Pension Ballwein

Very rarely do I post a review for accommodation before I have left the property, but I am compelled to on this occasion. It is one of those instances where if I could award more than 5 stars, I would. Pension Ballwein, and the family who operate it, are spectacular. Everything about the operation is is executed and presented with utter perfection. The building and her rooms exist at that difficult to obtain point of balance between traditional and modern, and there is nothing -I mean nothing- to want for or complain about. The breakfast should not only have a review, it should have songs sung about it! Never throughout my many times in Austria or Germany have I seen such a vast, well-presented, high-quality selection as I have seen at Pension Ballwein. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and that usual awkward silence that exists in the breakfast room (you know the one) is entirely absent. The owners here are clearly proud of what they do - and rightfully so. They should teach seminars in hotel operation and management. If you are visiting Salzburg, stay at Pension Ballwein.

The loveliest little Accommodation. So many lovely touches throughout the property. Our room and bathroom were so pretty. The breakfast was incredible. The Owners were so helpful in helping us make the most of our time with tips about what we wouldn't want to miss in their lovely city

I and my wife spent a week in the Ballwein pension and it was a wonderful stay. The owners, Daniela and Simon, are very nice people and always ready to help. Room was very clean (cleaned every day!), with comfortable bed and nice bathroom. The breakfast was perfect as well - tasty and with lots of options. Pension is in a nice street, good for evening walks, with nice nature around. Big plus is a bus stop in front of the pension with quick connection to the Salzburg center by bus 21. We definitely recommend the Ballwein pension to others and we are looking forward to stay here again in the future.

Our room was spotlessly clean and fixtures and fittings are very high standard with a comfy bed. Good quality breakfast with lots of choice. Great location with scenic views and easy access to Salzburg town. The staff were so helpful and welcoming. Highly recommend

Excellent customer service. First impression and check in was amazing, we got all hints (where is shop, restaurants, where to park in city centre etc.) great support!! ;) Very clean, warm rooms 🙂 Hospitality of owners is stunning. Perfect location - Just 7 min to city centre (by car). During the day you can just walk to city centre. One more important thing - 🍕😋 Tasty breakfasts. Highly recommend !!! 😉For sure we will come back!

This is a wonderful family run pension in the lovely city of Salzburg. Simon and Daniela made us feel so welcome. The pension combines traditional Austrian charm with modern amenities. Our shower was superb and the air con really welcome in a heat wave. The accommodation feels very good quality and is immaculate. Breakfast was very good with lots of choice. There is ample parking and a bus stop right outside takes you to the centre of Salzburg in 15 minutes. I cannot recommend pension Ballwein highly enough.

Awesome place to stay, the owners are super nice, the house and the room is clean and cozy. The breakfast has a lots of options indeed. Easy to get into the city, the bus stop is literally in front of the house. Big park place. Really recommending it!

I stayed here by myself for a 1 week writing retreat. It was absolutely lovely. The owners are really kind, rooms are beautiful, the scenery is also gorgeous in the area. Breakfast is tasty and generous. Highly recommend! Also, if you like to exercise there's a fantastic outdoor fitness park within a 20 min walk (...as well as all the hiking, biking and swimming options, naturally!)
