I booked my stay at Gästehaus Priesterseminar online with Booking.com. I couldn't be happier with…read moremy choice! I was greeted when I arrived by a very friendly receptionist who told me all about the property and the amenities. The room was very clean and spacious compared to many European hotels, especially the single room. The location is very good. You can walk to all the Salzburg attractions. There are also plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. The morning breakfast was excellent! I highly recommend a stay at Gästehaus im Priesterseminar! It has everything you need at a reasonable price.

Set within the Old City, this hotel is quaint but has some modern updates within.

For a base of operations within walking of many of the old city sites it serves the purpose. Rooms are small but typical Euro including the lack of any shower curtain or door leaving a ridiculously inadequate barrier. If rating European hotels on their ability to douche the entire bathroom floor with the shower this would be a 10 (meaning you should probably build an ark!) Fixtures and lighting have all been modernized, the wifi internet is free with a password and faster than many upscale places I have stayed in and the bedding is comfortable. What is lacking is air conditioning so a stay here in summer can feel like a sauna (I recommend room 10 which faces a shaded back courtyard and is quiet, cooler and comes with a cool dwarf sized door cut into the cement for entry!) breakfast included in your rate and is a reasonable Euro selection of charcuterie, bread, fruit and cereal. For those of you addicted to a brand name experience, a stunning breakfast buffet and a spa within, go elsewhere. But to have a period experience in Salzburg, I would stay here again.

I'm giving this place five stars because this place is not trying to be a resort. The building is…read moreolder than Columbus's voyage across the Atlantic. And yet--the rooms are very updated. This place is a perfect place for a family to stay to be close to the old town. The reason it gets 5 stars is for service. Unbelievably knowledgeable and helpful. Mostly a mom and pop shop which is why they are so great.
