Wonderful family trip
My husband, my almost 4-year-old, and I stayed in a city flat. It was a very lovely room with lots of space for everyone. My in-laws stayed in a more standard room and were very pleased with the size of the room and the bathroom. All staff (reception, restaurant, and cleaning staff) were very helpful and pleasant. The building was charming with many of interesting, old features mixed with modern elements. The location was also perfect- next to the bus stop to go to the airport and right in the heart of the old town. If back in Salzberg, I would definitely stay here again. The entire family had nothing but good things to say about this hotel.

Will Stay Again!
A fabulous time! Next time we're in Salzburg, we're staying at Blaue Gans again. Excellent location, great rooms, great service - truly no complaints!
Plus, lots of fun and interesting art throughout the hotel and the hotel library was a charming touch.

Fantastic hotel in the old town. Great location that is walking distance to museums, theatres, christmas markets, shopping, cafes and restaurants. Room was a good size, clean and comfortable. Design and decoration of the room and hotel was very nice. It was a bit hectic finding a spot to pull over to check in and take in our bags as this is a very busy area. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking is in a public garage up the street but the staff hepled guide us. Hotel gives a decent discount on the parking fee.
Overall, 5 stars. Would definitely stay here again.

Was just OK. Was left wanting more from this hotel. Room was always cold despite calling down twice, they remote monitor temperature. The service and quality was more of a 3 star level than that of a 4 star.
Location was fantastic but the details of the stay at this hotel missed the mark.

Ok, nice location, great Breakfast options, and great internet access. Room was small, and no desk or Fridge, made it very-very hard to work from it.
The biggest drawback was reception was unhelpful, for simple requests, not what one expects from a 4 star hotel.
Now I know the location is very-very good, but the room was down right tiny and the lack of a desk and fridge made far less enjoyable than it could have been, there was not even a chair. I was a single in a double room, but 2 people could not have been comfortable in the space as I was unable to even unpack a single bag.

This space is beautiful!!! We had a studio room and it felt like an adventure going through the different halls and stairwells in the historic old building! Our room was quiet, clean, and extremely comfortable! The location was incredible in relation to sites we wanted to see, with gorgeous walks to the sites. Many good options nearby for food, again within easy walkable distance. We will definitely stay here again if/when we return to Salzburg!

This hotel would be my "go to" if I ever return to Saltzburg.
My only critique would be the parking situation. They do not really have valet service. We left our vehicle at the front door when we arrived and it eventually got put into a parking lot. When we were ready to leave, they had to pull someone from the kitchen to retrieve our car!!! Really?

Hotel is nice but the service is terrible.
The woman at the checkin was terrible. She didn't provide any information about the hotel except for which elevator to use. I had to ask about breakfast and she didn't even understand the beverage credit that was offered as a silver member. Then I was told the bar/restaurant wasn't open this day so they couldn't even provide the voucher. I was offered a small bottle of prosecco but that would not have been my choice and clearly cost less than what was offered in the ad. When I arrived for breakfast, I was told i could sit anywhere so I picked a table. I went to the buffet but couldn't find coffee and was approached where it was explained that I order at the table. Sorry but this hotel has terrible organization. Why didn't the guy at the entrance explain this? Do hotels not understand that this ruins the entire experience for their guests?
