Hotel Markus Sittikus

Points positifs : Markus Sittikus is a very cozy, charming and friendly hotel near the Mirabell Garden in Salzburg. Nice boutique rooms, good value for the price. It was a bit of an inconvenience to not have a desk attendant at night, as I arrived after 10pm. I was redirected to the front desk at a sister hotel a few blocks away. Beyond that, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Very friendly and helpful staff

Points positifs : My wife and I had never been to Salzburg but chose Hotel Markus Sittikus based on its location and price. Overall we were very pleased with our choice. The price was one of the most reasonable we were able to find in central Salzburg, and we felt the combination of price and location was just right for us. The hotel is about a 15 minute walk from the Salzburg Altstadt (old town) but it is a very easy route along a main road to get there. We had tons of questions when we first arrived and the front desk staff was extremely helpful and polite. The hotel is a representative for Panorama Tours (the main provider in town), and they will book the tours and make arrangements for you, which was also very convenient. The breakfast service provided by the hotel is somewhat pricey but is one of the best european-style continental breakfasts I have ever had, with a great selection of fresh breads, cold cuts, cheeses, vegetables, and delicious spreads. Great fresh-ground coffee tops it off. Finally, due to the Syrian refugee crisis there were no trains leaving from the Salzburg Hbf for Germany, so the hotel staff arranged a taxi to take us across the border to Freilassing, Germany where we caught a train to Munich. They even negotiated a fixed price for us so we would not get overcharged due to the heavy traffic at the border. Overall we were very pleased with this hotel and would definitely stay there again.

Points négatifs : The only downside to the hotel is that the interior and rooms seem to be a little bit dated. The lobby, sitting room, and other communal areas were comfortable but could really use some updates. The bedroom was also comfortable but felt like it hadn't been updated since the '90's.

Great place to stay!

Points positifs : Clean, staff very helpful, 10 min to walk to everything, breakfast really really good.

Points négatifs : Parking was a down side but hotel has an agreement with a parking garage down the street to park at a discount.

Points positifs : very clean and efficient, close to main train station, friendly and helpful staff
