Staff was extremely lovely. Breakfast was great! A few tweaks - change the light sensor in the room WCs to a night light and where the guest can turn on/off the light in case of nighttime visits - bright light hard to get back to sleep. It was a great hotel and would highly recommend to anyone! We loved it.

A very comfortable and well appointed hotel in an idyllic location. The room was spacious and well designed with a large bathroom and separate sitting area. We loved the history of the hotel and position opposite the horse pond and backing on to the shopping street. I highly recommend this hotel.

We had a delightful stay at this place. The staff were wonderful and the room spacious, clean and attractive. The hallways are worth walking around in both because of the building itself and also the art work.

This hotel is easy to find, excellent restaurant in front of the hotel ..on the street/ patio. The reception was very helpful with our train and bus schedules. She went out of her way. Could speak English which was helpful to us. The room is very clean and quiet. We had the breakfast which was delicious but to be honest expensive. But it is a buffet so you could eat to get your value. You could skip lunch. No problem walking around to see the sites. Highly recommend this hotel !

This property is situated in a very prime location and it’s a quick walk to most of the touristy points. It’s an old building with too many steps and one will need to deal with hauling their heavy bags/suitcases. Overall a beautiful place to stay in and with super friendly staff.

Driving a rental car, probably you are coming into Old Town Salzburg thru the tunnel. Just as you emerge from the tunnel there is a traffic light. Turn left. Immediately on your right is the BLUE exterior of the Blaue Gans (blue goose) hotel. There is a back in car unloading spot for one, maximum 2 cars. Don’t miss this! You will be right outside the reception desk. The nice folks there will tell you all about the relatively nearby paid parking.
