Hintersee hotels

Pros: As you would imagine with a hotel of this quality, the location and facilities are amazing. It’s the staff who really make it though. Right from walking through the door they were and are incredible and they made a special birthday trip into something even more amazing.

Pros: Everything is excellent . The room is beautiful and staff is very friendly and helpful. It is located on top of the hill but you can take the lift of the art museum down to the city center .

Cons: Only the lift has a time frame. If you want to come back after 8pm, you need a taxi.

Cons: Had gastronomie dinner (very expensive) - One if the dishes was a truffle meat dish- was offered shaves of truffles over meat but was not told that we will be charged extra for it. It’s like “would you like some black pepper?” Hidden extra cost even with breakfast.

Pros: It is a castle which has a nice atmosphere! But rooms were refurbished. The service is excellent and very helpful to help us to book activities and taxi . The room has a beautiful view of the City and impressive facilities. A small advise the breakfast could be improve with more variety and presentation!

A few minutes walk takes you to the Museum Moderne which has an elevator dropping you down in the middle of the city. There is a wonderful bar and a most excellent gourmet restaurant on premises where we enjoyed drinks and a stupendous dinner. The breakfast room tables overlook the city of Salzburg and the mountains. The staff is exceedingly friendly and helpful. The spa is beautiful and you have access to the lovely outdoor jacuzzi, steam and sauna even if you do not book a service. The suites are well appointed, comfortable and luxurious.

Cons: nothing :)

Pros: The area, the view, the fresh air, the clean rooms, the nice staff and the tasty breakfast.

Cons: There was nothing I did not like.

Pros: The nature and surroundings are beautiful. The view from the 3 bedroom was amazing! You could hear a stream, other than that a very quiet location. The breakfast was tasty. The owner let us see the animals in the stall which was fun for us.

Cons: We traveled with a 2 year old and I was looking for an accommodation with a playground. Even though we traveled in late April and it was warm, the owner said they haven't put it up yet (there were a few bits of snow on the ground). I wasn't counting on this and therefore we didn't have much to do around the house (it is quite secluded) and had to do all day trips (that were great, though). I would check before you go if this is important for you. Our double bed in the 3 bedroom was very squeaky and there was a lot of light in the morning (shades or darker curtain would help) so we all got up around 6am every day and I wish we didn't have to during our vacation. The owner doesn't really speak English.

Pros: Location is perfect!

Cons: Early checkin with child sould be possible. At least not waiting time till 3 p.m. to check-in. Nuisance!

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Location was great.Room was larger than tipical in Europe.

Pros: Such a great place to stay! Great breakfast, best I’ve had in a hotel. The dinner service was also amazing. Beds were clean and comfortable, and the staff was very friendly.

Pros: the room size and the very nice panoramic view over the city in the 6th floor restaurant where the breakfast is served

Cons: no parking

Pros: The room was very nice but we paid good money for it. Very good breakfast. 10 minutes walking distance to city sight seeing. 15 minutes from train station. And car rentals.

Cons: Even though had a air conditioning, the room intended to get hot at some time.

Pros: Hotel strategically located steps from the central bus stop and five minutes from main train station. Room was HUGE (upgraded to a "family size"), clean, comfortable. Reasonably quiet despite overlooking a main intersection. Excellent breakfast in rooftop restaurant with good view of the city. Traditional dinner was good, too. (Little mix-up on service but okay.) Staff were all very good.

Cons: Would have to hunt for negatives: There was a step down from the bathroom to the bedroom which managed to surprise me every time. Main lift/elevator quite small (but standard for European hotels).

Pros: Location and faciilities. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Pros: We really enjoyed our stay. Hochegg is a very nice place with amazing view and owners are very nice and friendly, willing to help all the time. It’s calm and cozy pleace. We highly recommend to visit it downthere.

Pros: Enjoying the country atmosphere, the beautiful surrounding villages and lakes, the super friendly host, family and people we met in the village. The peace and quiet after doing the tourist thing in Salzburg etc.

Cons: Didn't stay longer:(

Pros: This was a great base for a fabulous 3 days skiing in the Hintersee ski area. (Only 10 minutes away from Faistenau on a free ski bus). Lovely to stay in an authentic Austrian house. So quiet and great views. Good breakfast, cosy room and a couple of restaurants nearby. Easy access from Salzburg on a public bus. A perfect break.

Pros: The location and its surroundings are very beautiful and the staff is very friendly.

Pros: I really liked my stay, I was able to relax from the city life, and do some nice hiking to the mountains. The hostess was very kind and hospitable. The bed was very comfortable and clean. The village itself (Faistenau) is relatively close to the main routes of the region. If you're traveling by public transport, you'll need to remember the bus number 155 which connects Faistenau to Salzburg*, and with Hof bei Salzburg where you can catch the bus 150 to go in the other direction (Bad Ischl). * At certain hours this bus goes only until Hof,you'll need to change to 150 to get to Salzburg. Use the internet/app (OÖVV Info) to get more info.

Cons: Flies. They are everywhere in the summer. I had some incineration tools in my room, but they kept coming :) Don't go to this region in summer if you can't stand those small buzzing creatures sucking your blood. Also, it wasn't a case for me, but I'll write it here to draw more attention. This is a family guesthouse, so if you're "allergic" to kids, it probably won't be your best choice.

Pros: Excellent

Cons: Every thing was Excellent

Pros: The Hotel Sacher was a charming hotel with an interesting history. We did lots of walking and It was conveniently located to shopping, site seeing and restaurants. The staff was great and very helpful during our stay. In the evenings we enjoyed having cocktails in the bar while listening to pianist play. The Hotel Sacher is a great place to stay!!

Pros: The staff here were amazing. Ive stayed in some super hotels but this one has to be up with some of the best. Its unpretentious yet luxurious with the most Incredibly friendly team. I wanted to book a trip up to see the mountains and they organised it all with a local taxi driver who spoke English. Salzburg is a simply magical place especially at Christmas but this hotel, make a visit a cherished memory. Ideally located for all of the local sights and depending on time of year two Christmas markets!

Cons: Cant think of anything.

Pros: The staff are brilliant. Enthusiastic and helpful, and exceptionally polite. The concierge was extremely helpful. Breakfast was fit for a king

Pros: Beautiful hotel in a great location.

Cons: Service in bar was very poor and we were mostly ignored. Some housekeeping could have been better - sometimes poor attention to detail (bathrobes hadn't been refreshed from previous people). Paid a premium for Christmas which was not worth the extra money.

Pros: Cosiness, staff and location

Cons: Way too hot in the rooms

Pros: Hotel is conveniently located for festival goers. Facility is old and room small.

Cons: Front desk staff were rude, arrogant and not very helpful.

Pros: Mr. Reinhold helped us get amazing ticket to the symphony the day of the show. He was thoughtful in organizing a private tour and directing us around the city so that we didn't waste time or miss the hidden gems. Truly exceptional service!

Pros: Amazing location, spacious room

Cons: The service. When we arrived by car, we had to unload the luggage ourselves.. At the check out they added breakfast charge to the bill (280€ for 2 nights/4 people), although we didn’t have breakfast at the hotel during our stay. They immediately removed it when we asked, but it already spoiled the impression about the service there..

Pros: Sacher Hotel, location is perfect for touring Altstadt Salzburg. Junior suite was impeccable, and well furnished, entire staff most friendly and helpful, and service worthy of a five star boutique hotel.

Cons: Absolutely, nothing.

Pros: One of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed at. Staff was gracious, helpful, and very professional.

Cons: Nothing could be better

Pros: Nature is perfect. Pool is OK.

Cons: People at the reception were so rude. They are kind only to Germans/natives or rich people. What about a simple engineer with a Turkish family? They should be well educated for kindness and should behave equal to everyone.

Pros: The general helpful attitude of the staff.

Cons: All good!

Pros: Location is amazing if you are trying to enjoy the fresh air and do some hikes. Takes an hour long walk to the city but is a bit challenging, very steep hills, but if you are enjoying that kind of adventure like I did, it is a perfect location for you. 20 mins drive to the city if using a car, 13€ by Uber.

Pros: Set in the mountains overlooking Salzburg, safe, clean, comfortable, great breakfast, free parking, less than 15mins from downtown Salzburg just a stunning setting!!!!!

Cons: Needed more signs in English (like were the sauna is) ext.

Pros: The water get out from the shower floor Slope to the drain is not enough

Cons: Very clean room

Pros: Everything was perfect and waking up with a mountain view is amazing. Untersberg cable car is only 20mins walking and Salzburg is easily reached with the bus.

Pros: Beautiful inside & out. Wonderful room with balcony & view of mountains. Free breakfast exquisite. Hotel staff world-class.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Very nice hotel and nice, helpful and not-annoying personal. I got late check-in (came there around 22:00, took my room-card from the box near front door). Other hotels in the area doesn’t have late check-in, so that’s your choice, night-traveler. Beside that, they have good decoration in the hall, helpful flyers, maps, bus schedule and etc. Thanks!

Pros: Old time Gentlemens attention and touch to the smalles detail. Austrian tradition quality you cant see in modern world ,entire complex is unique. Restaurants,Spa,Rooms,Lobby,Parking everything is made with love. Congratulations for family Friesacher management ,keeping and improving the traditions for next generations.

Pros: Everything

Pros: Very good breakfast. Beds very good, but 2 matrasses. Very good (and free) parking garage. Large outside pool. Heated (in october!) Swim from inside the spa area to the outside.

Cons: A warning from the reception on the nearby fire brigade garage would be good. We where alarmed at 04:00 am when a very loud warlike sirene was wailing. This had nothing to do with the hotel. I gues that this is the way the local firemen are alerted. Nether the less I was standing in my bath robe at the reception!! No jacussi in welness area. Some staff did not really speak English or German.

Pros: old and pretty hotel, big room, big bathroom breakfast is decent classic old hotel can't comment about location because I rented a car

Pros: Breakfast was exceptionally good in relation to the choices available and the quality of what was on offer. A good selection of meats and cheeses but also cooked eggs and bacon and a great choice of breads, pastries, fruits and yoghurt. Hotel is a short bus ride from the centre, has wonderful views of the mountains from the rooms and staff could not be more helpful.

Pros: The house and the surroundings are beautiful. It has a garden with a very complete children's park. The lake is next to the house and has a perfect route of 5 km to go for a walk or run. The hosts are very kind. The location is great for being immersed in nature and disconnecting from the daily routine.

Cons: We miss a microwave to warm up baby's bottles and food.

Pros: Beautiful design hotel few bus stops from the city centre (the bus Is just in front of the entrance). We loved everything from the room colours to the beautifully decorated reception. The stuff was also very kind and attentive and everything was spotlessly clean. Good value for money.

Pros: Value for money, solid 3*. Nice interiors. At least 2 parking options. Pets are allowed for additional fee (not really high).

Cons: Could’ve been cleaner.

Pros: Staff fantastic (spoke Italian also), rooms were clean, modern, warm and comfortable. I was not expecting this level of comfort and service. There is a supermarket 20 meters away from front door of hotel which is handy. Not in the center of Salzburg-not sure about public transport (was with a car), but the city buses and trams seem to work well. I recommend this hotel for sure-good price/quality ratio

Pros: The hotel is very clean, modern and rooms are very quiet and comfortable, the staff is nice, friendly and helpful

Cons: the room rate is too high for this type of a property and for the location, and they even charge extra for breakfast, extra for parking, both charges - again - are really too high
