Bristol Salzburg

Great building and location, outstanding service and not to forget the cosy piano bar.

The Hotel was very centrally located for walks and activities, and the rooms were very clean and nicely furnished. The staff were efficient and warm throughout the hotel, with a particularly smiley lady in charge of housekeeping. I would not class this as a five star hotel though. Whilst it tried hard to aspire to be a five star (and was quite expensive) it just didn’t have the facilities, style or ambience. Breakfast was disappointing. Grubby glasses, flies on the food and not a huge choice. Whilst listening to pan pipe versions of Bryan Adam’s and Celine Dion. Whilst not within the hotels control, be aware that the church bells start at 7am and are very loud.

7 years since our last stay and we were very happy to be back again. Great, historical location, (Christopher Plummer once led a sing-a-long from the hotel bar piano), just a minute walk from Mirabell gardens and 5 minutes from the old town/shopping district. Saw some scaffolding in front of the hotel, so i guess a little freshening up is going on, but couldn’t see it from our front-facing room, which was quiet and comfortable with a large, luxurious bathroom. Lovely staff, good breakfast, good dinner. Felt safe wandering around after dark. Plenty of good places to eat on our side of the river. Note: the convenience/grocery stores close around 6 or7, so if you get hungry for a snack after then, I hope you like take-away pizza or a good hike. Would gladly return.
