There has been a lodging on this site since the mid 15th Century , The current embodiment is a grand old lady of gracious, refined comfort updated to current standards and beyond. The breakfast is massive and included with Servers who remember your needs even after one day. The rooms are large, comfortable with excellent bathrooms and a balcony for each room. There is even a smoking floor. A daily newspaper is published in several languages (just like on a ship but even more inclusive) and there are "events and day trips" if one chooses. The bed pillows were real down feather but too soft for me...parking is 6 euros daily ...The location is right downtown (or should I say 'downvillage) in the middle of a pedestrian mall (but its ok to drive you car right up to the front of the hotel !) The buildings are surrounded by a magnificant woods with developed flower beds and walkways. A true wonderland. Finally the price was quite reasonable (119 per night with breakfast and free internet). Salzburg, Austria is 20 mins away by train which leaves every hour .

we didn't have a reservation and needed two rooms. our travel book listed this hotel. we did have some trouble finding the place and the parking wasn't super convenient. we enjoyed the spacious rooms and the breakfast. The location is right next to the shops and a few good restaurants. we stayed three nights and went to Bertchesgaden and Salzburg during the day. It was perfect for us and we would definitely stay again if ever back in that area.

We stayed for two nights with our almost five year old daughter in the newly overtaken hotel Radisson Blu Axelmannstein. It was indeed a bit difficult to find entry from the parking place, but once inside, it seemed like some of those former five-star houses that need to be revamped. The receptionist was not very helpful but we found our room easily. All in all, it did not look like a 5 star, more like a 3 star but very clean, although there was only little room left as the additional third bed was squeezed into the room at our king bed's end.... Luckily, the bathroom had been refurbished with two sinks and - luckily - we had a window too.
On the first evening, we ended up in the hotel's restaurant since there is almost nothing else within walking distance - end were surprised by the very good food and service which we can totally recommend! The other night we trayed the Axelstüberl which serves original Bavarian food. The service was a bit lousy as we had to wait more than 30 minutes for the main dish (which is extremely stressful when you have dinner with a little child!) but the quality of the food was excellent. Since the breakfast seemed to pricey for us, we never had one in the hotel so cannot judge.
However, despite the restaurants, we used the spacious swimmingpool and sauna one afternoon and also found a children's playroom which offered various things from air hockey, monkey bars as well as a large TV with a Wii connected (which did not work however) as well as a computer with PC games.
All in all, a clean and nice hotel which is in on the verge of becoming a 5 star hotel again once new manager has settled in ;-)

Arrived at hotel on Thursday 9 July for a two night stay. Initially disappointed - no obvious sign at car park so little hard to find entrance and looked a little run down from outside.

Check-in was quick - given corner room on 1st floor (standard) overlooking pedestrian zone and fountain. Large and clean but decor a little dated (and alth' not bad it wasn't not up to usual Radisson standard in my opinion) - bathroom was spotless and looked as if it had been refurbed recently. Poor TV choice for non-German speakers and no tea/coffee facilities (although a bottle of water and some fruit was in the room on arrival).

Location though is perfect - well sited in centre town (and also within its own park area) - easy walk to shops and some cafes/restaurants. The town itself (as is the hotel) is probably more geared for an older clientele.

Hotel also has a small gym, pleasant pool area overlooking the park/gardens and a spa. Very pleasant Bavarian style restaurant also attached to hotel - where the food was reasonably priced and tasty.

All in all my initial disappointment did change. The hotel was quiet, clean and comfortable and proved to be an ideal base for a couple of days in a very scenic location.
