to get started.

The hotel was beautiful with an excellent location. Our room overlooked the Mirabell Gardens and was quite spacious. This historic hotel was very nicely renovated. Most of the staff was quite nice.

Bristol hotel has a very warm and friendly front desk, the service is instant and attentive. Location is great, and the breakfast is very tasty, great place!

The breakfast service was spot on. They were great and the selection was nice. They even make eggs to order, which was nice. The bathroom was clean although the plumbing maintenance should be looked after. The shower couldn't keep the temperature constant so it varied from warm to cold to warm in the shower. Having similar problems before in our hotel in Dubrovnik, Croatia, I would advise they need to balance the water pressure in the system. The bathroom radiant heating is fantastic. Kept the bathroom warm all the time. Must also compliment the professional lady who always promptly replied to any enquiry I had. Very impressive!

This is an excellent place to enjoy Salzburg from. It is an institution that has aged very well, and is run very well. Highly recommended.

The breakfast was exquisite. Crystal and sterling silver service, the freshest of fruits and baked goods, and eggs cooked to order - there was nothing more that could have been added to this exceptional breakfast.

Madeline

Hotel staff were excellent and very professional. We were checked in very efficiently. Breakfast is excellent with individual service and they can provide your every request. Location was perfect except for the absence of a river view. Our room looked out onto Markatplaz, but it was never noisy due to the double windows. We had great accessibility to all the buses and public transport.

The property is gorgeous, the staff is exceptionally professional, friendly, and service-oriented, and the location provides you with easy access to Salzburg. I was most impressed by the front desk staff, all of whom remembered my name by sight for the duration of my stay. I left my key with the front desk each time I went out and they had it ready for me to pick up as soon as I returned. The hotel and its staff clearly follows an old world approach to guest comfort and support, which has unfortuantely largely been lost in the rest of the hotel industry. The Hotel Bristol Salzburg is a worthy representative of a beautiful city within an amazing country, and I will defintely stay here again.

“We loved the location and decor but did not get to try the dining room.”
- • Leisure trip

We knew that many restaurants are closed on Sunday in Salzburg so we were looking forward to eating at the hotel dining room. Imagine our surprise when we found out the dining room is not open on Sunday. So we then tried to get a reservation for our last night there, Monday, and were told the dining room was unavailable until 8:30 PM due to being booked for a tour group. This same group descended on the breakfast buffet before we arrived on Tuesday morning and it was really picked over so we had to wait for items to be replenished.

“Historic Hotel in a Great Location! ”

It was raining when we arrived and there is no cover at the entrance for the car to park under. It was great though as the bellhop came out with an umbrella to welcome us and escort us to the lobby so that we remain dry. The bed mattress is uncomfortable. Time to buy new ones. Also may want to consider buying king mattresses instead of two singles out together. Chambermaid or laundry service should make certain that they don't leave any hair on the sheets after cleaning up.

“A bit disappointing for a supposedly 5 star hotel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
I thought the staff was not particularly friendly or helpful. The facilities are dated-the bathroom fixtures are old and the AC is a mini split that does not work well. I understnad its "charming" but there are plenty of ways to preserve charm while having some minor updates-like at least a more modern shower fixture. I found the staff not particularly friendly. They did not tell me any info at checkin and did not even help me with my bags to the taxi on leaving. Not a five star hotel at all. Its sufficient but I think Booking.com misrepresented it a bit.
I thought the location was great. It was right in the center of town across from Mozart's house.

“Outstanding hotel in Salzburg”

We stayed 3 nights at the Hotel Bristol in Salzburg and would highly recommend it. We were given an early check in which was helpful and our Junior Suite was gorgeous. It had hardwood floors, a separate sitting room, a microwave, frig, table, tub and separate shower. There were chocolates on arrival and a 10% off coupon to the Polo Lounge which we used for an outstanding dinner. The location on Markartplatz is near the bus stop. (We took bus #25 to the Hellbrunn Palace one day.) The Mozart Residenz Museum is across the square from the hotel. On nearby Linzergasse street there are great restaurants. Mirabell garden is right next door. The location was wonderful and easy to walk to the Old Town.

This is quite a formal old school hotel but none the worse for it. We were treated very well. The room was large and quiet - we had a room facing the rear. The hotel is located just over the river from the old town so easy to access and only 5 minutes walk from the pedestrian zone. The Schloss Mirabell is just around the corner. There was a comprehensive breakfast spread in a room somewhat over the top with the decoration.
