Haus Wartenberg

Haus Wartenberg is a small family hotel conveniently close to several bus routes into Salzburg (10,1, 22, 21), and you can walk there through the tunnel (about half an hour). We were offered an apartment nearby, which was very spacious although it was not serviced daily, lacked wifi (European 3G roaming is still possible of course), and had a capricious shower; this was more of an AirBnB from a friend than an apartment owned by the hotel, but they managed everything. Overall we're happy we took it and the access with heavy cases was easy. Their restaurant has a good menu, and breakfast is a normal buffet. Parking is anywhere that can be found on the street, and because this is a 3 hour limit area the staff take your keys and periodically change your disc for you, which seems to be legal (!). They sell the Salzburg card, which is great value. Reception is not always staffed, but you can usually find someone. There was some confusion on check out as to whether we had paid or not, which was resolved after a few minutes. Overall the location was good, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the price was good for being so close to the centre.

Awesome stay. Kids had a great time. Absolutely loved the hotel. Very homely and traditional, old style. However not for travellers who want a modern setting hotel. No elevator if you have big baggage. Parking on street but a safe area. Owner helps you find one. Good breakfast.

I loved the old hotel, my husband not so much. It was in the 90's no air conditioning and we were on the fourth floor. There is not a lift but fortunately we had our teenage grandson's with us to carry our suitcases. The breakfast is wonderful. We were treated by a group of opera singers that practice there.

We are faimily of four. Our quad room had only two drinking glasses. I asked for two additional glasses at the front desk. The man on duty said yes, and went away. I waited almost ten minutes at the desk and gave up. He never showed up and we never got the two glasses. Room was fine, classic Bavarian. Location and breakfast were good. Ten minute walk to Augustiner beer hall. 20 minute walk to the old town square.

It was just incredibly cool to stay in this big old mansion. Whilst it’s not 5 star, it was clean and comfortable and roomy.
