Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 20 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Hotel Goldgasse is for travellers who want a small, personal hotel right in the old town. The 14th-century house stands on a car-free lane in the Altstadt, a few minutes from the cathedral and Getreidegasse, and guests rave about stepping straight out into the historic streets. What sets it apart is the welcome: hosts who explain everything on arrival, offer a glass of champagne and make guests feel like family. The rooms are playful and comfortable, breakfast comes with eggs cooked to order, and the restaurant downstairs is a favourite for dinner and people-watching. The trade-offs are minor. Prices are on the high side, some rooms have small quirks such as a noisy air conditioner, and with no parking outside the door, arriving by car takes some planning. There is no spa or gym. Couples who value character and warm hospitality over facilities will feel right at home; those who need wellness or a car park on site should look further afield.
Guests score it 9.6 out of 10 — the average across the 11 hotels we list in Salzburg is 9.3.
- Guests praise the location above all: you step out of the door into the old town, with the cathedral, Getreidegasse and the fortress path all within a short walk.
- The hosts and staff are what guests remember. They describe being shown to their room and having everything explained, a glass of champagne on arrival, flexibility over an early arrival and the feeling of coming home to family.
- One guest found the price very high for the stay, so it is worth comparing room categories carefully.
- One guest found the room small though well designed, and another mentions an air conditioner that made a strange noise and a bedside table taken up by a large lamp.
