"Couldn’t ask for a better spot to explore Salzburg. The hotel is located next to Herbert von Karajan Square. A bus stop is literally right outside the hotel entrance. And an entrance on the other end of the hotel opens onto the main pedestrian shopping street (Getreidegasse). The entire hotel staff was amazing. Months before our arrival they assisted with restaurant reservations, provided lots of great information and sent us Salzburg mobility passes a few days before arriving. The Mobility Pass provides free use of transportation through your stay ( download the app - great real-time info on buses and routes). We used the bus from the train station, numerous times to get to Mirabell Palace and to the airport to rent a car for a couple of days. If you opt for a car rental and need parking, try Altstadtgarage garage A. It’s an underground garage. A 5 minute walk thru a pedestrian tunnel gets you right to the hotel. They also have discounted rates at the hotel if you park in the garage. We had room 101 which overlooked the Horse Pond at Herbert von Karajan Square (scene from Sound of Music). Double windows in the room, so the street noise is not an issue. The breakfast buffet was fantastic. Plus a menu to order eggs,etc… We tried poached eggs one morning and the Austrian pancake (crepe) another. Both were excellent. Plenty of choices. We also had dinner at the hotel one night. The chef does a great job. I had the octopus entree and my wife the trout. After a couple of traditional Austrian dinners (meat), we wanted for something different. Both were exceptional!"

"I did a lot of online research before choosing this hotel. It was perfect. We had a fantastic stay at the hotel. We came to celebrate our anniversary. The front desk personnel were kind and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. The buffet had a nice variety of food and we could order off the menu as well. The location is perfect in the old town close to everything. Our room was clean and comfortable. I would 100% stay there again."

"We are currently nearly at the end of a nine day stay at the Blaue Ganz. We are having a very awesome time here. The room is extremely clean and the breakfasts are very yummy. The rooms are quite expensive. All staff are very helpful and I feel that I am able to ask for most things just by contacting reception. I would recommend this hotel because it has so many positives, location being one of them. Very enjoyable stay here in Salzburg. Vielen dank alle! 🙂"

"We stayed here for three nights at the beginning of March. Unfortunately they were carrying out maintenance work at the time and for two of our days the restaurant was closed and the morning buffet breakfast was changed to table service. However we were very well taken care of and every effort was made to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We were given an upgrade to a suite as a form of compensation. The room was lovely, quaint and olde worldly with plenty of space even though we were in the attic. The hotel itself was bang smack in the middle of the old town and oozing character. I would highly recommend a stay here. You may pay a little extra but you do get your money’s worth."
