Read moreThe whole experience from the very first communication with the staff of The Mozart Hotel regarding booking and relevant infromation to the check-out was outstanding and certainly reflected its very good score and reviews.
The staff first of all was always very kind and happy to assist you to whichever wishes and requests you had.
Given the fact that our stay was in the middle of September 2021, amid Covid19, our expectations in terms of cleanliness, compliance with measures and comfort were pretty high. Nevertheless, The Mozart Hotel excelled in these areas, with the room and bathroom as well as with the common areas being exceptionally clean, tidy and with a very sweet scent of comfort.
The room itself (Cosy room) was spacious and comfortable enough, with plenty of amenities, ranging from the very comfortable and relaxing bed and the spacious wardrobe, to the small extras one could find within the room, for instance the Nespresso capsules and coffee maker and the small care products found within the beautiful bathroom. Worth mentioning is the fact that it had large capacity body and hair shampoo packs within the bathroom, without having to worry thus, about running out of shampoo quickly.
Moreover, the experience of having breakfast in The Mozart Hotel was also outstanding as it was plenty enough and even more than one would expect. Due to Covid19 measures, you had the possibility during the previous day to choose between three types of breakfast according to your taste and needs (lactose-free also offered) with the ability also to order extras, such as eggs and omelette with no extra charge. Of course, during our breakfast the staff was more than happy to serve us with more cheese, ham, bread, croissant and coffee upon request.
The hotel itself is located in a very central and beautiful, yet quiet and calm area within Salzburg, and within walking distance not only from the central market place of Slazburg, but also from the old town and the Fortress as well.
As a highlight, apart from the whole relaxing and beautiful atmosphere the hotel displayed, I would mention the ability of having a glass of tasty wine or cocktail right outside of the hotel, where a couple of round tables and chairs for sitting can be found, on which you could gather with friends and have some good time during the evening with a view to the picturesque streets of Salzburg.
Overall, as we are considering The Mozart Hotel for staying next time we visit Salzburg during winter time, I would certainly and wholeheartedly recommend this hotel for your next stay in Salzburg as we were fully satisfied with the services, the hotel itself and of course its value according to the...
