Hotel Krone 1512

We loved our stay at Krone 1512. The hotel is in the shopping district of the old town. We arrived at the train station and had a taxi drop us at the hotel. The hotel is in a pedestrian zone, so no thru traffic allowed down the street they are on which was nice. The hotel rooms are a bit small, but we asked for a quiet room and they put us on the 4th floor in the back of the hotel. No air conditions, but the weather was cool and we were able to leave our window open which allowed for cool breezes to blow into the room. Our room looked out over a backyard patio and rock cliff that had trees and many birds that sang back and forth. After a long day of walking through Salzburg, it was nice to lay on the bed with the window open and relax with the fresh mountain air coming through the window. The office clerk is available from early morning till 3pm, but if you arrive after 3pm, some one will be around to check you in. The elevator is quite small, but can fit 2 people with luggage comfortably. The breakfast is an add on to the cost of your room. The breakfast was adequate, pastries, cereal, fruit, bread, meats and cheeses, you can even boil an egg. They did not offer hot foods like scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages or pancakes. They did have a multi purpose coffee machine that made all sorts of coffees and was available 24 hours a day. The hotel was nice, easy to find and was in the perfect spot for shopping and tons of restaurants. In 3 minutes you can walk across the river to more shops and restaurants and easily get to the castle and Mirabell Gardens. There are numerous churches in Salzburg and a few of them ring their bells every quarter hour with a full complement of bells being rung on the hour from 6am to 10pm, so, be prepared.

Very good location and parking spot is 5 min walking away. Parking costs 14 euros a day with a parking card from reception. The rooms are very small and the bathroom also. After 3 pm you have to check-in through the coffee place nearby. Wi-fi pass: salzburg1512.

We arrived after the front desks was closed but the instructions said to check in at the bar next door. The bar tender never skipped a beet and led us into the hotel and got us all signed in and keyed up. The breakfast was good and the day staff were friendly and spoke great English. The location is the key. It is a short walking distance to every thing.

Fantastic hotel in the old town but central to everywhere. Rooms are spotlessly clean and the beds are so comfortable. Each room is decorated tastefully and the hotel has a real homely feel about it , the breakfast is continental but more than adequate. The hotel also has a wonderful little bar full of charm and atmosphere. I travelled with my son and daughter to celebrate my daughter and I birthday. The hotel was reasonably priced and met all our expectations. The hotel manager Nikolaj was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and could not do enough for us. We would recommend this hotel for a perfect stay in Salzburg! Whilst you are there, The Sound of Music Tour is a must. We also did the Bertchesgarden and Salt Mines Tour which was fascinating. A major to do is a trip up the Untersberg mountain in Salzburg which is easily reached by the No 5 or 25 bus which takes you straight to the cable car. Salzburg is a wonderful place to visit and if we came again we would certainly stay in this little gem of a hotel!

Outstanding place to stay. The only weakness was the wifi, being third floor up it wasn't strong enough to stay connected. But the hotel and staff were great

Great location. Little older hotel and likely one of the smallest elevators we’ve been in, but it was clean, staff was friendly, and convenient location. Super convenient to Mirabelplatz (gardens, Christmas market, and the meeting place for the Sound of Music bus tour).

Very helpful assistance from the welcoming front desk staff. Very agreeable accommodation in a 500-year old building. Excellent location that’s within comfortable walking distance to Festung Hohensalzburg, Dom du Salzburg, and other attractions in Alt Stadt. Convenient access to public transportation (Hellbrunn Palace), and train station: Hbf. Salzburg.

Perfect location for exploring Salzburg. Beautiful quaint streets with shops and bars. Very helpful staff.

Well run, exactly as advertised, location amazing, friendly staff, helpful staff (when we ran into a non-hotel problem), nice little breakfast….. just what we needed. My only advice to future guests is that room is simple. That’s not a bad thing, but it’s not a Hilton or Marriott if that’s what you’re expecting. Everything was super clean, comfortable, and worked perfectly. Ideally you’re not in your room a lot anyway, you are at most a 10 minute walk from the highlights, and usually closer.
