Hotel Via Roma

We were in Europe for 18 days and I ranked this hotel as one of the best place to stay in that is within our budget: Spacious bathroom, plenty of hot water , comfortable and clean beds. Our room faces the fortress which I forgot to take a photo but attached a photo of the hotel from the fortress itself. Parking is free but as it’s first come first serve one could pay for a reserved lot to guarantee a lot. We didn’t opt for paid parking lot but the very nice man manning the Reception showed us where to park . We were impressed by how patient and kind he was going outside with us to point the bus stop and coming behind with us to show us where to park , especially when the couple he served before us was unnecessarily rude and curt . This man is a gem - he continued to be polite despite being treated without respect and even apologised for keeping us waiting. What beautiful manners! There were a pair of Mozart chocolates besides the bedside which we appreciate. A kettle and tea cups would make our stay even perfect haha - a gentle hint to the management

Well, I don't understand why people say they were surprised to find out the hotel is not in Salzburg's city centre. Indeed it is in the suburb of Nonntal. So? No problem at all as there are buses that go straight to the city within 10min or so. Bus No 5 is 3min away, bus No 25 approx 6min (if you wanna visit Palace Hellbrunn this bus would take you there in around 10min too). The receptionist was really lovely and friendly and even researched the bus timetable (there is also an app for Salzburg transport...all easy). We stayed there for one night only. The price of around 155 Euros was quite high and we didn't know why. The room itself was nice and clean, the bathroom very spacious (if you wanna take dance lessons, take the dance teacher there...plenty of space...joking apart, really nice), free wifi, comfy beds, air con, we got a room with a view (Hello, Salzburg fortress!) and breakfast was included (buffet, plenty of choices). Also there is free parking which was a bit of a hassle as guests of the Italian restaurant within the building would park their cars there too. But: the receptionist showed us where to park. You can park almost anywhere behind the hotel. If there is no parking lot available you can park the car in the hotel area for 3hrs for free (and when the guests of the pizzeria have left you get your car there...easy). Would we recommend it? Yes, but maybe there are cheaper options available. Who knows.

Si tratta di un 4 stelle non proprio centrale ma scelto soprattutto per la presenza di un parcheggio (si viaggiava in auto) che, però, è a disponibilità: se è pieno, bisogna parcheggiare altrove. Offre, comunque, alcuni posti al coperto a pagamento. La struttura è moderna, le camere ampie e ben fornite anche se lascia perplesso il bagno un po' piccolo nella struttura lavandino/tazza ma con un enorme piano doccia ricavato da una parte della camera da letto e separato da essa con un vetro smerigliato. La colazione è uaho!: dolci a volontà con dei croissant enormi e buonissimi; un buon caffé e tanto salato. C'erano pure delle mousse di frutta al cucchiaio squisite e molti succhi di frutta. D'altronde il prezzo non è da poco. Per raggiungere il centro o si cammina per 15 minuti o si prende il filobus n. 5 dalla fermata prospiciente l'ingresso: ricordatevi che il biglietto singolo costa € 3 quindi meglio comprare la Salzburg Card che offre il tragitto gratis.
