Small Luxury Hotel Goldgasse

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Goldglasse. It is a very small hotel. There is no lobby just a little room where we checked in by a delightful lady (sorry I didn't catch her name). She offered us a glass of sparkling wine or tea and then showed us to our room. The room was very spacious with a separate seating area. The bathroom was clean, bright and modern and the shower was great. The little details sometimes make or break a hotel stay for me and there was such great attention to detail here. There were luxury feeling products in the bathroom including conditioner and body lotion which you often don't get. There was a kettle as well as a high quality coffee maker. Even the hairdryer was of a much better standard than normal hotel hairdryers. The bed was very comfortable. The location is great - right in the old town and not more than 10 mins walk from all the main sights. Lovely bakery at the end of the road (turn right out of the hotel). Overall a great little hotel that I would highly recommend.

We felt very welcome at Hotel Goldgasse. The building is very old and characterful, with rooms that look modern and cool, decorated with splashes of bold colour and an opera theme. There is an inclusive minibar (soft drinks and Nespressos), and a glass of fizz on arrival. I was worried that Brits wouldn’t be popular after Brexit but Goldgasse (and Salzburg generally) made us feel very at home. Beds are huge with 2 x single duvets. They invite you to not have the chambermaid service any day you please saving you €10 which was good. As other reviewers have said, the manager is a big personality, which is part of the charm. They were very helpful with any questions, taxis etc. They also provide umbrellas which is a nice touch. The location is the best part. All the main attractions; Mozarts birthplace, the fortress, Dom Quartier, Catacombs etc all nearby, and being nestled in a pedestrian cobbled street was lovely. Breakfast is 7-10am and the moment you sit down someone will simply say ‘Eggs - fried, scrambled or omelette??’ at you. Rest assured you don’t have to have eggs - a platter of ham, bread, cheese, croissants, jams coffee and juice will arrive shortly after. If you plan to do the Sound of Music or Hallstatt tours (we did both) they leave from Mirabell Palace is about 15-20 mins walk away.

We stayed at Hotel Golgasse in Salzburg in May 2025. If I could give this hotel a six star rating, I would. Firstly, the lady who runs the hotel is an absolute delight. Her name is Ulrike. She shows a genuine warmth and care for her guest. A check in process with Ulrike which is unrivalled anywhere we have been in the world. Welcome drinks, and a warm towel upon arrival. The rooms are beautiful and decorated with modern fixtures. Shower and bathroom very clean and soaps and shampoos are of a very high quality. The rooms smell amazing and when you return after a busy day sightseeing, it is so nice to come home to a nice smelling and serviced room. Beds comfortable. Hotel located in the old part of town and in close walking distance to the major attractions. This hotel comes with my highest of recommendations.
