Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 20 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Hotel & Villa Auersperg is for travellers who want a stylish, calm base within walking distance of everything. Run by the same family for three generations, it occupies two buildings on a quiet street near Mirabell Gardens, with the old town and the station a short walk away. Guests are won over by the interior design, the city garden with its terrace and the Petit City Spa with sauna and steam bath. Breakfast, largely organic and homemade, is a highlight, and the staff are praised for service that is warm without being intrusive. The weaker points are space and evenings. Some rooms are small, and the bar and dinner do not quite match the rest of the stay, with a limited bar menu and occasional slow service in the afternoon and evening. Parking is available but tight and charged extra. Couples and city-breakers who value design, a garden and a great breakfast will feel at home; those who want large rooms or a dining destination should look elsewhere.
Guests score it 9.3 out of 10 — the average across the 11 hotels we list in Salzburg is 9.3.
- Guests like that the hotel is tucked away on a side street, which makes for good sleep, while Mirabell Gardens, the train station and the old town are all within walking distance.
- The city garden is a favourite, and guests enjoy an afternoon drink or a cocktail there after a day of sightseeing. In good weather breakfast is served on the garden terrace.
- Some guests found their room a little small, if stylish, and one wished they had booked a larger category.
- One guest found dinner average and the staff a little tired, another thought the bar menu could be more varied, and some felt the garden and bar needed more staff in the afternoon. One couple waited a long time to be served at the bar.
