Hotel Schöne Aussicht

Everything you want for a comfortable stay! Hot, powerful showers, very comfortable bed, amazing breakfast buffet (they keep refilling everything when it’s only half empty) polite, and friendly staff, very clean! Not far from the town. We had a rental car to stay one week in Salzburg and used this as our homebase …basically just had breakfast and slept so we didn’t see around the rest of the yard but it looks amazing for families.

The view is breathtakingly beautiful. The hotel, room and restaurant are spotlessly clean, staff are friendly, polite and hard working. The hotel oozes the atmosphere of a traditional Austrian style and history, far away from the generic and often impersonal boutique hotel vibe. We originally booked for one night and stayed for another one. Suggestion to be more aware of the wasps on the terrace area and some alternative choice for food sensitive people would be important for guests who can't eat the the usual (meat, bread, cheese, pasta style) food for breakfast and menu. Generally, we very much liked our stay and we hope that one day we can return.

I was expecting a room with the city view as described and got a small room up in the roof with a sad small window. No balcony as advised. I asked the reception and told me there I would need to pay for an upgrade but there are no rooms available. The room was small, not even room enough to open my luggage, with dated furniture. The room was at the back, above the kitchen, the smell of friend food really bothered me early in the morning. Asked for a double bed and got 2 tweens aside, really? this is so pathetic; you can't use the whole width as you fall in between beds. Paying for two but still using one. The hotel is overpriced considering the location and quality of hotel and services. It is far up from the city, long way up on a one lane street with many curves, very dangerous. I had to back up twice to make way for the incoming traffic. I assume in the winter is much worse. The restaurant is ok but food is not exceptionally good. Common for an average hotel and again overpriced. 20 euros for a schnitzel. 10 euros for a spit. The waitress was polite, respectful but not friendly. The helper, anon-local boy didn't find his way around, he was bouncing in between cleaning tables and carrying luggage upstairs, no there is no elevator. One night the restaurant was closed, for some reason, which was actually a good thing, I went down in the town to eat, cheaper, better. Coming up later I barely found a parking spot. there is free parking but limited, there are other people that live around parking in their lot. The conclusion, no, it didn't cut it for me. Too far away for no good. Not worse the drive up there.
