Set in Salzburg and only 3.1 km from Festival Hall Salzburg, Apartments by Pension Ballwein offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. 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.

Located in a historic town house, right in the heart of Salzburg, the family-run arte vida boutique guesthouse offers a garden with a seating area and features rooms with Moroccan-style furniture. Please note that the arte vida boutique guesthouse has no lift. The Getreidegasse, with Mozart’s birthplace, is just a 5-minute walk away.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The hostess, Alina was extremely obliging & helpful. The apartment is large & delightful. Internet was excellent. There is no lift & we were on 2nd floor but we appreciated the exercise. The location was excellent, the bed was comfortable and everything was excellent. There was no microwave but the oven worked very efficiently.

All three people at the front desk were cheerful, helpful and informative. Alexandria went above and beyond with her suggestions and directions. Very welcoming. Good location, quiet and a great value for the price.

    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.
