Page 2 of 3 Salzburg Hotels
There are more than 130 hotels to choose from when planning an overnight trip to Salzburg. Unfortunately, most of the ones nearest the action in the Altstadt are worn and overpriced to the extent that we no longer recommend them. We refer specifically to the Elefant, the Weisse Taube, and ArtHotel Blaue Gans. Here are few we do recommend, however:
Altstadt Radisson SAS
The best Old Town accommodations. Though corporately-owned, the Altstadt has created the intimate atmosphere of a small inner-city hotel. Its entrance from Judengasse is via a simple arched doorway over which hangs the traditional Salzburg decorative wrought iron sign. The reception area is small but elegant with a patterned granite tile floor, recessed lighting and a richly burnished dark wood check-in counter.
Guest rooms are individually decorated, with views to the Salzach River, the Kapuziner Monastery, the romantic lanes of the historical old town or the fortress.

Daily Rates: Doubles €198-346
Rating: Quality 17/20, Value 10/20
Ambiente-Hotel Struber
In the shadow of the Hohensalzburg Fortress and a 12-minute dawdle to the center of Salzburg, including the Domplatz and Mozart’s birthplace, the family-run, 14-room, Struber continues to offer visitors a refined, comfortable, and amicable resting place. Impeccably dressed in warm wood, oriental carpeting, and historic city portraiture, the Struber reflects the taste, serenity, and hospitality of its owners, Frau and Herr Illmer, who personally oversee the bountiful buffet breakfasts and an always-helpful front desk (usually staffed by a family member).
Daily Rates: Doubles €140-180

Altstadthotel Wolf
Once a Gemütlichkeit top pick, the Wolf has slipped over the years. Rooms are rather Spartan and quite small. Great location, however.
Daily Rates: Singles €68-98, doubles €98-158

Auersperg
Four-star, business-oriented hotel in a quasi-residential district 10 to 15 minutes’ walk from the Old Town. Most of the spacious and well-appointed guestrooms have been refurbished. Parking is free, and there is a fitness room with sauna, steam bath, and roof terrace.
Daily Rates: Doubles €145-185

Markus Sittikus
This hotel, in an attractive Baroque-style building on the edge of the right bank’s commercial area, is a step up the quality ladder from most left bank hotels, but one step down in price. Guestrooms are more spacious and better maintained and furnished. The location is quiet and the welcome warm.
Daily Rates: Singles €70-79, doubles €114-130
Contact: Markus Sittikus, A-5020 Salzburg, Markus-Sittikus-Strasse 20, tel. +43/0662/87 1121-0, fax 87 1121-58, hotel@markus-sittikus.at, www.markus-sittikus.at
Rating: Quality 13/20, Value 14/20
Hotel Trumer-Stube
This cozy hotel enjoys a convenient location just over the river from the old town. Recently refurbished, it is a better value than other hotels in its category in the Altstadt. The Hirschbichlers are pleasant hosts and able to offer guests passes for on-street parking in the neighborhood.
Daily Rates: Doubles €103-133

Rating: Quality 10/20, Value 12/20
Hotel-Pension Jedermann
Salzburg’s best value, the Jedermann has 16 thoughtfully furnished guestrooms with hardwood floors and pleasant furnishings. There is free Internet access in the lobby, free parking, and the Altstadt is a 15- to 20-minute walk (three or four minutes by bus).
Daily Rates: Singles €65-75, doubles €90-130

Rating: Quality 13/20, Value 15/20
Hotel Bergland
This sociable little three-star hotel is run by Peter Kuhn, who painted many of the colorful, stylized paintings that cover the walls. Rooms range from rustic to modern, and all have spotless, white-tiled bathrooms with shower and toilet. Off-street parking is a plus. Herr Kuhn rents bikes and offers Internet access. Buses run to the Altstadt from close by.
Daily Rates: Singles €60-78, doubles €90
