Hotel Scherer is an excellent choice for a stay in Salzburg. It is conveniently within walking distance of the main train station, yet located on a quiet, leafy street that feels almost suburban. The historic centre is an easy walk away, and there is also a bus stop just around the corner.
The city tax includes public transport, and the hotel kindly prints the passes for the full duration of your stay. While the room décor is a little dated, the bathrooms are modern and impeccably clean. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful—they even lent us cushions to take to a performance of "Jedermann".
Breakfast was excellent, with a wide range of options and a particularly good cappuccino. I would absolutely stay here again.
Lovely hotel within easy walking distance of the Hauptbahnhof. Also reasonable distance to many of the city's attractions but the new (in 2025) Public Transport Guest Mobility Ticket is great as it less than 100m from hotel to a bus stop to travel into the city for free.
The bed was very comfortable and the air conditioning worked very well so we both slept very well.
Great property. Provided lots of recommendations for sights in town and traveling to Verona.

Highly recommend! Quick walk to/from the train station, friendly and helpful staff, fantastic breakfast (including a German marble cake), and close to public transport (taxi arrives within minutes).
It was a beautifully older hotel. The area was nice a quiet. It was within walking distance of the train station. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and delicious. I loved the melons.
One of the female staff was very rude and unprofessional. When i confronted her about her behaviour and told her that it's unprofessional and i should not be treated like this, she told me to never book this hotel again. I belive she is the manager or owner. Other staff was very kind and professional. She woke me up at the middle of the night to move my car in the parking lot that her staf has told me to park before. Then she complained that my labrador was too jumpy and dangerous when my puppy only wanted to lick her. I asked her why did they advertised this hotel being pet friendly if the staff are afraid of labrador puppy. But she told me to use muzzle when i take my puppy out of my room. She even refused to lend me an umbrella when i asked for one, due to heavy rain outside. I will never set my foot in this horrible hotel again.
I also found bed bugs in our bed. me and my wifes body was itching every morning after we woke up. I lifted the matress and found lots a bed bugs.
I was about to give one more star to this hotel but at the checkout, surprise, the white lady said I haven't paid... I replied I had already done so... She said no I hadn't pay. Then she also mention the city tax... I said I paid everything already including the city tax... Then, and only at that moment, she started to check her record and she said oh you paid. Then she said people can make mistake. I said yes, but she should have checked first before she replied and insisted...
Now I remember this very same lady made me wait 10 min to get the key when I was tired getting back from outside because she was busy talking...
It's a pity these things happened. It's also pity the hotel put this kind of people at the reception. I guess she may also don't like Asian people, not too say she hate them. Other people are nice and hotel is quite good, well renovated and good breakfast.
The price is too high compared to the room, service and breakfast.
I would not come back here again. If you can choose, go to another hotel.
And don't forget, beware at the checkout if you have already paid. Keep you receipt ...
La stanza era normale, piccola ma completa di tutto con tutti gli accessori necessari. Il personale gentile, comoda la possibilità di lasciare il trolley. Anche la colazione andava benissimo. Grazie mille
Siisti ja tilava huone, hiljaista oli.
Tosi hyvä aamiainen, runsas hedelmävalikoima, kasvissyöjillekin paljon syötävää.
Erittäin ystävällinen henkilökunta, en osaa saksaa kuin auttavasti mutta he puhuivat englantia.
Rautatieasema lähellä, mutta vanhaankaupunkiinkaan ei ole pitkä kävelymatka. Rautatieasemalla Spar, jossa hyvät valikoimat.
Très beau petit hôtel avec un cachet classique. Chambre très confortable, belle salle de bain très propre. Buffet du matin avec une bonne variété de produits frais. Même des fleurs coupées du matin à la table. Emplacements à 15 minutes à pieds des centre d’intérêt. Nous recommandons !!!
