Austria: Where to Stay

 


From rough digs to palaces, as recommended by the Pilot crew.



Vienna

Top end:

Hotel Arkadenhof, Viriotgasse 5, A-1090 Vienna
Tel - 00 43 1 310 0837, Fax - 00 43 1 310 7686
Website - www.arkadenhof.com


With the friendliest staff in Vienna, the Arkadenhof has wonderfully spacious rooms. Though not situated in the very centre of the city, it only takes 10 minutes to get into town and you have the advantage of being away from all the hustle and bustle of the town centre.
Prices range from EUR137 in low season to EUR151 in peak season for a double room.

Moderate:

Pension Altstadt Vienna, Kirchengasse 41, A-1070 Vienna
Tel - 00 43 1 522 6666, Fax - 00 43 1 523 4901
Website - www.altstadt.at

Pension Alstadt has 25 rooms, all individually decorated. Prices start at EUR129 for a double room.



Salzburg

Top End:

Hotel Crowne Plaza
Rainerstrausse 6-8
5020 Salzburg Tel: 00 43 662 88 978

A stately 4 star hotel complete with a bar, and located near some good restaurants. The staff are very helpful and speak English.


Altstadthotel Wolf-Dietrich

Wolf-Dietrich-strasse 7
Tel - 00 43 662 871 275, Fax - 00 43 662 882 320
Website - www.salzburg-hotel.at

If you really want somewhere close to the centre of the city and are a lover of all things kitsch, stay at the Altstadthotel Wolf-Dietrich. This hotel has taken the Mozart madness one step further. The Magic Flute Suite speaks for itself - it's totally decorated in the theme of Mozart's opera and has remote control curtains, a free-standing bath on a raised platform (complete with fibre optic lighting) and a DVD projector! Alternatively you can try the Papageno (Parrot) Suite which comes with trees (and yes, a plastic parrot) over hanging the bathtub and a bed that has a flashing headboard. Prices start at EUR164 for either suite.


Mid Price:

Hotel Am Nussdorferhof

Moosstrasse 36
Tel - 00 43 662 824 838, Fax - 00 43 662 824 8389
Website - www.nussdorferhof.at

The Hotel am Nussdorferhof is slightly outside the town centre, but for the kind of hospitality that the Kronegger family offer, its well worth it. Free Internet, a fantastic restaurant and mini bar drinks at EUR1 each are just some good reasons to stay here. Other touches such as the personalised 'good night poems' that you'll find on your pillow at bedtime make this a uniquely charming place. Prices start at EUR98 for a double room.

Budget:

Academy of Performing Arts
Enquiries: Tel - 00 43 1 514 8448 7701

In the City of Music, what could be more apt? From the 1st July - 30th September each year, very cheap accommodation is available in the Academy of the Performing Arts whilst the students are on their summer break. You can even take advantage of one of the 25 piano rooms in the Academy.

Hallstatt

Mid Price:

Hotel Braugasthoff

Esses Strausse 120
Hallstatt Tel: 00 43 6134 8221

Any visitor to Hallstatt must stay at the Hotel Braugasthoff. A charming 500- year old house, it is in remarkable shape and its 12 bedrooms overlook the lake.

The Tux Valley

Top End:

Hotel Tuxerhoff

Vorderlanersbach 80
A-6293
Tux Tel: 00 43 5287 8511

This is really a gorgeous hotel and definitely in the 4-5 star range - are as all the other hotels in the area. Run by a friendly couple who lives on the premises, it has everything you could want - a delicious restaurant, fantastic inclusive breakfast, and a sauna room. Try going to the salon for a massage followed by a hay bath - which is just what it sounds like!
