We arrived here from Munich by train, took bus directly from the station to the hotel checkin door. Checkin is at Hotel Neutor which is a separate hotel but jointly managed. Breakfast is available in Hotel Neutor and was good but not outstanding and slightly pricey. Staff spoke very good english and was very helpful - She booked a fine evening Mozart performance by talented local musicians in Festung Hohensalzburg for us. The hotel room was adequate and unimpressive. The interior was dated and worn but seemed basically clean. The bed was comfortable. The location is just on the other side of the ridge behind Salzburg old city but tunnels through the ridge allow walking and driving directly to it from the hotel. The room was minimal and did not include any chair or desk. Only bedside tables were present. The hotel price was much cheaper than hotels in the old city and nearly as convenient. The neighborhood was pretty quiet at night with almost no traffic and felt quite safe. We ate all our meals in the old city and did not see many dining choices on the hotel side of the ridge. If you will use the room only as a place to sleep and clean up this is a very good option, but it falls short if you want to lie around the room or have friends to visit in your room.
L’hôtel est bien situé. Il est à une dizaine de minutes de la ville. La chambre était spacieuse et propre, avec une terrasse. L’hôtel est sympa pour un arrêt à Salzbourg, avec la possibilité de payer un parking si vous avez une voiture pour la nuit.
This is a well positioned hotel, with trendy rooftop bar and resto, but in my opinion not worthy of a four star rating. It falls well short on service – detail below. ARRIVAL – don’t expect a doorman to come running to help with your bags. Might take you a few minutes to find one, likely you will have to carry your own bags through the revolving door, there is no access to the street for a luggage trolley. PARKING – Hotel doesn’t permit parking outside, neither is valet service offered to their parking 400mtrs away and a long drive around the city one way system. In the rain this is a truly unwelcome experience. ROOM – We booked the best possible room, Honeymoon suite 203 at 1,866euro for two nights. Room was spacious and nicely furnished, impressive stucco ceiling, but a large part of the night excessive foot stomping noises coming through the roof from above. Hotel seemed to have difficulty preventing this noise. SERVICE – don’t expect evening turndown, no housekeeping staff present during the evenings. Dinner in the rooftop resto was pretty amateur service and limited menu. Pub food. During dinner at 9.30pm I asked for extra French fries but told that was impossible due to the Chef going home early on Mondays, the waiter kindly volunteered to prepare my dessert! Apparently, he informed us that on Mondays the hotel drops its service levels. First time I have experienced star ratings that fluctuate as a matter of routine on different days of the week. Check out similar experience to arrival - one receptionist doing her best but inadequate service. Management poor here. Much better places to stay in this beautiful city.

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.
When I was looking for a hotel for a 1-night stay in Salzburg, I stumbled upon the listing for the Hyperion and took a chance. I wasn't familiar with the Hyperion hotel brand and didn't know much about Salzburg. Now, I have fallen under the spell of both the hotel and the city. The Hyperion is a fairly new hotel and it is in pristine shape. The room is rather generously sized compared to most of the European hotels I have stayed in thus far. The bathroom was particularly good -- with an American-style shower that featured both a handheld wand and a rain shower head. The separate water closet was a plus. The technology in the room (especially the lighting tech) is impressive, if not slightly confusing. Nice touch to have the Nescafe machine and the Mozart chocolates. The bed was very comfortable. The location, next to Mirabell Gardens, was great. The hotel staff was helpful. We arrived early, and the front desk gave us tips on how to spend our afternoon, drawing out some local attractions on the map and suggesting we get a Salzburg card (we already had them). They also gave us a recommendation for dinner, but we were turned away at the restaurant, which was full. In stead, we dined at the restaurant in the hotel, which was quite nice. Service was solid. Breakfast is a tad expensive, but they do offer a wide assortment of breakfast items (hot and cold) as well as eggs made to order. Champagne was also available for mimosas. Nice touch.
