It was a wonderful experience - a unique place in the heart of old town, with a very attentive and friendly owner and special ambiance.

arte vida is a magic place where we found relax, worderful taste and quiet. the manager Herbert was incredibily kind , helpful and very professional. there’s a lovely garden too just in front of the wiindow of Mozart house where you could listen his piano if you just try to jump in the past with your imagination. the position is so strategic you’re just in the center of salzburg but the place is peaceful as well.

we loved the location- it s so close to everything.. the bus stop, the shops and restaurants. We could walk to just about every where and if we needed to take the bus, the bus stop was just round the corner .. literally.

Unfortunately it was very hot when we stayed and in a loft apartment with no AC it meant sleep was very difficult. But we knew this when we booked, we just didn’t predict a heat wave!

Amazing location and great host!

Excellent location for visiting the old part of Salzburg as well as doing day trips out of the city. Everything the standard tourist would wish to visit, was within walking distance. Extremely friendly and helpful host, Herbert. Communal breakfast and lounge area was great. The type of clientele means that there is no late night gathering in the communal space. Indeed, I think clients were asked to vacate that area by a certain time in the evening. We would not hesitate in staying here again. Perfect for us.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Herbert is a kind and attentive host, and the room itself was quite spacious. Ours (the Bali room) offered a loft area for sleeping and adjacent private restroom. There is a well-stocked community kitchen, drinks and light breakfast items available for purchase and a nice garden courtyard tucked away inside the property. The location is perfect, as you're only a few short minutes' walk from many of Salzburg's key sites - Mirabellgarten, Mozart's former residence and birthplace, Kapuzinerkloster, Residenzplatz, Mozartplatz, Salzburg Cathedral, Fortress Hohensalzburg, Salzach river walk etc. Makartplatz bus stop is right around the corner, which services several bus lines and provides connections all over town. If timed correctly, you can get from your room to Salzburg Hauptbahnhof (via Makartplatz bus stop) in under 10 minutes. Highly recommended for a couples (or small group) getaway!

There was nothing we didnt like. It was extraordinarily hot while we were there and the studio had a fan but as expected, it was warm!

Excellent location. Central with a beautiful view. Quiet at night with pleasant street noises during the day and evening. Superb host who was thoughtful, helpful and lovely to talk to.

This place was the perfect home away from home, located right in the heart of Salzburg, steps from everything we wanted to see. Great attention to detail, use of a good kitchen and comfy lounge.

Our room, Bali, was the smallest of the rooms and nice, we just had a touch of envy for the other ones.

The exotic theme and furnishings made our stay even more memorable. Location is amazing. Facilities are extensive, Hubert is helpful, friendly and just a good person; a mensch.

nothing!

Herbert was a fantastic host and really friendly. The hotel was in a great location, just a stone's throw from all the sites of Salzburg, and near plenty of bars and restaurants. Despite being opposite a restaurant, we never had problems with noise. The room was huge and nicely decorated. The communal kitchen was very well-stocked, and the tea/coffee, milk, drinks, and breakfast that you could purchase were a nice touch. If we went back to Salzburg I would definitely stay here again!

the loft is not very practical for getting up and tending to a young child.

loved the decor and the location.

Nothing. All perfect!

Location was perfect and central to everything. Herbert was an excellent host and was so welcoming and friendly and also gave us lots of information about the city. The whole guesthouse was spotless and loved that everything was explained in detail so there was no second guessing anything!

Payment was a big awkward, it's cash only under 200 euros, so I had to withdraw cash despite having the amount already blocked (pre-authorised) on the card, annoying if you have a pre-paid card doing the FX conversion from your domestic currency. Shower was a bit small.

Excellent location, nearby restaurants, very close to the 10 bus stop to go to the airport (across the bridge). Host was very friendly and responsive by emails when needed and let us check-in and check-out early. Rooms was very big and bed was amazing (bedding you'd expect in a 5* hotel). Interior design was really nice and different from usual or more boring hotels. There was some books/games available in the living room for guests to use.

As long as you don’t mind stairs there is nothing to dislike.

The property manager Herbert was the very best! he went out of his way to make sure we had what we needs and helped me with all of questions. he was gracious and kind. The property was in a wonderful location and a good price for an apartment that had a great kitchen and bathroom with laundry appliance. It was clean and comfortable.

I didn’t like the shower. It’s ridiculous to have to continuously press a button to get water every minute. Not having a permanent wall to separate the shower with the rest of the bathroom makes it impossible to not flood the entire bathroom floor. Having the entire floor wet after taking a shower makes for a very uncomfortable experience trying to dry your feet and get dressed.

I liked the location.

Everything OK

Nice apartment in a perfectly central position. Very nice staff. Ideal for families.

3rd floor without elevator would not fit everyone but other rooms are in lower level so it is recommended to verify your room floor

Team was great Beautiful large and unique room great location
