    Lovely stay in a family farm pension with delicious breakfast.

    The pension is located in a farm in a countryside neighborhood, and is easily reachable with the train from Salzburg, or even walking in 45 min. The family who takes care of the pension is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is great, with natural products from surrounding farms. The room was very comfortable and perfectly clean. I highly recommend.

    It's an old house, hence no elevator. Completely understandable, still quite some work to get the 20 kg suitcase up the second floor. But again, that's what you get when you book a stay in an old farm house rather than a modern hotel.

    Excellent service, big room with balcony, spacious bathroom. Vast breakfast buffet. All for a very reasonable price.

    Close to Salzburg town. Can easily take Bus or Bike to Salzburg. Nice cute old Farmhouse/Guesthouse. Has coziness flair to it. Good for those wanting to relax and explore the area. breakfast was delicious and very homely.

    Not much I didn’t like. Just some milk in the fridge outside the rooms would have meant I could have had tea whenever I wanted. Also fans in toilets/bathrooms.

    The most homey feel. Great staff. Wonderful breakfast. Warm. Comfortable beds.

    I am a light sleeper and unfortunately, this cannot be helped but sounds carried, such as a nearby bell chiming each hour from outside. So I didn't sleep as well as I usually would

    The pension was very clean and tidy and the owner was very friendly and welcoming! She very kindly gifted a little homemade jam when leaving, and it was delicious! The breakfast was great, felt cosy, the coffee was good and the food varied :) very pleasant!

    My only grievance is the need to blow dry my hair in the hallway because the bathroom outlet could not accommodate the proper voltage. I should have asked for an extension cord.

    Pension Helmhof was just as we had hoped! Charming and homey. Clean and comfortable. Perfectly situated in a quant, quiet village an easy bus ride from Old Town Salzburg. Andrea is a very kind and attentive hostess , always making sure we had what we needed. The breakfast spread was quite the delightful epicurean experience! We would highly recommend staying here!

    It's a lovely place which has a cosy atmosphere. The rooms are clean and comfortable. It's situated in a picturesque place which is great for a walk. Beautiful views from the balcony. The owner is very helpful and caring. Breakfast was lovely, served in pretty cups and plates. You can have your breakfast in a lovely garden outside or in cosy inside rooms inside. The house is well looked after, and attention to detail is impressive. Homemade apricot smoothy/juice is very tasty. We would like to stay there again.

    Only downside is that the bus is until around 23:00 and afterwards you need to take a taxi (around 10 euros from city center) or walk around 45mins if you like it.

    A perfect family hotel run by the same family since 60s. very clean and with a very good breakfast. It is not in city center but close to the city and you can go with a single bus. Owners are very helpful about everything and the details they have are amazing. You will eat perfectly boiled eggs everyday.

    The best I could ask to receive an authentic/original Austrian stay. I recommend this place.

    There is a church bell that begins ringing at 4am, due to the old Austrian traditions of waking at 4am and going to bed at 7pm. It then rings on the hour, there after. Not so great when you are a light sleeper. Also, there is no air con, which is fine if you are staying when the weather isn't hot. We had one day that was very hot and there was no fan or air con to cool down, after a hot, humid day, only could open the door/window.

    This is a lovely place to stay if you are after a true Austrian homestay feel. The dining room is decked out traditionally, with fresh bread, rolls and croissants daily for breakfast, home laid eggs, and homemade jams and spreads. The room was very lovely and clean and our hostess was very helpful. It really was a lovely view from the balcony, too.

    Right from the entrance of the hotel, it was amazing. I was mesmerized with the location and the locality. It is a perfect weekend retreat to have a stay and feel rejuvenated. The interiors of the hotel was fully Austrian and the vibe of ground floor reception and kitchen was just awesome. Really warm and cosy, perfectly depicting the culture and its diversity. The rooms were cosy too with all enriching facilities and the French window opening to the beautiful mountain sunrise was just magical. I am a mountain lover and I would visit and recommend this place to all fellow travelers. Little far from the center, but gives totally a countryside vibe and vibrant energy. And most importantly, the owners were super friendly and behaved like a family.

    The property was great. The street that runs in front of the property has more traffic than I’d expected at night.,

    the building was charming, and it was nice to have seating areas around the property and even a pool.
