Holiday Inn Salzburg City is a mid-range hotel in central Salzburg, close to the Mirabell Palace and gardens and within walking distance of Mozart’s Birthplace and the Christmas market in season. With about 100 rooms it is smaller than many international chain hotels, and it appeals to travellers who want a dependable room, good Wi-Fi and a sensible price close to the main sights, rather than the atmosphere of a historic house. Guests regularly rate it as very good, and the central position means that much of what you came to see is walkable. The hotel offers the practical features that families and business travellers look for: a gym, a bar, room service, a 24-hour front desk, a concierge who can help with tickets and tours, a business centre open at all hours, and air conditioning throughout. Rooms are equipped with a desk, a kettle, a flat-screen television, a wardrobe and a pillow menu, and many have a bath, which is useful after a day on cobbled streets.
Location and getting around
The Mirabell Gardens, with the famous Pegasus fountain and the views of the fortress, are the nearest of the major sights, and the old town is reached across the river on foot. The main station and the bus routes for day trips to the lakes and mountains are close at hand. The airport is a short drive away. Parking is available for a fee, with covered spaces at a higher price than uncovered ones, and there is an electric car charging station.
Rooms
The standard room with two twin beds is the type most often listed, and rooms are of a good, if not generous, size. Extra beds and cribs may not be available, so families should check the exact room configuration when they book rather than assume. Pets are accepted for a daily fee, and the premises are smoke-free.
Who it suits
Budget-conscious couples, solo travellers, small groups of friends and business visitors who want a central location without paying old town prices. It is also a good base for the Sound of Music tour and the day trips, with plenty of departure points close by.
Good to know
A daily buffet breakfast is available for an extra charge, and children aged 12 and under may eat breakfast free, which helps families. Check-in begins in the afternoon and late check-out costs extra. Contactless check-in and check-out are possible, which saves time if you arrive by train. Prices swing with the Festival and the Advent markets, so check when you book.
