My girlfriend and I just returned from a 2 week trip to Austria. Started in Vienna, went to Melk, cruised the Danube and then to Salzburg. The Goldene Ente was a treasure, located in the heart of old Salzburg. Ulrike, the front desk woman, was probably the nicest and most helpful person we have ever encountered on our many trips... more

What can I say about Hotel Golden Ente. We had four fantastic nights in this Hotel, and right now I cant wait to go back. We arrived from Munich via the train, and before I arrived I e-mailed the Hotel to advise them we would not be arriving until about 8.00pm and to ask for directions to the hotel from... more

Our son and his wife had stayed at the Goldene Ente 10 years ago and highly recommended it to us. The location in the Old Town of Salzburg is perfect and it is a hotel with character as the building is very old, but well kept. The breakfast was very good too. The restaurant on the ground floor has the... more

The hotel is wonderfully convenient to the main Salzburg sights and in the midst of the pedestrian area. The furnishings of the room were adequate but spartan. The bed was good. It was really hot and sleeping was difficult because our room had little ventilation and no AC. Breakfast was excellent and had a wide variety of breads, meats, eggs,... more

Although this hotel was a bit pricey, it was definitely worth being right in the center of the action. The location was excellent. We had a room facing the back--no view, but it was so nice, quiet, and romantic. My parents had a room on the street and said it was a bit noisy at night and early morning, but... more

Stayed here in mid June with a group of friends on a mature ladies hen-weekend. We had the top floor apartment which was lovely as we all got to stay together rather than in separate hotel rooms. The apartment was spotlessly clean with a large bathroom and an extra separate toilet. There was also a small kitchen which was very... more

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in mid-July. The cab ride from the train station was 8 Euros and took just a few minutes. I can't imagine a better location... just steps away from the Residenzplatz and cathedral, and right in the heart of a pedestrian-only area filled with shops, cafes, and everything you could want. The TI... more

I stayed at Hotel Golden Ente for three nights with my daughter on our trip to Austria, and Germany. I found the hotel via the internet, and had to change dates once. Email correspondence with Ulrike was prompt, and professional. She made the stay so wonderful! It was as if we knew her all of our lives. She helped us... more

We landed in Salzburg by an overnight train from Frankfurt am Main at three in the morning, and guess what without any accomodation booking! The information centre at the station opened at I think at 8.00am and the lady got us not only a double room at the Goldene ente but at a fabulous rate. Ulrika, I think that's her... more
