The Arthotel Blaue Gans (Blue Goose) claims descent from the oldest inn in Salzburg, which at first seems difficult to reconcile with its "art hotel" badge, but in many ways this reflects the hotel's success in combining modernity with heritage. We stayed at the hotel in April 2012. The best part of this hotel is the location - with a... More

We spent three nights at Arthotel. It's right on Griesgasse and so convenient to all major sights and bus stops. If you are coming from the train station, the #1 bus stops right across the street from the hotel. Bus #25 (to Untersburg) and #840 (to Berchtesgaden) is a block away. The room is simple with everything you need. Our... More

Stayed there over Christmas - lovely hotel, rooms large, decoration functional but with a sense of style. Service good, breakfast (included) was great, ate in the Restaurant one evening and that was also good. All in all nothing to complain about. More

We booked this hotel through Hotels.com for 3 nights. Upon arrival late at night, around 9pm, we realized that you cannot drive up to the hotel's front - you must park close-by and walk over with your luggage. I assume that due to our arrival time, there was no bellman to assist with our luggage. We had to make our... More

i am happy that you had a great time in and around salzburg. our tip for all drivers: put in "herbert von karajanplatz 3" in your navigation system. then it will lead you directly to our unloading area right infront of the hotel. drive savely! hope to see you again More

Room was nice....very nice for the price compared to other places I have stayed in Salzburg over the years (larger room than I was use to in hotels that are within the town). Front desk was very nice and accommodating. Breakfast buffet was very nice and great deserts as well. More

We have just spent nearly a week at Blaue Gans, booking 3 rooms for the whole family. We loved the modern room with art and very warm-coloured furniture. It is of very good taste and a good fusion in a very old building where the restaurant still looks 'traditional'. Great food, both breakfast buffet and dinner (venison and all...). Service... More

The location is great but somehow this hotel was not all that I had expected. We had booked a large room and it was pretty much as shown on the website. However we were shocked to find one wall had been drawn on! I asked reception if we could be moved and was told it was "artwork" by a famous... More

Took the wife here in early December for our wedding anniversary and quickly fell in love with the city, the Christmas markets and the gluhweine. The Arthotel Blaue Gans is right in the middle of it all, only a 10 Euro taxi from the airport, and nice an intimate. The bedroom was clean and well-decorated, albeit a bit on the... More

As a part of our roadtrip from Munich to Budapest, we stayed one night in Salzburg. In every city our priority of choosing a hotel was that it should be centrally located to save time. The location of Hotel Blaue Gans was perfect! The building is old and the rooms are simple, modern and functional - I guess the layout... More

We had two days at this hotel including Christmas day and it was just wonderful. From the friendly staff at the front desk, and everywhere else, to the breakfast, and the room which was delightful, nothing was left to chance. We stayed in a suite on the third floor and it was huge. We had a seperate room within the... More
