Hotel Stein  

Its position

Highly over priced. No tea, coffee in room Towells very small. No bathroom products except basic hand.body wash. Only continental breakfast available. Breakfast staff not able to cope with amount of people. Roof resturant now closed during the day. Decorating loby outside of our room, smell of paint and noise from workmen.

Great central location with a fantastic view from the rooftop bar. Very comfortable bed.

The room we were allocated didn't seem to bear any resemblence to the pictures shown on Booking.Com or the hotel's own website. When questioned about this, the hotel staff did their best to find us a similar room but did say that the pictures on their website were not necessarily indicative of all rooms. On one of the nights during our three night stay there was an exceptionally noisy 'club' night held on the rooftop terrace which ran on until 3am and resulted in us having a very disturbed night.

The staff was very nice and the location is great.

They had a party on the roof top and the noise half the night was not acceptable.

I chose the Stein for its location and the price. It is a walk across the bridge to the old town and just ten minutes by city bus from the train station. The Stern is a lovely and charming little mid-priced hotel with five-star service and quality. I chose to stay in a single and it was plush and modern. The room was narrow, but it had a wooden floor and rustic furniture and a full-sized bathroom. The bed was very comfortable with oversize pillows. There was also a very nice leather chair to sit in. Lighting was excellent for reading. The big plus was the air conditioner. It worked very well. The wifi, though paid, was fast. Free wifi and a computer were available in the lobby. The terrace has a wonderful view. Be aware it has somewhat of a dress code, I.E., don't show up in sports gear or sports shoes. Some reviewers have complained about noise from the streets, but I found my first floor room to have good sound insulation.

I wish they'd found a way to squeeze in a small desk or shelf to use my laptop. There were no English language channels on tv considering the overall high quality of the hotel. There also was no mini-bar, but the receptionist explained that they offer 24 hour room service for drinks.

Location was fantastic! The view out my window was of the old city and river. It was only a short walk from the hotel to pretty much any important location in the city. Staff were excellent.

The bathroom definitely had a bad smell, not due to cleanliness issues, but the water.

Roof top cafe bar had great buzz and stunning views

In need of refurbishment

Location is fanfastic, just overlooking the river to the Alt Stadt. The rooftop terrace has excellent views overlooking the old town and has a romantic charm about it. The breakfast spread was excellent, more sophisticated than I expected.

The decor is wrong. It is too dark and has the wrong colour combinations. I was in a single room which was long and narrow, and to have dark mauve walls just brings the room in, instead of making it feel wider and bigger.

The terrace bar and cocktails were excellent.

The staff were just not helpful nor engaging. The hotel is very transient due to the popularity of the terrace bar.

Location, ambience

No minibar in the room, a lot of stairs

Very close to the old town of Salzburg. Modern design.

Breakfast was far too expense at 19€. The parquet floor had some spots that indicated it had not been cleaned.

Great central location (just a short walk to the old town and shopping streets) with a fantastic view from our room and from the rooftop bar. The room and the bathroom are very large, clean and confortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was very good. A szálloda nagyon jó helyen található (csak egy rövid sétára van az óváros és a Getreidegasse). A szobánkból gyönyörű kilátás nyílt az erődre. A személyzet nagyon segítőkész és barátságos volt. A reggeli szerintem megéri az árát már csak a választék miatt is, na meg a kilátás sem utolsó.

The room was lovely and very clean (the maid came both mornings and we were only staying for 2 nights). The staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. The Rooftop Terrace Bar was beautiful both at night and during the day. The location was superb, just a short walk to the old town and shopping streets. If we return to Salzburg we will definitely consider the Hotel Stein, I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

However the view from the window was not the best (a brick wall). For the price we paid we did expect a slightly better room, however it was still very nice.
