The air-conditioned accommodation is 3.4 km from Hohensalzburg Fortress. The property offers allergy-free units and is located 3.8 km from Getreidegasse.

The apartment was spacious, newly renovated, and immaculately clean. The kitchen was stocked with absolutely every appliance and utensil you could think of. A nice balcony with chairs allows you to enjoy a morning coffee or a drink in the evening looking out at the snow-covered Alps. This is also a working farm, so you get to see the sheep every day out in the pasture next to the apartments and get a taste of Bavarian countryside life. Many guests have cars, but if you don't, a bus into town stops right in front of the property every 15 minutes or so.

One of the best memories during our stay was when Daniela gave my wife her birthday cake - that was very thoughtful! Location is perfect - bus stop is right outside the property. View from the balcony is amazing. We'll definitely stay here again when we come back to Salzburg!

The receptionist was super nice! We stranded at salzburg because storm in munich. Luckily, we found this hostel. When we arrived they will give you hot wine for free. Then we worried very much if we can’t go to munich on the next day. The receptionist was very helpful and he was willing to call the train station to make sure there was a train available to munich. The hostel also good and clean. There is also a backyard. Although this is a shared bathroom, but there was a sink in your bedroom. Also you can get free coffee in the hostel

    Friendly staff - very helpful Good breakfast - a wide choice of foods - I think anybody can find something to their taste. I would have liked to see some scrambled or fried eggs though. The room was clean and relatively quiet. Parking space on the grounds - it costs a out 12 Euros a day, but in the city that is relatively cheap. You have a small restaurant with a few good choices for an evening mea. Good location - City center on foot in 5-10 minute sreachable. Good view of the castle just in front of the hotel.

    Great location, near to grocery shops, restaurants and small shops! Walking distance to the city center and main sightseeing attractions. Free coffee and water in the lounge. Despite being in the city, it is a quiet pleasant hotel. Nice staff and they also provided lunch pakets when leaving too early for breakfast.

    There was a great choice for breakfast which was served in a lovely bright room. Sandra is a great host, she gave us lots of information about places to go and which buses to get. The "pension" is spotless and very comfortable.

    The hostel was in a great location, on a quiet street halfway between the train station and the city centre. Staff were friendly and always around to answer any questions. There were lots of ladies showers, and they were kept very clean. Rooms were spacious and included a desk and a secure locker each (which locked with your room key). The bunk beds were really solidly built and comfortable (not the flimsy squeaky type you get in most cheap hostels!) Coffee, tea and juice available at reception throughout the day was a nice bonus.

    Great location, easy access between the train station and the city center, very quiet area. The apartment was very clean, spacious, with everything you need in the bathroom and a pleasant surprise - the free mini bar, although we only stayed one night. Very easy communication on whatsapp with the hosts who answered our questions quickly. We gladly recommend.
