I love Salzburg and have stayed there many times......but I was shocked at how rundown the Goldener Hirsch has become..... I was there before the festival started and was shown several rooms....... They were all somewhat dreary and wreaked of smoke....evidently it's one of the last hotels in the world to allow people to smoke anywhere. All rooms on the... more

We recently spent six nights at the amazing Goldener Hirsch. This lovely hotel is worth every penny you spend there. Upon our arrival we were informed that we had been upgraded to a suite. The rooms were spacious with windows on the cities main shopping street. Service was perfection. The friendly staff made sure every request (no matter how large... more

We were given a room in the annex which was cramped, though the bath was quite large, with a separate toilet room. The location is superb and is on the main shopping/sightseeing street. The staff at the reception was extremely helpful and they even spoke to Sixt (car rental) to pick up my car from the hotel (though it was... more

From the fabulous location on the picturesque Getreidegasse to the light and airy rooms, the Hotel Goldener Hirsch was the perfect place to call home during our short Salzburg holiday. We were upgraded upon arrival and enjoyed large rooms with plenty of walking room. No cramped quarters here. The beds were heavenly. Our bathrooms were large with 5-star showers and... more

Upon arrival we were assigned a room in the annex across the street from the main hotel. We complained and were told we could have a room in the main building if we wished. Upon checking out the room in the annex we decided to stay there. The room there was larger with a spacious sitting area and a large... more

My husband and I stayed here for four nights and loved it. It's a sort of upscale hunting lodge in a building that dates from the middle ages. There are stone archways throughout. Our room was very roomy and well appointed. The bathrobes and slippers were hanging on the bathroom door waiting for us. The reception desk was always very... more

I was expecting something more luxurious. The Luxury Collection hotels in Europe which were part of the CIGA group based on my stay and other reviews have lost their luster. It's nice enough, and I got an excellent rate. My room was very large but very tired. The bath had a bath/shower combination. There was something tacky about the room.... more

I know this sounds a bit over the top, but it's true! We have stayed in quite a few of the "best's" on the usual lists, including Villa d"Este, Danieli, etc., but the Goldener Hirsch keeps on rising to the top of our list as our favorite place to stay in Europe. The ambiance is quite different from the typical... more
