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.
Good location, not far from old town. And, the hotel have underground parking with Euro11 per day.
Overall, my stay was acceptable, but the room itself was one of the most poorly designed I’ve ever encountered. Several issues stood out: Missing room amenities — The room had no fridge or kettle, which are basic conveniences I expect at this price point. Disability room assignment — I was assigned a disability-access room despite not requesting one. As a result, the layout was impractical: The toilet was unusually high and uncomfortable to use. The shower was completely open, causing water to spread across the entire bathroom. The shower hose had very low pressure, forcing me to stand awkwardly close to the wall. Poor bed quality — The bed consisted of two separate mattresses. One was fine, but the other was clearly worn out and should have been replaced long ago. Breakfast value concerns — I’m glad I didn’t include breakfast. Charging €18 for a selection that offers only boiled eggs as the sole egg option and no vegetables feels unreasonable. On a positive note, the staff were friendly and welcoming. However, the check‑in process needs improvement. I arrived around 09:00 after a long journey and was told my room wasn’t ready because cleaning had just begun. I asked whether an earlier check‑in before 15:00 was possible and was told to check back later. When I returned at 11:00, I received the same answer: rooms were still not ready. A simple improvement would be for the front desk to contact housekeeping and adjust the cleaning order when a guest arrives early. Preparing one room sooner does not take two hours, and I even offered to take an uncleaned room temporarily just so I could shower and get to work in better condition. My suggestion: If early check‑in isn’t possible, the hotel should either: Provide a dedicated shower room for guests waiting for their rooms, or Allow guests to access a room that is already free and clean it afterward. Although I have a company discount for my next visit, I will seriously consider paying a bit more elsewhere for a more comfortable stay.
Super
Very good. Without problem.
Nice room with really comfortable bed in excellent location convenient for travel and shops
Very nice hotel and reasonably priced
Wonderful understanding staff.
The room was small, the air conditioner didn’t work and the motel was not conveniently located to the downtown area.
Workers started drilling and hammering at 7am in the morning while other guests played loud music till 5am. Didn't get much sleep. Guy at reception was nice and really trying to help though; so props to him.
The room were very neat and the staff are nice. I like the overall color and ambience as well
great atmosphere, very friendly statt, spotless room & bathroom, superb breakfast, bus stop in front of Motel One Salzburg Süd
Eveything is Excellent Thank you!
Room temperature was very high, even I set up thermostat on 17 °C and the bathroom was +5°C warmer then the room, so all of my solid state cosmetics melted. Breakfast was very poor, with no warm food.
Nice hotel in the south of Salzburg. You can reach the inner city within 8-10 minutes by bus. Breakfast was very good!
everything was great
Alles prima
Excelent. It was my second stay at the hotel, and I plan to repeat in my next visit to Salzburg. All personal staff (reception, cleaning,..) we’re all super nice, polite, and helpful. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.
Very nice 👍
perfect
Fantastic economical hotel.
Modern hotel, nice comfortable room, cozy bar with selection of drinks. Breakfast area is too crowded.
Room was nice and comfortable, location was good right beside bus stations. Would be good to have a kettle in room though!
If you are coming to Salzburg to explore this beautiful city, I highly recommend staying at this hotel. The hotel is 3 km from the city center and has excellent public transport connections. The price of the accommodation is very affordable.
Overall Room quality ok as usual but we didnt get the bus ticket this time which should be included in the local tax. We were under time pressure, but still it should be provided by the staff.
Lovely room. Friendly helpful staff. Very nice stay!
As always. Fast check-in. Easy payment. Room was ok.
Alles super!
Very pleasant hotel, perfectly clean and well designed. Cocktails should be improved, while cappuccino and coffe were very good! I did not have breakfast , but two friends of mine told me that the buffet was excellent. It is not in the historic center, but the buses (stop just in front) reach downtown in 10-15 minutes. Recommended also for its value for money
Helpful, efficient and nice reception, bar and lounge area. free travel voucher provided for our stay too 🙂
Cosy and clean. Nice designs. However replace the paper mugs in the rooms. Improve noise isolation. The slamming doors and noise from the hallway are minuses. Nevertheless I could recommend this hotel. Good price-quality relation.
Good value for money in Salzburg. Nice bar/lounge area, breakfast included vegetarian and vegan options. Finding a hotel with parking can be difficult in Salzburg, but here you have two different parking options nearby. The centre is only a short bus ride away and Salzburg now provides mobility tickets for free if you stay overnight, so there are no extra costs for public transport.
Very nice rooms and lovely lobby to enjoy. So convenient to the bus station and easy to get to town. There were no mini refrigerators in the room, but a great shower, strong blow dryer and great TV.
Dear Motel One staff, I would like to thank you for leaving my phone exactly where I lost it. When I realized that my phone wasn’t with me, I assumed that I must’ve left it in the room somewhere. Once I got back to the room, it was still on the bathroom counter. I was very relieved. Greatly appreciated, Krongtong Boonprakong
Super nice staff! Great bar and nice rooms.
Parking is a bit intimidating. But we got done. Breakfast was Devine. Thank you so much. There were not any face cloths in the bathroom. Is that usual?
Super easy access by public transportation Enough room space Clean, newer and good atomospher Safety parking in basement Afordable breakfast
I was at the beone and signed up for it, it says there is a free water, but there was no free water. Service stuff was super nice
Alles Bestens - Motel One Like :-)
Comfortable and clean room. Ok location, easy to get to the centre of Salzberg via bus (takes about 20mins) not much in terms of places to eat around the hotel itself. No kettle or fridge in the room which was a bit out of the norm. The breakfast is not worth the money at all. Was about 17 euros each and it’s just pastries, fruit and cold meats/cheese. No hot breakfast except maybe a boiled egg. I’d say it’s worth 10 euros. Go up the road to Pur:isst for a brekky worth your money. Most staff were lovely just one let them down in the friendliness ratings.
I am a regular client, visiting the Salzburg Süd several times per month, and usually very satisfied. I find it regrettable that there is no more heating in days of temperatures as cold as 5 Celsius, regardless of what month. It makes the whole stay quite unpleasant, especially as the prices are much higher in May, and one has the feeling of paying much more for an inferior service. I work as a classical singer, I cannot risk being cold. Thanks in advance for thinking about this.
Generally positive experience. However, few things that we missed during our stay: - No bar fridge in the room - No water boiler - the bed is bit small - the service in the lobby could have been friendlier, the waitress was very rude! The waiters though were very friendly and helpful.
Imagine what happened to get at this point and instead of stay 7 days, check out on the next morning. (Ps. With 2 small children to look for somewhere) Dear Manager, Thank you very much for your kind assistance at the front desk during our check-in. I truly appreciate your warm welcome and support. As I mentioned at the time, there seems to have been a misunderstanding with my reservation. In my initial request, I specifically asked to reserve "1 The-One Queen", as stated in your offer. I also clearly noted that we were traveling as 2 adults and 2 children. When I received the confirmation, I was unable to review it thoroughly due to work commitments, but I trusted that it matched the details I had provided. Unfortunately, it appears that this assumption was incorrect, and I only realized the discrepancy upon arrival. I had already secured the reservation via the payment link without rechecking, trusting the process based on our previous correspondence. Now, this has put me in a difficult situation. I'm traveling with two small children, and organizing a trip nearly 800 km away from home is already quite challenging. Additionally, I am here on a business trip while my family is on holidays, and my company is covering the cost of a single room—but not a double. This means that, unless a solution can be found, I may need to check out tomorrow and look for alternative accommodation, which again is not easy to do while roaming with 2 kids and still need to work in the new office nearby. I sincerely apologize for not double-checking the confirmation, but I was led by the assumption that my written preference had been properly taken into account. Moreover, there was no clear information that a room cannot accommodate more than three people due to safety regulations. Had this been explicitly communicated earlier, I might have understood the limitations and planned accordingly. With that in mind, I would kindly ask if it’s possible to remain in the room with my family for the originally requested period, paying the rate for a single room, as quoted. I truly hope there is a way to make this work. Thank you once again for your understanding and for looking into this matter.
Excellent, clean facilities Unfortunately wifi wasn’t very fast and didn’t connect too well And Television didn’t seem to work however overall a great hotel and very good value for money!
Very good value
Overall experience was quite pleasant.
Alles super!

Hotel Salzburg Süd
Welcome to Motel One Salzburg-Süd, our hotel on Alpenstraße (‘Alp Street’) with a wonderful view of – you guessed it – the Alps! As you step foot in our affordable design hotel, you’ll turn your back on the mountains behind you, but worry not! More mountains will rise before your eyes. That's because the wall behind our bar and reception area is crafted from four layered plates of glass, depicting three of the Salzburg region’s famous mountains: the Ochsenkopf, the Drei Zinthörner and the Kitzsteinhorn. The bar itself is adorned in a mosaic of decorative wooden moulding and carvings. As you can see, our design in Motel One Salzburg-Süd has a masterfully hand-crafted flair. In the lounge, you’ll find cosy seating nooks covered in fabrics that take inspiration from traditional attire known as Trachten. The breakfast area delivers the final touch, with finely detailed light fixtures and black and white photographs by Edward Groeger – authentic portraits of people and daily life in the Salzburg region. You’ll also find Groeger's photographs featured prominently in your room, where they dazzle from their perch above the green, textured headboard. And as you know, our comfortable box spring beds are just one of our many traditions. You can also count on a hearty breakfast buffet, free WiFi, and friendly staff. With Motel One Salzburg-Süd, you’ve found the ideal place to stay – and to feel at home – during your Salzburg holiday.
Getting here is easy, too: from the central railway station, a simple bus connection will take you to our design hotel. Our location in the south of Salzburg makes our hotel the perfect starting point for your visit to the spectacular Hellbrunn Palace and surrounding park. The palace grounds are a masterpiece of garden architecture, and the Late Renaissance trick fountains are world famous. The hotel's proximity to public transit also makes it a breeze to get to Salzburg’s Old Town, located in the heart of the city. Likewise, the city’s top attractions are a stone’s throw from the hotel: Mozart’s birthplace, Mirabell Palace, Hohensalzburg Fortress, and Salzburg Cathedral are all well within your reach. Just in case you are still wondering, ‘What's worth seeing and doing in the Salzburg region?’, we have the answer. Just outside of Austria's fourth-largest city, alluring destinations and activities abound. Especially in summer, the area’s various lakes are the ideal place to spend the day on the beach or hop aboard a sailing boat. To get a taste for all that Salzburg has to offer, be sure to put Salzburger Nockerl – Salzburg's famous soufflé-like pastry – on your travel menu. Don’t miss a chance to stop by one of the many local restaurants, cafés or Gasthöfe.
