Hotel Salzburger Hof

Cozy hotel with very good food, but poor cleaning and lack of air conditioning.

For an upcoming trip this month we had booked 7 nights at this hotel, standard double room with half board. A few days ago I saw an offer to upgrade the room to a “comfort double room” for a small fee. Said and done, I paid and received a confirmation that my upgrade was complete. On more careful examination, I discovered that half-board had been removed and replaced with breakfast! In order to get half board, the hotel demanded a surcharge on the price even though I had already paid for this. I then asked for my “old” booking back but the hotel refused this. My action was to cancel my booking and book a nice room at another hotel. Hotel Salzburger Hof uses methods similar to fraud.

We stayed at the hotel June 20-27. It is a hotel dating back to beautiful and well preserved. We stayed in a double room and it was quite generous in size. It was comfortable if slightly hard mattresses for our taste. The room was nicely decorated, and with a fresh bathroom with bath/shower. Our package included breakfast and a five-course dinner. The food was very good. The breakfast had everything you could wish for and the dinners were fantastically well prepared. For starters, a buffet of salads was served, supplemented each day with three to four different delicacies, often based on a specific theme such as Italy, Asia or Austria. Already here you could eat more than full. Then a soup was served. The main course and dessert were almost fine dining. Between main course and dessert, you were served a cheese buffet. The staff were friendly, service minded and behaved professionally. In addition to the rooms, the nice dining room and the fantastic food, we also had access to the hotel's spa area. There we spent an hour in the hot tub and sauna every afternoon! We are very pleased with our week in Bad Gastein and the stay at the Salzburger Hof. We can nothing but recommend a visit here.
