| Hotel is within walking distance from the Central Railway Station. There is a bus stop in front (easy to get off after return from Old Town). The beautiful Mirabell Garden is just 5 minutes walk across the street. Restaurant offers great food and varieties - make sure to include breakfast option (inclusive) during stay. Our room is on 5th floor facing the main street - somewhat noisy, warm and facing the sun in the afternoon. Air-conditioning is moderate and barely acceptable (early May). Hotel receptionists may not offer much help in planning sightseeing points of interest. They ran out of 1-day Salzburg Card and we had to buy ours at the Panorama Sound of Music ticket booth across from Mirabell Garden. We bought the SOM 4-hr. tour too - worth the $, rather than from the Hotel. |

| Although the internet is free but it is only one pc located in the lobby. In addition, we ordered ice and have to pay for it! In addition, the hotel is far away from the train station and you have to take either bus or taxi specially if you have lugages to reach the hotel. Good to mention that they have an excellent breakfast |

| The Stieglbrau, SALZBURG, Austria was very convienient to the train, which was a major plus. The beds were a little on the hard side, but not too uncomfortable. The staff was friendly, meals were very good. |

| Excellent hotel offering good value for money and service and close to the old city of Salzburg. The restaurant is pretty good as well. While its location is not ideal - on a busy road and close to the main railway line - the hotel seems very quiet and its many attractive features, not least its close proximity to the main railway station, more than compensate for its location. |

| Upon our train arrival from Munich to Salzburg station, we had a nice easy 10 minute walk to the Best Western Steiglbrau. The hotel staff were very friendly and gave us advice walking into the old town of Salzburg...it was less than 15 minutes away. And what was great...we had the opportunity to enjoy Octoberfest activities...beer, food and traditional dancing, etc. The room had good amenities...confortable bed...the doors, bathroom, fixtures were nice touches to the hotel room. The Buffet Breakfast was a great way to end our stay in this fine hotel |

| Very friendly staff - the man at the front desk welcomed us to Salzburg and gave us all of the information that we asked for. We were able to book our tour at the desk and we got picked up in front of the hotel. Great breakfast - just a little crowded at times, but a very good variety of food. |

| Ottimo hotel. Posizione quasi centrale. A piedi in 10 minuti sei nel centro storico, oppure con bus (fermata a pochi metri). Camera molto ampia e comoda. Ricca prima colazione, annesso ristorante (non utilizzato) e parcheggio gratuito (utilizzato). Prezzo un po' elevato, ma d'altra parte si è in centro Salisburgo (e tutta la città rispetto ad altre zone d'Austria, ha prezzi alti). |

| non hanno ricevuto la prenotazione effettuata tramite Venere ma sono stati gentilissimi, invece che una doppia abbiamo alloggiato in una twins che costa anche meno.Il costo è un pò eccessivo ma paghi la vicinanza al centro, si evitano così i costi per i trasporti. |

| The hotel is overlooking the railway lines but the windows are soundproofed. The airconditioning was not working, however the hotel staff was not willing to acknowledge this (!) and repair it. Worst of all was that an important message was not forwarded and when complaints were raised the woman at the front desk was extremely rude. The restaurant is really the best feature of the hotel; the breakfast is very nice. |

| We absolutely loved this hotel. The staff were very helpful, they even provided us with umbrellas because it was raining. The rooms were very nice and clean, the breakfast satisfactory and the location excellent. The old town is 15 min walk away or 5 min by bus.I don't have anything negative to write, it was a perfect choice. |

| This is an excellent hotel. I would reccomend it. It is not right in the center of the town, but probably about a 15 minute walk. The train station is very close though, so if you are taking a train into Salzburg, it is only about a 5 to 10 minute walk. One of the things we liked about our hotel, is that it has access to an internet, not in our room, but near our room, down the hall (we were on the first floor). |

| I was pleased by the hotel's proximity to downtown and the central train station. We walked to both with no problem. The people at the desk were helpful and the room was a pleasant surprise - light and very spacious, with a super-comfortable bed! The prices quoted inside the room were much more than we were quoted online (and which we paid). It seemed to be two hotels in one, which was a tad confusing but didn't really matter. The breakfast was, as they advertised, plenty! Unless you want something cosy and absolutely central, I would recommend this place to anyone. |

| Non ci è sembrato esattamente un 4 stelle, ma più scadente. guardacaso proprio accanto all'hotel c'è n'è un altro della stessa compagnia che è effettivamente un quattro stelle. il nostro sembrava quello di serie b. |

| very nice considering some of the other Best Westerns we went to. Restaurant could have tried to be more helpful as far as service and seating but overall it was a pleasant stay and we would go there again. Great location. in the center of town and had tours available for pick up at hotel. |
