It was a lovely hotel with a rustic feel, the manager and staff were friendly, and the old exterior, contents and exhibits were appealing. The wine was delicious.
Old vintage charm. A very old well built home. Johannes welcomed us warmly. Comfortable beds, simple yet yummy breakfast. Lots of catholic pictures and images. Easy walk to restaurants and the buses.

The breakfast was hard to like. Rotting fruit and stale breads. The staff eventually brought eggs, boiled in the shell and placed in a basket. It advertised that there is a restaurant on site, but i was told there is no restaurant, just the breakfast.
Staff member unlocked my door and walked into my room without announcing themselves while I lay in bed reading on the first night. Not sure what he needed, but he immediately left and re-locked the door. Didnt make me feel very comfortable.
People could be heard yelling at their children who were running and stomping around until late hours. Might have been the staff, not sure. Had to walk around and over their toys in the courtyard.
Very charming and old building, beautiful, but noisy. Wanted to keep my window open, but people would sit in the patio just outside and smoke, making the smell come into my room.
Walking distance to a bus stop, but not much else around there. I really wanted to like it here, and the staff were friendly enough, not sure I would recommend.

Great location. Beautiful old house with unique decor. Lovely staff. Would definitely stay here again.
Wonderful big old quirky room in a 400 year old hotel. Good old fashioned Austrian breakfast. The stay at Haus Wartenberg was a highlight of our stay in Salzburg.
Super “charming” and quaint. Not for everyone. My family were not impressed. However, I grew up poor so Haus Wartenburg was like a palace to me. There’s so much potential here. If I had a few million euros…..
Absolutely the worst location we stayed during our entire trip. We did not get the room or facility as was shown in the photos and we ended up in the "attic" like area with a skylight and such low ceilings that all of us bumped our heads. It was a miserable experience and I would not recommend it to me worst enemy.
This property is a pension and styled in a very traditional Austrian way. The building is beautiful, it needs some TLC.

It's a neat old building, it's not "quiet" but attracts a quiet crowd. Bit religious lol but that didn't bother me. A chapel on site. Small restaurant . Id stay there again

Room was very hot and only one window had a blind so it was difficult to sleep and the “shower” was in a very awkward place in a bathtub in the corner with the sloped roof making it hard to enter and exit without slipping or bumping ones head
It was difficult to reach someone in charge. The room was not clean, there was a thick layer of old dust under the beds. No smoke alarm in the room. No hot water the first night.
Great Providence to have found this gem of authentic Salzbürger hospitality. Certainly not the usual MacDonalds/Cola/Nobu/FourSeason spit shine polish 'chain'. Was so relaxed here. Felt really welcomed into the environment. Cannot more highly recommend. Very comfortable and clean bedlinen, eco friendly, helpful and kind. Really enjoyed being here.

A Strange place. My impression was that the management could not keep up with the pressure of the local tourism industry. The hotel is in a - well - odd shape. If you stay for a night or two fine, I would not recommend a longer stay with your family.
The place with history and good vibe. You are comming to the building, where people were living for several hundred of years, that makes you feel enchanted. All details counts the ages, besides you sleep in very comfortable beds with white beddings. For all our family the atmosphere was magnificant and unforgetable. People running this place are very attentive and friendly. Location is 10min by food from the main Salczburg places of interest.
This place is worth to visit, who wants to feel the spirit of Mozart era, sure not Ikea era 🙂.
Absolutely no care for this 400 year old home. I stayed here 23 years ago and it has just gone downhill. Stains on the bed, super dusty, chipped paint, old mixed matched furniture, restaurant closed on Saturday night, and never met any staff! Just a key let at reception for me. Not even a place to get water or snacks. Everything was closed around the area after 3 PM on Saturday. I booked for three days and left after four hours because it was so terrible. I love Salzburg but wish I would’ve stayed somewhere better.
Really disappointed in this property. Was very expensive for what was offered. It was unusual to find someone at the front desk. Did not have maid service. Bathroom had a lot of mold on the ceiling and in the shower. No screens on the windows and no air conditioning. Expedia needs to do a better job reviewing properties it offers! This property was a dump!
Really old fashioned and out of date. Room numbers written on walls with old markers. Dusty nicknacks everywhere. Bathroom was dangerous, leaky, and had spots of mold. We went during a heat wave and suffered badly with very little ventilation. We asked for a second fan (they dusted off a small one and did give it to us) but that didn't help. My poor dog could hardly sleep (and neither could I or my mom). On the plus side, the location is a nice walk into the old part of town.
