certain charm and the location could not be better. We could easily walk to all the sites, including the castle/fortress, Mozart's house, etc. The staff spoke excellent English and were very helpful. The breakfast was very good and is included in the price. The room was large by European standards though ours was a little dark. Our stay here was pleasant but short and I will stay here again should I return to Salzburg.

6.5

Internet access is not available once Reception closes in the evening - this is annoying. Otherwise, a functional hotel, well situated.

7.2

Very basic hotel, clean, good location.

9.3

Excellent location in medieval sector of Salzburg. ONLY negative was noise of late-night passersby on Kaigasse, onto which our room faced. In the colder months, with windows closed, this likely would not be a factor.

10

My daughter and I stayed here in May. The staff was wonderful--the best we encountered during our two weeks in Europe. The place was charming (very old and beautifully kept) and the rooms quite comfortable. All the old town sights were within easy walking distance...all in all, an excellent experience.

9.8

This is a marvelous hotel, perfectly situated in the midst of Salzburg, with an unfailingly welcoming, helpful and professional staff. We highly recommend it.

10

The hotel has an ideal location, just around the corner from the Mozartplatz, Residenzplatz, Judengasse, in other words, smack dab in the middle of the old town. Wonderful for pedestrians. Parking facility is a bit distant, but then, that should not surprise, since the hotel is in the pedestrian zone. Perhaps I should "confess" that I have known the hotel for decades, have stayed there before its renovation and was therefore quite delighted with the "new" version.

8.8

The staff at this hotel were amazingly lovely and helpful. The location was very central to the Old Town and particularly good for the Christmas Market, however, this meant it was very noisy. We had trouble sleeping at night due to the noise as we were on the first floor on the street side. We would definitely return but would request a room away from the street.

8.1

Whilst we were not happy with the desk staff - we were most impressed with the breakfast room staff and the quality of the breakfast. Service was fast and efficient and the women serving were cheeful and welcoming

7.2

A nice hotel by european standards...we were envious when we glimpsed the room next door as it was much more spacious and had much better view...pillows were very uncomfortable..staff were helpful especially breakfast staff...location excellent

9.9

I took the advice from Trip Advisor and booked our room at the Hotel Weisse Taube. The staff was so friendly and accomodating. I was very pleased with our entire stay in Salzburg! The hotel was perfectly located in the Old Town, with all the sights in easy walking distance. It really was perfect. We even loved the SNOW in October!

7.4

My first stay at this hotel. It was quite central and the room was very pleasant and quiet. Car park was about 10 minutes walking distance and its location was clearly indicated by the hotel staff. Would definitely stay again.

6.5

The way the hotel that presented on your site seemed to indicate there was a garage included in the price quoted. But when we got to the hotel, we were told we would have to pay for a public parking. We refused and eventually they relented and didn't charge us the 3 days parking fees. The hotel is an old building that definitely needs some improvement: painting, cleaning and modernizing. Otherwise, it is very well located, very quiet. We definitely wouldn't go back there because we felt they tried to deceive us.

7.6

so so. Certainly adequate and in a good location, but thought a little shabby especially the bathroom. Was happy to leave the room. Only functional. Nothing to enjoy about room or bath. Breakfast room also dreary and breakfast the poorest we had anywhere in central Europe. We stayed at similar priced hotels in central Europe including Vienna and this was our most disappointing experience. However, the location couldn't be beat

10

I stayed at the Weisse Taube at the end of April 2007. The staff was always helpful with questions. The room was clean and organized. I called to the front desk to ask for extra towels, and it took, literally, one minute and there was a knock a the door with a smiling face. The breakfast included in the price of the room was outstanding. The choices of cereal, yogurt, fruit, beverages etc. was above and beyond my expectations. I would highly recomend this hotel for its nightly charge being moderate for the services provided!

10

The Hotel Weisse Taube was excellent. It was situated in the center of the Old Town and very easy to get to all the important tourist attractions. The hotel staff was very friendly and willing to help with any questions and travel information that you might need. Julia,a staff member, was always smiling, and surely made everyone feel welcome. The hotel was much more than I expected and I highly recommend it. I am a senior solo traveler and I was very pleased with this hotel and I most definitely would like to be a guest at the Weisse Taube in the future.

9.2

The location is perfect for Altstadt and the staff and family owners most welcoming. Breakfast was excellent. Our favorite meals were at Stiftskeller St. Peter located very close by.

9.9

Excellent location, very nice hotel, right in the Old Town, Salzburg...we really liked it, and would go back tomorrow. You could spend more money, but you wouldnt do any better.

9.1

The hotel itself and the surrounding areas were very nice and comfortable, and in the middle of the old town. we could walk everywhere and staff was very helpful helping us pick the right tours and visits. Although overall our stay was really nice, I would not recommended it for people travelling by car. It is situated in a street (Kaigasse) only accessible by foot or by taxi (you need a special access card which you get ... once inside the hotel). After an hour long search of Salzburg, we realized there was no way in, walked to the hotel, then back to pick up the car and drop off the luggage, and then back again from the parking lot.

9.0

Stay. Stay. Stay. This is a great Hotel. The staff is amazing and went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was more than acceptable. The location is near all the sights and very relaxing. I will stay here again and advise everyone I see to do the same.

8.9

We found this hotel -- fabulously located in the Old Town and well surrounded by the principal sites, spacious cafes, and plenty of restaurants -- to be clean, rustic in its charm, and very welcoming. The staff was frinedly, helpful, and spoke excellent Enlgish. The rooms were spacious, decently equipped, and quiet. Our sole reservation were the small and simple bathrooms. Overall, a great place at a good price. Would surely stay here again.

9.6

Great location. Great price. helpful staff. Enjoyed the stay alot!

7.9

The directions we received online were terrible. Also having to park our car in a public garage became a hassle as we were checking out. The location of the parking was not appealing either. The front desk clerk was helpful but not very friendly, however breakfast the next morning was great; friendly service and tasteful food.

8.2

The only drawback to our room was the noise level. It overlooked the street, and revelers were passing through till 2-3 AM. Personally I think all the other benefits (particularly the location) outweigh this, but someone more sensitive might disagree. However, any Old Town hotel room facing the street (which most do) will probably have the same trouble.

9.7

GReat hotel with excellent service in a perfect location!

9.7

nice brakfast, quite rooms, in the city center, simply perfect

6.7

our wakeup call was half an hour late. the breakfast had a great selection, but we were never served after ordering. the staff were very apologetic, perhaps it just bad luck for us.

9.0

Hotel has a good central location in the old town within easy walking distance of all attractions. Staff were extremely helpful & courteous.Bedroom was very clean & spacious, although decor of bathroom was a little dated. Breakfast was superb. Overall very good value.

8.5

Perfekter Standort des Hotels, direkt nebem dem Dom, aber sehr ruhig, da in der Fussgängerzone. Vom Bahnhof mit Bus Nr.5 bis Mozartsteg, von dort etwa eine Minute zu Fuss zum Hotel! Der Service war nett und zuvorkommend. Das Hotel ist, wie auf den Bildern zu sehen, etwas altmodisch eingerichtet. Die vier Sterne, naja, könnten auch drei sein. Bei uns im Zimmer war es leider staubig, sonst aber sauber. Das Frühstück wird serviert, man kann aber bestellen bis genug! Alles in allem ein super Aufenthaltsort für kurze Ferien, und dank Venere viel billiger als die angeschriebenen Preise.

7.2

An excellent location. Very helpful and pleasant staff. Rooms are clean, tidy & quiet but a little small which I think simply reflects the age of the building in that part of the City.

7.2

Wonderfully situated in the Altestadt. The bathroom could well be redecorated, but overall impression of room is OK. Service was very good.

9.9

I was very pleased with my stay at the hotel "Altstadthotel Weisse Taube". The staff was gracious and knowlegable. My room was very clean and quite. Easy walking distance to all sights in old town center. If I ever go back to Salzburg, I would definately stay again at this hotel. Very pleased.

5.8

The hotel promised a parking service [when i asked 10 Days before],finally they had no intentions [and are not alowed to do parking services, as they said!]. The employees incl. the owner don´t care very much about customers´ whishes.

8.5

This family owned hotel is very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Very well located for all the sights of Salzburg, best possible location just off Mozartplaz in the Old Town. Our room was rather small and looked straight into the opposite room, however it was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was very good and served to your table. Would recommend this hotel to all.

9.3

Dass die Ausstattung der Zimmer aus den 70er Jahren stammt, ist nicht so schlimm. Die ausgezeichnete Lage des Hotels veranlasst einen sowieso, ständig unterwegs zu sein. Das ganze Stadtzentrum mit seinen vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten ist leicht zu Fuss zu erreichen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Falls ich wieder nach Salzburg komme, werde ich wieder hier wohnen.

6.6

Excellent location in the heart of old-city Salzburg. Near churches with the every quarter hour "dong" all night long - and the inner courtyard rooms are noisy from an adjacent restaurant. If you can avoid the noise, a great place to stay.

9.4

Desk staff was exceptionally friendly & helpful. Breakfast room staff didnot always replenish empty buffet.

8.8

The Weisse Taube is a family-run hotel located two blocks from the Salzburg cathedral. The bedroom and bathroom were both large. The cost included a nice breakfast. Service was friendly and efficient. I thought it was exactly the right place to stay in Salzburg.

9.5

This hotel thoroughly impressed us. The owner and staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.Our room was exactly as we requested.The breakfast was very generous.

8.9

Weisse Taube was very convenient for the old part of the city.The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and adequate, and the breakfast was delicious, all we could wish in a continental breakfast. We were very happy with our choice of hotel.
