Gästehaus im Priesterseminar Salzburg

Excellent place to stay when visiting Salzburg. I truly enjoyed it. Very spacious, super clean, quiet place to stay. Walking distance to activities in Salzburg. Very good breakfast included. Central location.

Very central and close to lots of touristy historique sites and also the river. Stayed here 5th to7th of September 2022. The building is majestic as it’s a church. You are really close to everything ( railway station as well as mirabelle garden and palace , buses to go to other places etc), restaurants, old town , Mozart house . My room was towards the street but still quiet. This is not a luxury place but very clean with high ceilings and a small adequate shower . No Tv ( didn’t mind ) kettle with tea which was not refurbished.Breakfast was buffet with lots of choices. Reason I removed one star : when arrived the 1st lady with dark hair was grumpy and not welcoming , 2nd lady with lighter hair more hospitable but what bothered me was that due to a ceremony or technical issues?? My 2 days stay had to become even shorter without prior notice as they were asking me to check out at 9:00 am in the morning on my departure day . So had to rush for breakfast etc. Additionally , contrary to what some other people experienced as per the reviews ,they refused to hold my luggage for a few more hours (not in a nice way). Overall, worth the price due to location if they don’t give you short notice .

This must be one of Salzburg's best kept secrets! Located in a beautiful Baroque building, one enters through a massive wooden door into a beautiful courtyard. The whole place oozes atmosphere and yet is spotlessly clean with modern touches such as a very efficient lift to the upper floors. Our room on the second floor was relatively compact but contained all essentials and was serviced daily. Ear plugs are supplied which might be necessary in the height of the season when the bars and restaurants in the street below might get noisy into the early hours but in early October this was not a problem. The bells in the adjoining church did however, provide a 7am alarm call! Breakfast was relatively basic but plentiful with a choice of cereals, fruit, cheese, ham and cake. Apart from the beautiful building, what makes this place so special, given its very reasonable room rates, is its location - a 5 minute walk across the river into the old town and a 3 minute walk to the Mirabelle Gardens and the plaza where many of the tours depart. Should we return to Salzburg we would not hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommended!

The hotel is in a great location in a beautiful old building with nice staff and a lovely resident cat. Communication is rather poor however and it is clearly not a good choice for families. I asked for 2 rooms close together as we are a family with 2 adults & 4 children. The rooms were about 5 minutes walk apart & when I queried it the staff said there weren’t any of the triple room types near each other. I think I should have been told this when I asked about it on booking. The hotel was also advertised to have washing facilities but the machine was broken and I was told it had been broken for ‘about 2 months.’ I feel I should have been told about this as well as it was one of the main reasons I booked this hotel. There was of course no offer to reimburse laundromat fees. The additional charges per child are rather steep too. I tried to book for 6 people but only 3 of the children appeared on the booking. I notified the hotel as soon as I noticed & was informed it would be an extra 204 Euro for my 9 year old child to be added to the booking! This was changed to 100 Euro when I queried it - still a lot extra to pay for a child when I had already paid for a triple occupancy room (unfortunately under non-refundable conditions)

I loved staying in the seminary during my recent visit to salzburg; it felt very different to staying in a typical hotel. The building is stunning and it was lovely to wake up to the sound of church bells and walk through the beautiful courtyard every day. The location could not be better - a short walk from both the old town and the train station. It was also only a 1 min walk from the departure point of many local tours (eg sound of music, eagles nest). I stayed in a double room, which was spotlessly clean and had lots of space. Small pots of homemade jam left on the bed as a welcome gift was a nice touch. There are communal kitchen spaces which means you don’t necessarily have to eat out every night. The only downside was that the room backed on to a busy street with many restaurants. At night it was extremely noisy until around 1am. The windows did keep the noise out, however it was very warm weather and there is no air conditioning so the windows had to be open. Thankfully earplugs were provided. The breakfast was a bit limited compared to other places I have stayed in Austria but what was available was delicious. It was also nice to be able to eat it in the courtyard. Overall, I highly recommend this as a place to stay in Salzburg. It is a great location and somewhere that provides a bit of a different experience. It is a bit basic but doesn’t pretend to be otherwise and is really excellent value for money. I will definitely go back!

A lovely experience. The reception staff was friendly and helpful. The building a gorgeous historical building with tons of character (huge wooden doors, wrought iron gates, cobbled courtyard). We stayed in two family rooms, one older on the lower floor and we had family members in a second newer room on an upper floor. I personally liked the older room better, it felt more spacious and had a bit more atmosphere but both very nice. The family room consisted of two rooms, one large bed in one room and a fold out couch in the other. Both spaces were very roomy with great clothes storage options. High ceilings with large windows made it bright and airy. No aircon but there were two large floor fans and I never felt too warm as the evening were cool. Our rooms faced the alley where there were outdoor restaurants but I can honestly say that I was not bothered by any noise. Breakfast was served indoors or you could sit out in the peaceful courtyard with a fountain. Plenty of choices without being overly fussy. The place felt very secure and was located in the perfect location for touring Salzburg, we walked everywhere including the train station and nothing was further then a 15 minute walk. This place has all the charm of a quaint European inn without making you feel awkward if you are not on your honeymoon. Also, that little jar of raspberry jam they gift you, absolutely the best jam I've ever had.

This was a total suprise! Amazing place to stay in Salzburg. Spacious building with historic value. Large hallways, nicely decorated, even with some antique furniture. Bright rooms, high ceilings. Good clean bathrooms. Very good breakfast included. Closer to activity in Salzburg - walking distance to the old town and other places to visit.

Beautiful hotel with everything you need for a great stay. As soon as you walk out the front gate you are into the best part of Salzburg with plenty of shops and restaurants. Big rooms with big bathrooms and a great breakfast each morning. Big bang for your buck in Salzburg.
