People definitely come here for the view, especially on a warm summer night. They have a rather large outside seating area so it's great for groups! The restaurant itself is really down to earth. Simple, traditional Austrian cuisine, meaning Schnitzel, Knödel and fish from local lakes and rivers. I had the Zander with veggies and a salad. The dish originally comes with potatoes instead of a salad but they kindly adapted the dish. So thumbs up for service! For dessert we went for a Kaiserschmarrn (pretty much scrambled pancake batter served with a plum jam/chutney or apple sauce), it was good but not great, the dough wasn't fluffy at all. All in all, a great place for a casual summer dinner or a sundowner since the view is spectacular, good service and good food but nothing too special.

We do not experience that feeling often in the States. Ordered our drinks (beer) as we were fresh off a super long flight. Ordered out food not knowing what we ordered.

I wish I had asked for my leftovers to go as they took them away and probably threw them out. :( I thought she was boxing them up but I was told you have to ask for that. Too bad as it was fantastic. Great little place. I can't imagine living in a place like this with a restaurant like this. Locals love it too. It would be amazing to be able to come back!

It's in an historic building and located near to where Mozart was born. Walking is easy as it's in a pedestrian zone in the center of the old town on the Sigmund Haffner Gasse. Just around the corner is the baroque old town, the festival hall and the gorgeous cathedral. They have a great breakfast buffet and your dog is allowed to stay with you for a 30 euro per night fee. The hotel restaurant has great reviews and it's a nice place to stop and to have a bite of authentic Tirol cuisine. You can find deals online, and they also offer discounts If you book direct with them on their website.

But none have felt like home the way Hotel Goldener Hirsch does. The hospitality is exceptional. Warm, attentive and genuine. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel not just welcomed, but cared for. Our room was beautifully appointed, with a view overlooking the Pferdeschwemme. It was comfortable in that rare way that makes you want to unpack, settle in and stay a while. Breakfast service delivered to our room each morning allowed us to ease into the day with quiet and comfort. In the evenings, we found ourselves at the hotel bar both before and after dinner, drawn in by the atmosphere and the incredibly welcoming bartender. I wish I had gotten his name. His professionalism, beautiful cocktails and way of making everyone feel like a regular added a layer of warmth that made those evenings feel special. I'm going to return. Hotel Goldener Hirsch is more than a luxury property. It's where we'll return, again and again, because it feels like coming home.

Excellent hotel Excellent restaurant…read more RARELY do I ever eat at a hotel but this was an exception. I was tired from traveling and did not want to get in the car to find somewhere in the dark to eat. I am so happy that I did. The food was absolutely amazing! This was one of the few strudels that I actually liked as well. There was no rush and we were able to enjoy ourselves, the food and drinks. The front desk staff (young lady) was extremely helpful and seemed to be doing the work of 5 people. When we got to our room we discovered that it was only set up for one guest and she immediately left the desk and came to assist setting it up. Quickly learned that it really does take a village to put a duvet in a duvet cover :-) The room was perfect, clean, quiet. The bathroom shower had hot water and great water pressure. Plenty of parking. Breakfast was included and was fine for us to tide us over and send us off on our journey. Thank you to the great staff and chef.

It has been an absolutely horrible experience at this hotel. First off, the location is alright,…read moreit's a fairly easy walk into old town, and the accommodations are good enough. Now story time... I planned this vacation a while back through a travel company. I was always intending on traveling alone, so I made reservations for a single occupancy room. Unexpectedly, just weeks prior to leaving for this trip, my roommate had some time off and decided to meet me in Austria. My roommate was aware that there may not be an upgradeable room and that she may have to find a hotel room for herself because of the single occupancy room reservation, but when we showed up to check in, the clerk behind the front desk was incredibly stern and was definitely not going to allow my friend to stay in my room, and was also quite adamant that there were no other rooms available. No problem, my friend easily found another hotel and made a reservation. Here's the kicker to the whole story... the front desk at this hotel knew that my friend found a hotel to stay in, but every time we would show up to this hotel together, the front desk staff was very harsh and judgemental and would not even allow my friend to come up to the room. They made her stay in the lobby. It was as though I was 16 and my parents were making sure I didn't sneak my girlfriend up to my bedroom! I understand not wanting to run the risk of two people potentially sleeping in a single occupancy room... and I'm sure they've run into their fare share of idiots who have attempted to skirt that rule in the past... but I have NEVER stayed in any hotel that does not allow guests in your room at 2:00 in the afternoon! NEVER!!!! I honestly wish I could give this hotel 0 stars due to the compete disrespect and lack of common courtesy towards paying guests. I suppose the location of this hotel is enough to warrant a single star, but I HIGHLY suggest you forgo any reservations at this establishment unless you're feeling nostalgic and want to experience living in a strict college dorm setting while on vacation. I can't stress enough how aggravating the stay here has been. It has left an unfortunate terrible taste in my mouth for this otherwise absolutely amazing city. I have NEVER payed good money to be made to feel so childish, embarrassed and infuriated. The travel company which booked this hotel will be warned and it will be highly recommended that they immediately stop using this hotel in the future. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!

There are two TVs although we didn't use them. The TV in the bedroom didn't work. Shower is small for the size of the bathroom. It was possible but challenging to find plugs bedside for charging phones and such. There is also a lot of light that comes in from the skylights and can't be blocked. Light sleepers may find it hard to sleep after sunrise (5ish AM in May). Despite the skylights I found the room a little dark during the day. Not enough natural light for the size of the room. All this said the reason to consider this room is the rooftop deck space. The view from the roof is amazing. Great place to share morning coffee or an afternoon/evening wine or beer. Nighttime views are also amazing! Our second room was a more typical hotel room. Nothing special, but cozy and still nice. The building dates back about 700 years although most of what you see is more modern through countless renovations over the centuries. Still cool to be in a place with so much history! You can't beat the location of this hotel. You can walk to virtually everything in the old town of Salzburg and there must be 50 restaurants within 200 meters of this hotel. The hotel restaurant is good to stop in at least one. They will make a decent espresso in the morning or serve a nice meal for dinner. We would definitely stay here again when we visit Salzburg!

The explanation future guests need regards the unloading and parking part. There is no place to unload your car in front of the hotel. There is a side street immediately to the left of the entrance as you're sailing around the 'round about. Turn right there and you'll find 3-5 spaces on the right shoulder of the road depending upon how busy it is. Unload there and the staff will bring out a cart. The parking garage is 5 mins away by car (all one way streets, a bit of a maze), 10 minutes at least on foot, and is not easy to find. Look for the Hotel Imlauer sign on the wall, it's only about 6" x 6", so keep your eyes peeled. Once you're there, it all makes sense! Just hang in there! We do recommend Hotel Imlauer in Salzburg! Enjoy!

You may want to take an Uber or taxi depending on your physical capabilities and luggage situation. The front desk person was kind and explained the amenities available plus we were fortunate to get an early check in. The room and bathroom were large, clean, comfortable and quiet. The breakfast buffet was impressive, the staff at the buffet were very nice and helped me with gluten free options. The manager offered me packaged and heated gf bread and remembered me each morning after to give me more bread. The restaurant downstairs in the tavern was very busy on the night we went but squeezed us in. The hotel is very close distance to the Mirabell palace and garden, many shops and cafes. I enjoyed this hotel and would stay again if I make my way back to Salzburg.
