What guests think

At Design Hotel zum Hirschen Salzburg, guests highlight a handy location near the station, renovated interiors, welcoming staff, and a quality breakfast, while wellness facilities like the sauna and gym impress; some find the immediate neighborhood less charming.

Rooms are often spacious and comfortable, though a few note smaller layouts, limited soundproofing and warm temperatures or weaker AC; several mention the absence of an in-room fridge or phone. Service is widely praised for warmth and helpfulness, but there are occasional hiccups with billing, parking or check-in/out, and housekeeping missed or inconsistent on some stays. Breakfast draws frequent praise, though some consider it pricey or uneven; expect a convenient, well-designed base.

Staff was very warm and welcoming plus helpful when asked questions. Room relatively small but it appears to have been recently renovated so everything is new and working with brand new shower, faucets and flooring. There is an attached parking (not free) but this makes it convenient in such a busy town with limited street parking. Overall great experience.

It was nice to stay in the apartment. So kind, cozy, comfortable, and quiet. The cleaning was a little bit not satisfied. The balcony and the floor in the room were dusty with some hairs and the electric pot was dirty. But I liked everything here.

Stay was fine. They said they'd make it special for us for Christmas, but actually didn't even get the basics right. One day they forgot to clean the room. Hotel is fine. Nothing special. Breakfast is nice, but not for the money.

The rooms are beautifully decorated, and the staff is friendly and helpful. However, the walls and floors are thin. You can hear doors banging and chairs scraping at all hours, as well as noise from nearby apartments. The brunch was touted as exceptional, but the hot foods (eggs, sausages, etc.) were barely warm. Compared to the others we had eaten over the previous two weeks, this was not worth the 25 euros per person. While the photo of the hotel is accurate, the neighborhood isn't great. It is, however, only a 5-minute walk to the train station.

Do didn't like that the receptionist, on check-in, forgot to ask for and enter the car plate on the parking database. Consequently we couldn't get out of the garage, had to go back to front desk, causing us a 30 minute delay for an appointment.

Issue with check-in and check-out. Parking is not really ideal, had to pull up outside on the street to unload luggage because there really is no place to park I gave the front desk person my license plate number as requested when I checked in. When I checked out there was confusion about payment/parking. I paid then left and when I went to leave the parking garage, I had to pay again to get out so I had to park in an inconvenient location to go back in where the front desk lady seemed confused as to why I paid again and didn’t just call her. She then asked if I gave the night front desk person my license plate number, to which I replied I did. Meanwhile I had to explain that it isn’t convenient to sit in the parking garage to call nor to have a convenient place to park. Eventually the extra parking fee was credited back but I spent an extra 15 minutes of my day trying to sort it out.

Was close to the train station a 5 minute walk with nice sidewalks. Location was great could walk to old town in 25 minutes or transit is close by. Area felt safe to walk and there are lots of food choices in a 10 minute walking area. Bed was firm and bedding/ towels in good shape. The only issue we had were the pillows...to soft felt either used alot or cheap. Hotel itself is in good shape and the sauna on 4th floor is gorgeous. We enjoyed our stay and definetly recommend it.

We loved the design of the hotel (and even asked for the contact of the designer) and loved the mattress we slept on (probably the best mattress we ever tried), however we did not appreciate the lack of services in the hotel. There is no restaurant to eat at night and the bar seems to be always unattended. Overall it was very good but it would be great if you can add a more humanly touch to it !
