A very nice hotel with all of the features of a much more expensive facility. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. I have been to Salzburg many times, but this was the first time in this area of the city. This is a quiet residential neighborhood with easy access to the Hauptbahnhof and all of the sites and sights…The hotel restaurant is very classy, with excellent food and a wide variety of starters, entrees, and desserts. Although quite young, the staff are very charming, attractive, and professional…

Mercure Salzburg City is a great hotel and I would stay again.

The staff are super friendly, the hotel is well located (only 12 - 15 mins leisurely walk from the Makartsteg Bridge that crosses the Salzach), the rooms are spacious and clean, and the beds comfortable.

The only disappointment was that the complementary bottles of water (2) in the fridge are not replaced each morning.
So regardless of a single or multiple night stay, you get the two bottles.
That doesn't make sense. If I book one night, I get the same as someone staying longer?

Mercure management team: if you are going to provide water (which I really appreciated), then please make it consistent and fair.
If I had known, I'd have bought water on my way back to the hotel on the second night. Buying your water at reception costs more than 3x the price in Spar!

The Mercure hotel in Salzburg was a great value choice for staying in a location that was convenient to get into the city centre and explore the Christmas markets and city attractions. Just about 10 minutes walk from the main train station and with a bus stop only 2 minutes away, you can get around the city and local area with ease. Much of Salzburg is easily walkable. The hotel is in a quiet residential area, the rooms are modern and comfortable and there are dining options on site, but these were expensive so we used the many cafes and restaurants in the city.

Mercure in Salzburg is in a quiet neighborhood not far from the central station. Double bed was firm but comfy. Bathroom was fine with large enough shower although i don't know why there was a towel bar in front of the sink. Breakfast buffet ay 24 euros was a little high although selection was good. I'd definitely stay there again if i return to Salzburg.

A comfortable and lovely hotel

I really loved this hotel.

Away from the tourist areas (but only 15 - 20 minutes walk) this hotel is perfect for those who want a bit of a quieter stay and don’t want to pay the high prices of staying in the older part of town.

The hotel was immaculate. The rooms were lovely and spacious with great walk in showers which were very powerful.

The staff were all really helpful and their use of English was great for us non-German speakers.

The only slight downside was the cost of breakfast. 17 euros pp/pn I thought was slightly excessive. Whilst It did look good with lots of choice, you could easily pop to a coffee shop and the supermarket for a light breakfast and still have change left over.

I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others as well.

Great hotel about ten minutes walk from the station. Staff are friendly and the hotel is really clean. The only gripe I would have is that the hotel restaurant food is shockingly awful we only went there one night and wondered why there was so few people there when the food arrived all became clear!!! So avoid that part of the hotel the rest is amazing! We shall be back very soon Salzburg is an amazing city to visit make sure you visit the cable car just out side the city and also the castle.

Good location, only a 10minute walk from town and in a nice quiet spot. Hotel a bit dated but clean. If I was being picky the only things that brought the ratings down were that we had single beds rather than a double and the lighting is quite low. Having a bath was a great bonus after a couple of days of heavy duty walking.

Check in was alright after a not so pleasant first approach at the checkin desk and about a one hour wait. The second colleague then kindly arranged for a checkin just before 14:00 which allowed me to arrived at the 15:00 performance at the Salzburg Festival refreshed after all. The first colleague, maybe overworked or unhappy with his job, was neither friendly nor helpful - not a good first impression of a hotel.

Wouldn’t choose this place again

The standard rooms are very tired and in need of completely updating. Our room had stained carpets, holes in the curtains and the shower head wouldn’t stay in place making showering difficult unless you’re very short!
The staff weren’t to helpful we were sent up to our room only to find it wasn’t ready and asked to wait downstairs when we asked at reception a few minutes later we were told our room had been ready all the time. I tried to explain we had been sent back as it wasn’t ready they either didn’t understand or didn’t care!
When we started settling into the room a man (member of staff) came bursting into our room, with no knocking!, said sorry and then looked in the fridge that was empty and said that’s fine and left.
Not very satisfactory on the positive the air conditioning worked well!

Shabbiest Mercure I ever saw

Room was a disappointment. It was very old, like a step back in time which needs renovation ASAP. Curtains were horrible. Pillows were a disaster. Toilet flush was a hit and miss. Shower water temperature takes time to heat up. When I think of Mercure from my experience in the past, it was hip and modern. This was NOT. The only saving grace was it has coffee/tea facility in the room. And location was 10-15mins walk to Old Town.

Nice and quiet, other than the delivery lorry at 5am but thankfully he wasn’t there too long!
Lovely staff and lovely food at the restaurant. However, breakfast was a nightmare due to only one hot drinks machine and there only being 2 staff on!! Absolutely ridiculous. Those 2 staff could not have worked harder and I can’t fault them at all, I just felt sorry for them because they were overwhelmed by numbers. There should have been another 4 on!!! There was a queue 10 people deep the whole time waiting for a hot drink and it took 20 mins to get to the front of the queue!! Please get another drinks machine and one that is preferably a lot quicker at working!!!!
Otherwise it’s a very nice place to stay.

On our 10 day trip around Switzerland, Austria and Germany this was my least favourite hotel. It is very dated in decor and overall condition. The climate control did not function. There was a house fly issue in the room that I tried to remedy with a magazine as a fly swatter but then realized many got caught in the popcorn ceiling spider webs. In such a large center with other options, I would not stay here again or recommend it. However, the breakfast was really good.
