Hotel Goldener Hirsch, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Salzburg

Stayed here three nights and I wished it was longer! It took a while for our room to be ready, but that gave us the opportunity to try their restaurant for lunch. It was good. We also enjoyed the hotel bar, especially Patrick the bartender. He was excellent, and so friendly. Our room was spacious and had lovely traditional Swiss decor, with the modern conveniences, too. Enjoyed opening the windows for some fresh air, and the bed was very comfortable. Loved the under-cabinet motion-sensor footlights! So helpful when getting up early and not wanting to turn on overhead lights or lamps. Why don’t more hotels do this?!? The high-end coffee/espresso machine was much appreciated, too. Breakfasts were delicious and plentiful, with attentive service. Perfect location, great staff and amenities. Can’t wait to return!!

I just completed a five-night stay at Hotel Goldener Hirsch in Salzburg, and it was fantastic. The hotel’s location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of the Old City, making it easy to walk to nearly all the major attractions. From check-in to check-out, everything was seamless. The staff was warm, gracious, and always helpful. Our room was spacious, beautifully appointed, and full of rustic charm that added to the overall experience. I highly recommend Hotel Goldener Hirsch to anyone visiting Salzburg.

This is a very friendly hotel in a great location.

New and really tastefully decorated… great restaurant and bar and wonderfully attentive staff. Location is superb right in the centre of Salzburg.

There is no gym - I asked but was told that when the building was put up in the 14th century gyms weren’t that popular. Fair point I suppose. Parking is close to the property … a five minute walk. If it’s raining not great. We parked the car and forgot about it for two days and wheeled our bags over to the hotel easily.

Location on the main street in old town made all the sights easily walkable. After 5:00 it seems like we had the city to ourselves.

Street is very busy with tourists during the day but they vanish after 5:00 and it quiets down.

Location

To get to our room was a bit complicated and many steps up

We stayed here three nights during the Rupert Festival. The location of this hotel and the level of service they provide is beyond compare. I am a Marriott Titanium member so that may be a factor in my visit - but only a small one. This was my third visit to Salzburg and my second to the hotel - we were hear for the Christmas markets in November. My stay before that was at the Sheraton when they still gave Titanium members access to the lounge. The Sheraton now has a very mediocre lounge for elite members so I wont be returning. And I can see no reason to with how nice Hotel Goldner Hirsch is. We were upgraded to a very nice junior suite on the backside of the hotel - had there not been so much construction outside it would have an amazing view - but they cant control that and I have no complaints at all. Considering the festival was on I did not expect an upgrade - so I really appreciate that. At check in we received an invite to the bar for two free drinks and a small treat. You can use it between 2-4 any night of your stay. The hotel itself is a little quirky and takes some getting used to - for example there are two elevators to get up to your room in some cases. Once you get used to it its not an issue. The lights in the room can also be very confusing - there are many light switches and some motion activated lights - never fully figured it all out - but its an old historic building so to be expected. Its part of the coolness of it. Its location is a very short walk to most things for example Mozarts house, the main square and Augustiner Bräu Mülln. I don't think the location can be beat. The breakfast is a bit pricey at 50 euros a person, but book a rate that includes it - its a great breakfast and great service. Luckily with Titanium I get it for free. they have all the standard stuff as well as a small menu with things like crepes, eggs benedict and waffles. Make sure to order from the menu. In addition on my last day we were getting a train to Nurnberg and they gave us to go boxes so we could make a sandwich to take with us - that came in very handy and I really appreciate it. Looking forward to my next visit - I will be back and this is where I plan to stay.

Big room and great location

Superbly appointed rooms with beautiful traditional furnishings. Extremely comfortable. Staff and service extremely helpful. Delightful ambience.

We booked this hotel for its location in Salzburg as well as being a Marriott hotel. The rooms were classic Austrian, but with modern conveniences. Very clean with a very friendly staff. We did not eat in the restaurant, but had a few beers in the small but well equipped bar. Old hotel with many great quirky hallways. We would stay there again. The most impressive part of our stay was Anja who was a front desk staff member, she was so helpful & kind, we wanted to go for a day trip to lake Wolfgansee but with little knowledge of how to get there, Anja helped make our day spectacular ! Thank you for going above & beyond Anja.
