Good location Close to transit and easy walk to old town

We had two rooms booked, location and facilities excellent. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend staying here when in Salzburg. Would like the option of twin beds across the Motel One chain.

Nice stay decent room but not cleaned regularly limited breakfast options Nice bar area in the evening which can be further utilized for working space as well

Good location. Bad experience with morning fire drill/ evacuation order caused by a smoker .

My flight from Salzburg to London Gatwick was cancelled on Tuesday 8th September. It was late in the evening and a fellow stranded passenger recommended this hotel brand to me. It was very easy to book, centrally located in Salzburg, and clean, functional, and ideal for my needs. I was so impressed that when my airline rebooked me on a flight from Munich two days later, I took the train to Munich and stayed in a Motel One in Munich before my rebooked flight.

Every one was nice to us. Good breakfast. The free bus rides is very helpful. The interior design is so beautiful and smart.

We very very pleased with Andreas extraordinary good service provided to our family from the day we checked in to checkout. Best seven we ever experienced. Glad the hotel have him as staff . He has provided 5-star services to all the guesses.

Tom, your front desk staff deserves a 5 stars ratings for being welcoming and initiative, sharing with guests on his experience of travelling around Salzburg.

Polite staff. Delicious breakfast. Clean rooms.

A nice, cost-effective location with an excellent river view. Adequately quiet and organized. Great location with a 10-15 walk to the Salzburg HBF and quite walkable from most city attractions. Clean and organized. Not too outstanding but good value for money.

Clean and spacious room that is ideally located for the city and the train station.

Loved the much larger than standard Motel One room. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

A lovely stay

Excellent location, same friendly, efficient reception team as on previous visit.

Quiet room. Convenient location. Wonderfully comfortable bed. Great view at breakfast. No hot water at 4 pm. Socket in bathroom did not work. No eggs left by 9.55 am.

The price charged was far in excess of the quality of the room. There was no coffee, water, extra towels or the basics offered. 20eu for the breakfast was excessive as well.

Great location. Clean. Helpful and friendly staff. Comfortable beds. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The room was very tiny, the space for elevator of the hotel, built into the room was bigger than the bathroom. You could hear elevator going up and down, doors sliding and the doors slamming from stairway and the other rooms. 200 Euro/night, no breakfast included. Very disappointing comparing to other Motel One I stayed at.

Excellent location right next to the Hauptbahnhof, making commutes seamless. Very well maintained property and super nice staff. Highly recommended!

When check in, it took so long although other staff was in the office, the counter staff did not ask for help and so I had to wait more than ten minutes because the staff took care of a guest. But in such case, the other staff must help for the guest waiting so long.

This is in the perfect location. I thought it might be noisy and I'm a light sleeper. There was no noise issue at all even though it is right beside the central train station. The room was clean, staff very helpful. It was an ideal spot to explore Salzburg. It takes no time at all either walking or getting public transport to get to the old town. We will book again if back in Salzburg.

We had a wonderful stay in Motel One in Salzburg. The rooms were fresh and clean and we had an amazing view of the Salzach river. The breakfast was excellent and the terrace very pleasant for an evening drink.

For the price we paid for our stay, i had more expectations. The room was pretty basic and standard, everything was ok, nothing stood out. Breakfast was standard, nothing special Air conditioning worked really fine in the hot weather, so that was great. For an additional 15 euros, they had parking on premise, which was convenient

Hotel is clean. Not so far away from city center. Nice walk along the Salzach.

I get a wonderful treatment from the reception

This is clearly a hotel in flux at the moment after a change in ownership. The reception seemed quite chaotic, frazzled and stressed, learning live a new unfamiliar system. The bar was out of most drinks. Having said that the room.was fine and breakfast was good.

Location and rooms are excellent, the hotel is well decoarated and clean. Staff, especially during the day and in the evening are great and helpful. Staff at night not really avaialble, spent 2 x 15 min outside (room key cards were not correctly programmed) August 10 - 11. Would have appreciated the 10% discount, had we known that adavantage with the one club. A fridge in the room would be nice.

Value for money really bad

My stay was perfect. Information, hospitality and service from the staff was amazing. I promised Tum, Andreas and Dolma to come again and again.My love to H+ Hotel

Personable, professional and helpful staff, special word for Michael who couldn't have been helpful, spotlessly clean, accessible by public transport. Would highly recommend to friends and family

Great location, very friendly & helpful staff. Lovely breakfast.

Absolutely the perfect place to stay if arriving by car. Wonderful easy access to the centre. Rooms fantastic. Staff amazing

Location is excellent and the main advantage of this hotel. Just in front of a bus stop and within a short ride to the center. Also in front of a large supermarket which is quite convenient for buying quick/cheap bites. Stylish bar/lobby area as well. On the negative side, the room was lacking in basic amenities, especially at this price range: kettle, mini-fridge, tea set, ironing board, slippers, glassware are all things I am used to get in other hotels that are not provided here. Pillows to soft for my liking as well. Also puzzled about having the reception at the bar - it does not feel like a real hotel and more like the person at the bar is also handling reception duties on the side. Finally, never got the welcome water that was advertised for beOne members.

good rooms, nice location near river. need free water please. reception was very understaffed, waited very long to check in

I stayed for one week at the property in Salzburg, which is nice but I think three improvements are needed to make for a more comfortable stay. 1. Please add complementary coffee/tea in the lobby or in the room. Many comparable budget hotels offer this. Charging 3€ for a guest to then make a small black coffee themself using the machine in the lobby is too much. As a result we went elsewhere for coffee. And yes, we understand the concept of the hotel is to keep prices low by eliminating extras, but coffee/tea in the morning is just as vital as wifi and hot water! 2. Please add ice machines for guests / self service. 3. There was always a line at the front desk, no matter what time of day or night. Some people were lining up to pay to use the coffee machine or to request some ice for the room (there was never a bartender on duty — the front desk clerk was doing everything). I suggest you organize for more staff to be on duty and/or provide guests some self-service capability such as free coffee and ice machines. Finally, reserving online was fairly easy, but it was not possible to modify the reservation online. I had to call the hotel to add an additional night. It would be great to update your online system to meet market standards.

Everything was perfect !

Great stay and really appreciated the early check in.

Very nice hotel, very cozy and clean. Excellent breakfast with good variety of selection. Close to everything, next to the river. A bit outside of the main area though.

Surprised how clean the room was! Friedly staff, excelent choice to pick-up local transportation. Also, the rate for room was exelent!

Pretty good location, nice and generous breakfast and, most importantly, the AC works well!

Very comfortable hotel. Clean throughout. Plenty of staff available.

Although it is not in the hotel policy, a mini bar would be a convenient improvement.

Motel One is always our „go to“ address if we stay in a European city. Clean, stylisch, great breakfast and a „feel at home“ atmosphere

Clean room, nice view and friendly staff

There was a bit of hiccup at check-in but otherwise it was all good. It would have been also good to be offered a complementary water bottle (another Motel One was the same …) We loved the lounge space. Also the view from the balcony. Would have liked to have a kettle in the room.

Small room, not comfortable. Only high pillows. Small bathroom, shower with water everywhere. No frigidaire in room. Desk people not very friendly.

A nice hotel in good location for my needs. Unfortunately, the AC didn't work very well in my two rooms, both rooms had musty smell (room 207 and 422). My friend had a room somewhere on the second floor and she told the AC works good there. Pillows and blankets need replacing, but the beds are really good. A breakfast is delicious, I only missed fresh berries because it's summer. The reception staff were very helpful when we arrived and later when I had some problems 🩷

Terrific option located a short 10 min bus ride into the city.

I needed to modify my booking over email prior to arrival and the process was really smooth, the staff were super helpful. We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel, our room on the 6th floor was very comfortable with great views. My only critique is the breakfast, which I found to be overpriced for what was offered. It is okay for a single day, but for multiple days it gets a bit bland.

Salzburg

Mozart was here.

Were Wolfgang Amadeus to wander the streets of his birthplace as it is today, he’d certainly feel right at home. Although now the fourth largest city in Austria, Salzburg is still compact, full of lively and convivial pubs, and a stronghold of arts and music, but now in a contemporary style.


Motel One has two locations in the city: both the centrally located Hotel Salzburg Mirabell and the Motel One Salzburg-South offer the usual unique design, restorative sleep in cosy box-spring beds and warm, welcoming service. Free WiFi, a plentiful breakfast buffet and a bar with a wide range of beverages also await in our Design Hotels. Even a dedicated bon vivant such as Mozart would have found his every wish fulfilled – probably!

Budget Design Hotels in Salzburg – your Motel One


A UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, Salzburg has contrived to retain its historical heft while also becoming a key location for trade fairs and conventions, by taking a restrained approach. Surrounded by imposing palaces and castles, expansive parks and important museums, it’s easy to escape from the 21st century. There are fantastic views of and over the city to be had from the heights of Hohensalzburg Castle,


and a healthy, organic breakfast at your Motel One will lend you energy if you're planning to climb. The predominant Salzburg landmark, this fortress towers high over the Barque Old Town, and is the largest still-complete building of its kind in Europe.


Salzburg cathedral, just a few hundred metres away, is another must-see. Then from the cathedral’s environs, you’re not far from Getreidegasse number 9, where Mozart was born in 1756.


Festivals and night-life – Salzburg’s cultural highlights

Salzburg Festival, a major classical music and drama festival with a prominent place on the global scene, has been a major attraction for culture vultures since 1920. Focal points of the festival each July and August are the annual performances of the play “Jedermann”, various recitals of Strauss and of course Mozart, and a series of operas and concerts featuring widely renowned stars.


Even out of season, Salzburg never hibernates, and the locals keep up the cheer in Salzburg’s many convivial pubs. There’s no main night-life districts; the best places are strewn across the map. Places that may seen a slog away are in fact quickly reached. After a long evening on the tiles, you can look forward to returning to the bosom of your hotel, and dreaming of Salzburg’s past and present.
