Arthotel Blaue Gans

Gorgeous property, rooms very chic and comfortable (as shown online) and the breakfast was a wonderful assortment of items with the additional option of ordering eggs. I had dinner at the outdoor restaurant and it was by far one of the most incredible dishes - arctic char. The location is absolutely perfect within old town. Parking is recommended at a public parking lot. It was convenient, well maintained and well lit.

The hotel was perfectly situated. And full of interesting art. The restaurant served an amazing breakfast. And the staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was attractive and comfortable. A nice touch was the availability of umbrellas to borrow. And they also had bikes you could borrow.

The hotel is a small boutique hotel right in the middle of things. The bathroom in our suite was very tight. The bed is firm, maybe to firm for some. There is a lot of art in the hotel, some very odd. The restaurant and bar are fantastic. The service and food was great. The breakfast came with our room, also good.

Great location. No in room coffee or tea. Breakfast is €30 per person. Clean and well decorated. Bed is extremely firm, and I like a firm mattress but this bed is too firm for even me. Good shower. I would look elsewhere for my next stay. It seems like they put all of the investment into the art and decor and didn’t leave enough leftover for comfortable beds and coffee/tea service. No mini bar either.

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is very centrally located in Salzburg. It is on the Main Street but still feels quiet! The hotel is very clean and we loved our room - it was described as a small room but didn’t feel particularly small to us and we had a lot of luggage! The bed was comfy and everything felt very new and clean. Housekeeping and service from all staff was excellent. My partner asked for some shirts to be washed and pressed - they did this very quickly and happily. Very impressed. The breakfast is delicious but expensive (it was not included in our room rate - we would recommend you try to ensure it is included). We ate in the restaurant for dinner one evening and this was very good. We liked that the room came with umbrellas. We were really happy to stay at this hotel and we would be very happy to return in the future. We would recommend this hotel to anyone who is staying in Salzburg.

Very convenient location, you can walk to all the sites from here and there are food and mini mart options just nearby. Rooms are very clean and service staff friendly. Breakfast selection is small but delicious. The crossiants and made to order scrambled eggs were excellent. Had the roast goose leg for dinner and it was excellent too. Nice hotel, definitely would stay again next time in Salzburg!

I will start off by saying that we almost aborted our efforts at finding the hotel. (By our arrival in Salzburg, we were on our third week of an almost months-long vacation). We passed it briefly, then our GPS got us lost for a good 15 minutes and we had a dickens of a time trying to find the correct parking garage…until my husband looked at the very clear instructions on the hotel website and our confirmation e-mail from Juliane answering my multitude of questions. We were able to GPS to the correct parking garage and were so surprised to find that it had been built in the mountain adjacent to the tunnel we had just arrived through and directly behind the Pferdeschwemme horse mural and fountain landmark. Just walking through the tunnels of the parking garage was an experience in itself. ||A less than 5 minute walk across the street to the hotel and we were greeted so warmly that I began to rethink my earlier thoughts of driving right back out of Saltzburg. Then we were directed to our room via the lifts (THANK YOU!) and the thought that we could have potentially missed out on such a lovely room with the most spectacular view of the horse mural, the Sigmundstor road tunnel and the Monchsberg mountain mad me want to pinch myself. The view was literally breathtaking. The room, a junior suite, was very large and decorated charmingly, very reminiscent of a mountain lodge. Not overly done or crowded with large furniture. We were also quite surprised that there was a completely separate water closet with toilet, hand sink and built-in storage and across the room behind two barn doors was a bathing room with two separate vanities, hair dryers and a soaking tub/shower combo. Heaven! There was also a cute little blue duck provided to each of us as a souvenir of our stay. ||The beds were comfortable and it was nice to have a separate sitting area to relax with a cup of coffee or tea. On the first floor, there is a very large, self-service tea bar with a full selection of complimentary teas to sample. ||We had breakfast that was included in the cost of the room and they serve made to order eggs and sausage or bacon and to accompany that, there is a buffet of fruits, yogurt, breads and danishes, cheeses and meats along with several beverages of choice. I found the servings of eggs I ordered each morning a little large and I was unable to finish especially after enjoying fresh croissants with butter and chocolate hazelnut spread and my favorite morning latte. ||We found the staff all very warm and welcoming and gave us many good recommendations about places to dine. The restaurant was closed our first day there and we had reservations for the next evening so I cannot give a review on that. We also did not ask for our room to be serviced however, I when we returned from sightseeing, there was a linen bag full of bathroom necessities and towels hanging on our door handle. ||The location can also not be beat. The hotel is literally nestled in the heart of historic Alstadt Salzburg and there is so much to see in the surrounding area. ||Both my husband and I agree that should we return to any of the six hotels we visited during our extended trip, the Arthotel Blaue Gans was probably our favorite.

I booked a Double Room (medium) for 3 nights and the overall experience was great!|1) Location is 5* within walking distance to most places of interest and plenty of restaurants.|2). Both the room and bathroom are very spacious and clean with modern zen vibes.|3). As I did not want housekeeping, the considerate hotel staff left a bag of fresh towels and toiletries on my door daily. |4). Breakfast was good and their eggs were yummy.||The only issue is that the air-con ventilation was inconsistent and would make loud noises. This is fine by me but maybe not for the light sleepers.
