“Misleading room photos”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2006

people found this review helpful

Well, based on the good reviews I`ve seen here and in some other places, I`ve gone to this "hotel" Plainbrucke in Austria. I have booked a single room for the price of 70 EUR / night for 7 nights and faxed my credit card as a deposit. But when I arrived .. surprise. The room looked like it does in the sketch I`ve made. And I can guarantee you there is NO exageration. It looked like a trailer house ! No more than 8 sqm, bathroom included ! And two people could not have passed each other in the room near the bed, as it was not wide enough. Really depressing ! They also had larger rooms for 90EUR, and I said ok, I will take one of those, but then they said that they are fully booked starting two days from then (it was the new year`s eve), and I could only stay 2 days in the large room and then I should return to the small one for the rest of my stay. Me and my girlfriend left the luggage there and went to look for another hotel, which we found in about 1 hour and came back and said that we will be leaving because we cannot stay 5 nights in a room like that. But .. surprise. The old nice lady which owns the house turned into an old not nice lady, which told me that according to the austrian hotel contract ( which I have not signed ! ) I must pay 50% of the accommodation fees which would mean 245 EUR. Of course I said that I will not pay anything because I only left the luggage in their room for 1 hour and also I have been cheated by the misleading advertising on their website, which showed nice, large rooms with new furniture and fresh look, and with SPACE ! Their room was claustrophobic. So in just 30 second the old nice lady was calling the POLICE !!! What for ? She was trying to rip me of ... 245 EUR for their trailer house room where I have not stayed one minute. My luck ( if it can be called this way after all that happened ) was that one of the police officers that came in about 5 minutes was a nice young lady which spoke good english and which unerstood the situation and convinced the owner lady to drop their pretentions to 100 EURO which I had to pay (and I have the receipt for it to be prooved in case somebody from the reviews department wants to see it). So thanks to plainbrucke hotel I got ripped of 100 EURO of my vacation money. Not very nice of them. I am writing this review and I strongly think it should be left here, because if I had seen this type of problem happened to someone else either I would have chosen another hotel, or I would have been more carefull when booking and sent them notice that if I did not like the room I will leave the hotel immediately. Choose carefully when booking a hotel in Austria! Best regards . Florin

“Very nice and reasonably-priced”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2005

After looking around the net for a reasonably-priced Salzburg hotel, I realised that it would be difficult to find one during festival time in the centre of town.

I instead found this gem which is a 15-minute bus ride from the centre, but don't worry as there is a bus stop just across the road and the buses come every ten minutes during normal day hours. I also recommend a Salzburg Card for free public transport.

Our room was very clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was really nice. There were no issues with getting hot water.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We forgot to bring a British to Austrian travel adaptor and the staff did their best to help. In the end we bought one of our own in Werfen (a VERY beautiful little town with stupendous scenery).

The breakfast buffet is very nice with a wide selection of foods to choose from.

If you fancy a quiet night in, then the Italian Restaurant adjoining the hotel is nice. My fianceé's pizza was one of the best she had ever had (I do not like Pizza but they do a nice Rump Steak and other things).

Ten seconds' walk from the hotel is a nice little place which does delicious ice cream in many flavours.

I would certainly stay in this little hotel again. :-) My only minor criticism is that traffic noise can a be a little loud if you have your windows open. The sound insulation with them closed is very good.

“Wonderful Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2004

people found this review helpful

This is family run guesthouse in the northern part of the city. Frau Schweigart and her adult daughters(proprietors) were extremely helpful, friendly and accomodating. The location is very convenient to the Salzach River which runs to downtown Salzburg. There are wonderful hiking/biking paths which are located on both banks of the river and provide an easy, scenic hike into Old Town Salzburg. The hike is approximately 30 minutes and walking home alone after midnight there were no safety concerns as you would find in many U.S. cities. If you don't care to hike/bike into the city a bus stop is located very close to the guest house.
The guest accomodations are very modern and the breakfasts were delicous and very ample with a wonderful variety.
If you are looking for a reasonably priced, modern guest house convenient to the city I highly recommend the Hotel Gasthof Plainbrucke.
