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.

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.

Andrea and family make sure you have a homely and comfortable experience. The rooms are big and could easily accomodate the baby crib. There is a big childrens park next door and lots of farm animals in the neighborhood- so our 2 year old was happy. Also the breakfast was sumptous and our vegetarian needs were well taken care.

    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.
