Really great hotel, had an amazing stay in Salzburg. All facilities were available and extremely clean. The room and views were beautiful. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was great, as well as the lunch and dinner menus. I would stay here again!
The most beautiful hotel I have ever visited!! The staff were so welcoming and always happy to help - and they provide you with a free bus pass for your stay and access to the bikes the hotel owns to use for exploring around! 10/10, would 100% return!!

Hotel Gerl far surpassed my expectations and my family’s. The staff, food, amenities, rooms and food was all perfect! My kids are asking when we are coming back and I know it’s going to be soon thanks to how great they treated us.
Beautiful property, relaxing atmosphere, great massages and food, staff friendly and accommodating, would definitely recommend if staying in this area.
The bed was very comfortable. I enjoyed the indoor pool and sauna very much. The breakfast was wonderful! Im coming back to enjoy this hotel again, no question.

The location, room and breakfast were all perfect.
Standout here though is the incredible staff.
Could not do enough for us. Every person is made to feel special and valued
This is one of the most lovely relaxing spa hotels. It is not very large but there are beautiful mountain views, nice restaurant and bar, comfortable rooms and nice pool, sauna and relaxation areas. Loved it and will stay again.
Staff was friendly, rooms were nice and clean. Great breakfast and the amenities were a nice perk. We found some cute restaurants around the area and you can't beat the view. Our only complaint was the bathroom sink was kind of annoying as it seemed more for appearance than function (there was little room for the water to actually go).

Really lovely hotel with great facilities and friendly staff. We ate in restaurant one night and that was very good. Indoor and outdoor pool were brilliant for our kids. Rooms were comfortable with everything you could need. Breakfast had an excellent selection of food.
Gerl Hotel is a place not only to sleep while travelling but to spend time in the hotel as well. It has a great resturant and the breakfast was very tasty with a wide variety of dishes.
Shame the main spa (which is spectacular) opens only at 11:00 and closes at 20:00.
A lovely property with nice rooms, various spa services, easy parking, minutes from central Salzburg and with great views of surrounding mountains.
The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast bufet was varied and well stocked. Our overall experience was very comfortable and as we expected.
Our family were warmly welcomed by staff who could not do more for us. The property is lovely and nicely located for trips to Salzburg. Will definitely return!
Lovely modern hotel, with a very friendly and helpful team.
Really nice pool/spa areas and a choice of pools for adults! One minor gripe the sauna on ground floor not really/hot working on either day.
Had dinner in the restaurant also which was great, as was breakfast.
Will stay again if we get the opportunity.
Thanks.
Very beautiful hotel, with an amazing restaurant and great atmosphere.
On the weekends there is a DJ playing by the pool, which can lead to some noise. Also the hotel is right next to a street, so there is some noise coming from the cars driving by.
All in all it is still a great hotel and I would definitely recommend a stay.

From entering into the reception the staff makes you feel welcome and appreciated. All staff members greet you when passing them in the lobby, corridor, or elsewhere. My room was big, and had direct access to the terrace; and the upkeep and cleanliness was perfect. The pool and spa area is an attraction in itself; and it has as well an indoor as an outdoor pool. The gym is well-equipped also, and the atmosphere is nice. This is definitely my go-to place when I am visiting customers in the Salzburg area. It would be nice if the gym would open a little earlier - 8am is too late. But fortunately the weather was ok for running - there is a nice trail along the Saalach river.
A great stay. Lovely spacious room and food delicious. However chewing gum stuck to top of bed and a used robe in the room. Asked hotel staff twice about buses before a third time when I was offered a free guest pass for use on buses. This should be automatically given on arrival.
Hotels.com did not allow booking of a child and I did not realise they count children as adults so faced another 90 Euro per night charge.
A modern and beautifully decorated hotel. Our room was comfortable and quiet. The restaurant provided a large range of options for breakfast and we enjoyed two dinners there as well. The dinner menu was competitively priced and the meal portions were substantial. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The hotel is on the outskirts of the city centre which was our preference as we were visiting areas away from the city. We think this added to the quiet atmosphere. Overall we had a pleasant stay.
Adequate words fail me to describe my delightful experience at the Gerl. By far, the best hotel experience I’ve ever had in Salzburg.
I selected the two-room suite for our family; and the king-bed rooms were spacious.
Don’t shy away from dining at the Gerl. The breakfast spread was delectable . This world traveler found their Thai Red Curry the best ever. Yes, you read that correctly. The best ever red curry in Salzburg, Austria.
There is a laundry room an available for guests.
The Gerl will be my home away from home on my next visit to Salzburg.
Review based on 300e nightly rate.
-for such a spa hotel did not have free flip flops ready in my room, needed to go to lobby to buy them.
-Was not able to bring a beer to spa area as they close the spa area bars for winter period, this would be different during the summer I guess. Also other Sauna was closed.
-Good was that it was very quiet during the winter period and probably would have felt the place too busy during summer.
-They don't have jacuzzi or anything like that, regular pools. It is a nice hotel and the restaurant they have is good.
