On the surface this property seems great, and for the most part, is. The staff was kind and helpful, the location was great, and it was easy to check in/out. I am giving this hotel a poor rating because of the noise in its location. Myself and those I stayed with got hardly any sleep due to noise outside of the hotel throughout all hours of the night. Recognize this is not a fault of the hotel, per se but they could reinforce the windows or even warn guests ahead of time. Additionally, for the price paid for the hotel the parking should be free.

Very well located in old town. The room provided the basics expected for a European 1-star facility. The refridgerator in the room was a plus.

Serving as a hotel in the summer months when it isn't a dorm makes this room hard to beat for price. Location is great and the rooms were very clean. We stayed in a room near the front on the second floor so it was a bit loud. Temperatures were very warm during our stay and the lack of air conditioning made it extremely warm at night. Since we are from the states this probably was worse for us but it is something that you need to take into account while traveling. Front desk staff was courteous and helpful. This hotel has its own washer and dryers which was very convenient for us on this long trip. There is not breakfast option although instant coffee (much better than US instant) is available with some cake in the morning.

I found out while I was there that this hotel actually serves as a dorm for University students from October to June). Makes complete sense. The place was very spartan and had zero amenities (toilet paper, two bars of soap and a small flat screen TV propped atop a fridge). There was a bar basically on the premises on the other side that was noisy until the wee hours of the morning.
Having said that, I will give credit where credit is due: excellent location - steps from Linzergrase and the bridges across the river to the old town, the price (extremely reasonable which should have clued me in), and the staff - young University students who were super pleasant and helpful.

I stayed here in July 2022 and loved it! It was not fancy but it was clean and the staff were incredibly friendly. It is in a great central location: close to public transportation and the city center. My only complain is that there was no air conditioning, but that would not be an issue in non-summer months. I would certainly stay here again!

Very clean rooms, good wifi. Only the beds were a bit on the hard side for me. Location is really close to anywhere you want to be. Be prepared of course for some noise from the restaurants and bars next door in case you need to leave the window open

Book this Ho(s)tel you would like to pay over 70 Euros for a disgraceful single room full of spider webs with no bathroom, no breakfast, no air conditioning.
Never before I had the feeling of paying so much for so little. A rip off?

This place was such a great find! Right in the old part of town, with nearby easy parking options and the use of an elevator for my older parents. Restaurants, shops, Mozart’s birthplace are all a few steps away as well as so many of the main sights in Salzburg. They also offer free tea and coffee downstairs all day, and cake in the mornings. Would definitely stay here again!

Staffs were very good during check in and check out. Helping me with my luggages, taxi and gave me tips to roam around salzburg. The room was extremely clean and comfy, they dont have breakfast but 24hrs coffee/tea/chocolate and cookies at the common room.
2.5
Reception was friendly, room was really spacious, common toilet and shower was clean. Downside is that it’s a little expensive but other than that all’s good. Neighbourhood is nice too. Lots of restaurants nearby.

This is a great little place. The staff are friendly, the rooms are a good size and very comfortable. The location is good too - easy walking distance to the main landmarks in Salzburg. If you dont mind shared toilets/showers this is a real find

The young man who worked the desk was truly fantastic. He locked our bags up so we could explore the next day before leaving. He was so helpful. The location was fantastic. The restaurants with outside dining were absolutely fantastic in the evenings. The property is a little older, so there will be floor creaking and the rooms are not totally updated, but for us it is part of the nostalgia and did not bother us; however, I was traveling with my son, and we just want a clean room and comfortable bed.

I rented a room with a private bathroom, rather than sharing. The room was nice, the bed comfortable (new, not like makeshift one mentioned on another review here or on Google), and the shower worked well. The staff were helpful and polite at all times. The only downside was some noise on Friday and Saturday nights. I had a room on the back of the hotel, so the noise was coming from the next street back - some music, but mainly annoying drunk people. It was not hot, so I had the windows closed, otherwise it may have prevented me from getting a good nights sleep. The location is very convenient for sites on both sides of the river, and for getting to/from the main train station. I would stay here again, and recommend it to others. If youre a light sleeper, ask if rooms on the from are available, though I am not sure that street is quiet at night.

Good location, walkable distance to the city centre and attractions, even to the rail station, also public transit nearby. The hotel is basic but clean, a bit noisy. The bed was not too comfortable but ok. No breakfast but free cookies and tea all the time - that was nice.
1.0
Super basic room with a communal bathroom, but super cheap which made it worthy. The area is fantastic - you are in the heart of it all and a short walking distance to every site Salzburg has to offer. The only true drawback of staying here is that the cleaning women would start their rounds at 8am and were very noisy. They woke me up both mornings of my stay shouting back and forth at each other in the room next door and in the hall.

The Hotel Schwarzes Rossl is a great little hotel, located perfectly in the city center. The hotel is simple but will meet all your needs. It’s clean, comfortable and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful. There are lots of restaurants in the area. Highly recommend.

Located in the centre of Salzburg, this is an inexpensive, functional and clean hotel which did the job just fine. The one minor downside is that to access the shower and toilet, one had to venture along the corridor to use the facilities. Nonetheless, at the price offered, this was no big deal. Staff were friendly and courteous and Id be happy to recommend the hotel to friends.

The best part of this hotel is location. It is on walking distance from some of the attractions like Mozarts birthplace and Salzburg town walk. Staff is wonderful and kind. They always have coffee, tea, and water available, which comes handy when you need to take a little break and relax in the cute outdoor patio. There was not AC, but we really didnt need it. It rained during our stay so the weather was pleasant. I opened the windows at night and it felt so good. We were also able to leave our bags in the storage room after we check out since our bus was leaving until later in the afternoon. I would definitely stay here again!

Good location; helpful smiling kind staff. Well priced with complimentary breakfast included. Only suggestion is to fix bathroom fan ventilation and provide more pillows. But still good night sleep and good comfort.Thanks

Location was fantastic. Rooms were very clean, wifi was good and breakfast was typical. Few extras (ie. no soap or shampoo in the rooms) but a great place to stay for the price. You step out of your hotel onto a nice pedestrian street with a fountain and several cafe. Minutes from the river and Mozart Platz.
