Amazing location but expensive for standard room :(
My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel in mid August 2010 during our Euro trip. This was the most expensive hotel we had to stay in and basically there were no other options and this looked the best. We booked a month before travelling so there was no other choice so we were quite disappointed to pay 80-90 EUR a night for a very simple and basic standard room that only had beds and a small cupboard for few clothes. We had a lovely view from our window - full greenery of the garden of the hotel...
Buffet breakfast that was included in the hotel price was lovely! Similar to the one in Vienna with lots of cheeses and cold cuts so i loved making sandwiches with tea in the morning.
Fantastic location. Lots of restaurant choices on this side of town although we spent more days on the old town (hotels in old town were more expensive though).
The castle is so close and lovely for a nice hike all the way up around sunset time. We had a nice coffee and beer in the restaurants upstairs and a lovely walk around the castle. You get a good view of the Untersberg mountain which we also visited with the cable car one of the days. Best is to buy the card bus pass cause it allowed u to get on and off the buss around the city and to the mountain. read more
