A beautifully refurbished and modern hotel - almost minimalist in its furnishing style but done well so as to set off its clean functional nature. Our room was an excellent base from which to explore all of Salzburg's attractions and close to many good dining out options. Breakfast was excellent - continental buffet style with addition of eggs done which... More

Great location. Right in the centre of Salzburg. The room was quite basic and the mattress, although not uncomfortable was quite firm. The bathroom had a good shower. No English TV channels though. For the price we paid i would have expected bathrobes and slippers. They provide a very basic set of toiletries. Breakfast was Ok, not the best we... More

The Art Hotel is a very welcoming place. From the entrance to the room everybody is polite and very helpful. The décor is superb and the rooms and public areas very clean. We had a beautiful view from our room and the breakfast in bed was delicious :). What more can I say...we loved the place and hope to return... More

Blaue Gans is perfectly located. It is one of the oldest hotels I have ever stayed at and they have renovated it perfectly. The rooms are immaculate and well appointed. Modern and filled (along with the halls) with interesting modern art. The staff was generally helpful but not every member was as friendly as I have become accustomed. The restaurant... More

Reasonably sized rooms, well appointed, nice modern design, all shoehorned into a very old building filled with character and centrally located on the main pedestrianised shopping street. Double casement windows kept the slight street noise well in check and the breakfast was very good. What else could you want? If it is dinner, then there are many options nearby, but... More

Austrians are not friendly? Well, I will not direct comments towards our American friends feeling like that, but perhaps the European honesty and straightforwardness can be disconcerting :-). This said, Art Hotel Blaue Gans is perfectly located at the entrance of the Getreidegasse just beside overpriced and overrated Goldener Hirsch Hotel (a Starwoof luxury collection hotel). This is a property... More

We loved this hotel. Austrians are not overly friendly, but that doesn't mean they are unaccommodating. We loved this Inn. It made us feel special, because it was intimate and lovely, while having some history in the region.

Lovely reception staff, beautiful clean hotel. The rooms were all individually styled and very modern. Good WiFi in the rooms. We ate at the restaurant one evening as well and the food was wonderful. The main attraction for this hotel is the street that it is based on. Right in the old part of town, lots of shops, bars and... More
