ACHAT Plaza Zum Hirschen Salzburg

The staff were helpful with all our questions and were happy to bring us extra pillows when we asked. The room on the first floor was lovely, spacious, and very quiet, with a large, really hot shower. The beds were quite hard and the pillows very soft, which was my only criticism. I’d stay again.

The staff were really friendly, and it was a great stay. The room had tea and coffee making facilities. The hotel’s nicely decorated, with a good location not far from the train station. Bus stops nearby make it easy to get into town, and having a supermarket across the road was really handy.

The lodge-like interior is charming, and there’s an open garden out back. The service is pleasant, but getting your order can take a long time, and with several rooms and sections it’s often hard to find a staff member. The food was only okay. The cheese dumplings barely tasted of cheese and seemed like lumps of dough. The chicken schnitzel came with a strange cranberry compote that tasted suspiciously like the raspberry jam from breakfast. Indoors, it can get awfully stuffy since there’s no air conditioning.

The front of house staff were really great and made us feel welcome, which matters a lot in a hotel. It’s a quaint, clean, comfortable place near the train station and next to the Shell station. The toilets were huge and separate. Our bed was two twin beds pushed together. The building is a little old, but quite livable.
