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.

Daniela welcomed us to the property and ran through important information upon check in. On the second evening of our stay, they were thoughtful enough to leave a basket of fresh towels and tissue paper outside our apartment. We didn’t need it however since the apartment was well-stocked and felt we didn’t need a change of towels. The property is conveniently located right in front of a bus stop that takes you to the city center in about 20 minutes. The bus runs every 15 minutes or so. The property also has terraces which give you a beautiful view of the mountains and grassland/farm land. Also just realized as I’m reviewing the property that they were lovely enough to have given us a room upgrade.

Pension Katrin offers a quiet location in the green district of Nonntal, only 1 km from Salzburg’s old town. Wi-Fi access and parking are available free of charge.

This family-run bed and breakfast offers bright rooms with cable TV and minibar.

The single room was quiet and cosy but spacy, as well as the bathroom, which was perfectly clean. The bed was very comfy. The owner, Mrs. Sandra, was friendly and helpful. The accomodation is close to the centre by foot and the walk takes you around the fortress hill straight to the lively streets of the old town. The breakfest was wide-ranging. I enjoyed the family atmosphere of the pension.

Frühstückspension Helmhof offers rooms with balconies, an outdoor pool, and free parking in a quiet location in the district of Liefering. Salzburg’s old town is only a few minutes away.

The bright, traditionally furnished rooms are all non-smoking . 2 restaurants serving Austrian cuisine are only a few steps away from Pension Helmhof.

Very nice and cozy guesthouse. From the moment you arrive, you feel welcome. A wonderful hostess who talks to every guest and gives valuable suggestions. Good standard breakfast with nice service accents. The room is spacious and comfortable, a nice balcony where you can relax and enjoy peace. the guesthouse is located in an area of private houses, which gives you the opportunity to enjoy peace. If you travel by car, this is a wonderful choice. If you use public transport, it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the stop, and only about 10-15 minutes to the old town.

Each room at Pension Elisabeth - Rooms & Apartments offers satellite TV and a work desk. Some rooms are equipped with air conditioning. Some have a shared bathroom and toilet.

The facilities are really top-notch and for an affordable price! I especially liked the free coffee/tea bar and key card access which is efficient.

    The location is easily accessible by bus and then a very short walk. Nice family neighbourhood, away from the touristy crowd. There is a vast ground behind the house from where you can see the mountains and the cityscape. There are some nice food places between 10-20 minutes walking distance. Host is very nice and friendly, she gives tips for things to do in the city. Breakfast is amazing! House is clean and cheaper than most places in the city center.

    The location is perfect, quiet but not far from the city centre. We could reach most of the sights on foot. The host was kind, we received all the information on time. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The view from the rooftop is gorgeous. We will return for sure.

    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.

    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.
