Hotel & Villa Auersperg Salzburg

Hotel Villa Auersperg was a fantastic choice for our stay in Salzburg. The location is excellent — close to the train station and within easy walking distance of the Old Town, making it ideal for exploring the Christmas markets.|The rooms were very comfortable and well appointed, and the bathrooms were a real highlight with heated floors, which was especially appreciated during winter. The spa was lovely and provided a relaxing place to unwind after a day of sightseeing.|Breakfast was outstanding. The made-to-order eggs were delicious, and the overall selection was excellent. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay.|We were a family of five adults and booked three lovely rooms, which worked perfectly for our holiday trip. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Hotel Villa Auersperg.

Good hotel in a good area that was close to all the main attractions but in a little quieter of a neighborhood which was nice. Great service and staff. What was a little different was the hotel had rooms in the main building and the villa next door. My rooms was in the villa which was more like a small hotel but that was fine as up the room and building was still very nice. Overall no complaints

This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at - not only are the rooms and beds comfortable, with heated bathroom floors and room darkening shades, and the breakfast is delicious, healthy, mostly local and organic, and the staff is warm, welcoming and helpful and will go to lengths to make sure guests’ needs are met (for example providing food outside of posted hours so no one goes hungry) but they also are true planetary stewards. They follow a program that supports guests, employees, the environment and the community in general. I not only enjoyed my stay but also felt good about supporting this business. It’s a bit of a walk to the historic downtown but nice to be away from the crowds. This is the place to stay in Salzburg. Make sure to get the breakfast.

We very much enjoyed our four night stay at the Auersperg hotel. It is a really well run family hotel, impeccably maintained, and very comfortable. It is slightly off centre so it is very quiet, though 10 minutes walk will take you into the old town. It has lovely and exceptionally helpful staff. Very good breakfast buffet with specially cooked eggs etc available. A decent restaurant with an outdoor dining option. And a peaceful garden for relaxing in on hot days. Just about my idea of a perfect hotel in fact. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed our four night stay at the Auersperg very much. We'd booked a comfortable, pleasingly decorated room with a garden view which was a delight; the garden was perfect for relaxing in the late summer heat. The staff were all welcoming, friendly and attentive. Breakfast was varied and delicious, and we enjoyed the two meals we ate in the hotel - one on the pretty terrace. The hotel is an easy, pleasant walk from the main sights. Highly recommended.

The location was convenient to walk to many restaurants, the river and old town. The staff were very helpful, from the check-in experience, to servers at breakfast, and the friendly bartender in the evening. The room was large, clean and comfortable. They offered different types of pillows, which I really appreciated. (I prefer a softer, feather pillow.) The only slight negative was the tall bathtub/shower, which was tricky to step in and out of. It might be a challenge for elderly people. The breakfast selection was quite impressive. We were very pleased with our stay.

Beautifully styled but very disappointing experience The room was very very cold (we had the baby travelling with us) and it took a while to heat and complimentary beverages were awful (better don’t take them)! The food was average at best. The staff was nice but overall the hotel was way too expensive for what it offered 👍

Really nice hotel serving an excellent breakfast. Great location on a quiet street with a lovely garden and beehives. However, the welcome was lacking from one particular female member of reception staff. No welcome on arrival just a strange demeanour when asked to store our bags and this continued throughout our stay including checkout. This is a critical area that needs urgent review. It’s simply not fair to the other staff, including restaurant and bar staff, who displayed excellent levels of customer service including the gentleman who checked us in at 4pm that same day. We really liked this hotel but decided to stay elsewhere on return to Salzburg. Direct booking. Date of stay: 30 Aug 2025.

This hotel is the very definition of class. Everything about our stay here was lovely, and I can't imagine a better place we could have spent our Christmas in Europe. When we dropped off our bags early, we checked in to find they had already been brought to our room. This was my first hint that this wasn't your average hotel. The room was huge and comfortable and homey (the bowl of walnuts was a nice touch). The heated bathroom floors were perfect for the chilly winter evenings. The rain shower was luxurious. Oh and did I mention they had an expresso machine in the room? I also loved the old radio and little library of books in the room. My boyfriend and I turned on some Christmas music, drank some beer we brought from Brussels and it was perfect. On Christmas Eve they had a little reception for the guests and gave personalized gifts to every family staying at the hotel. The morning breakfast had a huge variety of organic items. There were cheese plates galore, fresh squeeze juices, breads, cakes, you name it. I felt like royalty. Our stay here was the best hotel experience I have ever had, and I was sad to leave. If I have any complaint, it's that the hotel was so comfortable I probably spent more time in it and less time exploring the City than I should have! If I ever find myself back in Salzburg, there is no doubt I will find myself here again.

It's something like seven months now since I was here, visiting Salzburg for a few days on a summer trip, but I STILL THINK ABOUT THIS HOTEL. Not only was Salzburg the most gorgeous city I saw on my travels, but this was the most gorgeous place I stayed out of MANY hotels over the course of a month. The room was excellent- comfortable beds, one of the better hotel showers I've had, very inviting and nice. But honestly I barely set foot in there except for to shower and sleep, because oh my god, the GARDEN. I spent hours of down time when I wasn't exploring the city sitting in that quiet, serene, beautiful garden, writing peacefully. It was quiet and uncrowded and felt like a little nook of paradise. If I ever revisit Salzburg, and I hope to, I'm definitely coming back to this hotel!!!! (Also, the bartenders kindly made me an excellent virgin mojito- good mocktails are always a quality I appreciate in a hotel! And the breakfast buffet was expansive and delicious, which is also very important!)

Hotel Auersperg did everything with ultimate charm, simplicity, and healthiness in mind. Their bio (organic) breakfast buffet (included with the price of stay) was heavenly. Fresh local breads, coffees, eggs, yogurts, and granolas all tasted delicious (among other delightful foods). The rooftop spa was peaceful and refreshing (you could walk outside to their rooftop garden deck in between time in the sauna for a deep inhale of Austrian alpine air). Their steam sauna was the best I've ever been in for its cleanliness and the material in which it was made from retained heat so well. Their dry sauna was equally pleasant. The room we stayed in was incredibly clean, with soft wood floors, and simple elegant furnishings. The staff at the front desk were polite and helpful. Having traveled extensively, I can say 'my favorite hotel in Europe' with a good amount of merit. It was just a sweet, lovely hotel with summer rains that came a few of the days and everything was quiet and peaceful. Thank you, Hotel Auersperg! I will be back. Emily Rose Reeder

Excelent location, the room is comfortable, very clean, and the bath is superb. Very few guests enjoy the excelent sauna, best for us, great to relax after a busy day. We also loved the breakfast.

They moved us rooms without letting us know!!! The hotel itself is very nice, but upon my second day there, I returned from the city to find myself LOCKED OUT of my room!! The receptions met us in the hall to explain it was their mistake that a priority guest always stays in this room, and therefore they have RELOCATED OUR STUFF TO ANOTHER ROOM! I asked if I could check the room to see if they had gotten everything? And she replied that it was not possible because the guest had already moved in!!! No phone call to come get our stuff, they just pack us up and moved us!! Feel as if my privacy was extremely violated! Not compensation what so ever! The new room itself was smaller, and older. Avoid this hotel! They obviously have more elite guest to host.

The hotel Auesperg was a warm experience overall. The owner, hotel manager, and staff engaged in open and warm discussions and it felt more like visiting with friends than a hotel in another country. They were helpful regarding the area and provided a fabulous breakfast or really anything you asked for. We asked for a salad one afternoon and Erik made the most refreshing salad imaginable. Another day we asked for a cheese sandwich and they made one with heated chiabotta bread and sheep cheese, arugula and tomatoes (yummy). Their organic sustainable food for breakfast was a real treat. So many options to recommend. The room itself was spacious and very comfortable. The gardens were a pleasure to sit in after a day of touring or even just an opportunity to read a book in pleasant surrounds. I would stay here again in a heart beat. Great overall experience.

When I first walked into this hotel, I thought it was beautiful and the front desk staff was so nice. They showed me to my room, which was also beautiful. I was thinking that I wanted to give this hotel five stars. Then everything went downhill. In my first room, the cleaning people had left the window wide open, with no screens. As common sense would dictate, there was a very large insect sitting right next to the window. Now let me note that I purposely don't go to Third World countries because I hate bugs. When I come to a beautiful and clean country like Austria, I expect it not to be a problem. I grabbed a hanger and I shoved the bug out of the window, and assumed that it was just bad luck. However, I left and came back that night, and there was another gigantic bug sitting on the wall. I tried to smash it, but it got away. Then I noticed two or three other insects flying around. I also noticed 3 other bugs smashed onto the walls by previous guests. I called the front desk and the guy was really nice and offered to switch my room. By now it was 11 PM, and I was exhausted. I told him I would be fine with any room without bugs, even if it was a downgrade. I moved all my stuff over to a second room and within two seconds noticed a gigantic fly sitting on the wall. I might've been able to live with that, but then I went to the bathroom and there was a gigantic spider in the bathtub.At this point, the front desk guy informed me there is only one other room left. I told him I thought we should check the room together. We found two more bugs in the third room. One was a large leggy insect and the other was a flea. One he was able to reach and to smash with a book. The other one was a beyond easy reach, so he grabbed a bottle of glass cleaner and used that to kill it. Needless to say, I tipped him because he was very nice and he did his job. Once he left- I saw another spider. I killed it, but I didn't sleep all night because I was so traumatized by all the bugs. The hotel should really be ashamed of itself. For close to €200 a night, I expect to not be barraged by bugs! It seems like I might've been better off paying €20 for a hostel. After all, in my younger days of staying in multiple youth hostels all over Europe, I never once saw a bug. And then in one night,I saw more bugs in this one hotel than I have seen in all of the hotels I've stayed in throughout my lifetime combined. To the hotel management- I want an apology. And while the front desk was nice enough to discount my rate, you should be embarrassed to be charging any money at all for such an awful experience. I really loved Salzburg and its lovely people, and now unfortunately I'm leaving with a very bad taste in my mouth

My favorite hotel I have ever stayed in. Beautiful building with a great view of nearby hills. Friendly service. Comfortable beds. Modern rooms, surprisingly comfortable, not too fancy or too bleak like so many other "modern" hotels. Small selection of books (in English and German), including Stefan Zweig (I was impressed) in the room. Unbelievable breakfast buffet in the morning (calling it a buffet doesn't do justice to the breadth of options, all so fresh, all so good). Visited in October and the weather was cool and damp, yet the windows in the stairwells and hallways were thrown open and the air inside the hotel was marvelous and fresh (without being too cold, somehow). And on every landing in the hotel were bowls of fresh organic apples from the hills outside the windows...perfection. Located a short walk from the river and the historic shopping and tourist districts. Will absolutely stay here again next time I come back to Salzburg!
