Stylish boutique. Great location in the center of the city. Amazing front desk staff.

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Sep 29, 2019
My wife and I spent 2 lovely night in this stylish and charming hotel. The location was absolutely the best. We were within walking distance to every attraction. Our room was spacious and bright.

The cleaning staff was very friend, but the front desk girls steal the show. NINA was so accommodating and managed to book us a reservation at Restaurant Ikarus, where we had the most amazing dinner. Our most favorite front desk help was LISA. What a gem they have in her. She was beyond delightful and charming. We want to thank her making our experience even better than expected.

We can't wait to come back!

It's really hard to know how to rate this hotel. On the one hand, it's location is excellent. You can walk anywhere through the old city and it's surrounding attractions. This hotel is a unique establishment featuring all types of quirky art work and room designs. Our room was a semi-suite with an extremely small bathroom. Some rooms have two sink bathrooms and others are very small and in need of updating. Our room was clean and quiet. However, there are some serious problems with this hotel that will definitely drive me to search for another hotel on my next stay. First--it is very hard to find personnel at the front desk. Check in took 15 minutes--15 minutes for anyone to show up at the front desk and it was only 6:00 p.m. Rarely was there anyone at the front desk. Give yourself 10-30 minutes at the front desk with any request or need. The cleaning crew left the vacuum in the hallway throughout the day and never refilled our refrigerator. Our room did not have a coffee machine. Please read other reviews. Safety at this hotel is an issue. Parking is complicated and located in a parking garage a good distance from the hotel. There is no valet to help with your luggage or parking so be prepared. The breakfast was okay, but once again the staff was minimal, slow and frequently forgot to bring us the food we requested. If you want to eat an evening meal at this hotel, be sure and make reservations. They will turn you away without a reservation--rudely turn you away. Sorry Blaue Gans, but you need to do some work.

Stylish design hotel with super comfy rooms, really nice bathrooms and delicious food. Perfect location right in the city center. Just make sure you ask for directions on how to arrive by car and where to park as it can be tricky given that the hotel is located in a pedestrian area. It is easy though as one can arrive from the back side by car and then use a parking place nearby.

My first trip to Salzburg was about 10 years ago, and I also stayed here at Blaue Gans. On this most recent trip, the staff were exceptionally welcoming and friendly and very helpful in answering our questions and making sure that we got all or the information we needed to find our way around and to also ensure we were comfortable during our stay. I really like the boutique feel of the hotel and that the rooms are designed in a way that's modern, but comfortable.

If you stay in this part of the city, take note that it's a very busy tourist area. However, I also find this to be something which does not take away from the charm of the area - not like other cities. Getting back to the safe, quiet haven of the Blaue Gans was perfect.

There isn't much that I could fault with the hotel at all. The only thing that all 3 of us had issues with, was the connectivity of the internet. It kept dropping off. Even thought I was on holiday with my family, there's always work to be done and I would it a little difficult to get things done. They might consider looking into improving wifi connectivity throughout the hotel.

Room tip: Getting to some of the rooms is a bit of a maze. Mr room overlooked the Getreidegasse, but double windows kept it absolutely quiet.

Stayed for 2 nights and had a wonderful time. Check in was a breeze and the young lady at the front desk was amazing (personable, warm, and bubbly). Our room was spacious and great for unwinding after days of exploring the city. Breakfast was yummy and plentiful. Can't beat the location.
