This is a review of the restaurant, not the hotel. I was introduced to Gasthaus Hinterbrühl in 1971 when I was a participant in the first semester of a study program sponsored by Illinois State University and Northern Illinois University, a program that became Salzburg College. I have dined at Gasthaus Hinterbrühl every time I have returned to Salzburg since then. In the past five days I have had dinner here twice. The first time I ordered Schweinshax'n with Knödel and cabbage salad: the knuckle was wonderfully cooked: moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. DELICIOUS! The second time I ordered Wiener Schnitzel (veal), and it was amazing: the breading was light, yet crisp, and the veal was still juicy and tender. It is usually served with warm potato salad, but I asked for a substitution of red cabbage (which they call blue cabbage) YUMMY! It's the best of all of the Schnitzels I've eaten on this trip. In addition to delicious food, you will be hosted by two knowledgeable, charming, and jovial owners: siblings Alex and Verena; the expert chef is Verena's husband Dennis (who used to work at Kloster Andechs near Munich). They have kept the menu small but interesting. Try the appetizers or desserts too; you will be delighted with their taste and artistry.

Read moreThis place is reachable by bus (a few stops away) from the main train station. I booked the double room with shared bathroom. Both room and shared bathroom are clean and towels are provided. There is no lift in the building. There is no aircon but it feels ok as we left the window opened. Check-in is only till 8pm, which might be an issue if you are arriving late, or had a flight delay. I text the accomodation that I will be arriving late as my flight was delayed at the last minute. Someone waited for me till 9pm. As mentioned by other reviewers, most attractions are within walking distance. When we checked out, we checked with the lady who is cleaning up the rooms if we can leave the luggage with them for half a day and she allowed us to leave them inside till 12noon. Our room was on the 3rd floor and it was slightly noisy on a Friday night. Overall, it was a good place to stay for the price. No comment for the restaurant as I did...
