Pension Ballwein

We loved our stay at the Pension Ballwein and want to return again. Simon and Daniela were fantastic hosts and we really enjoyed their friendly hospitality. The location is just outside the bustle of the city and we greatly appreciated the tranquility and the views! It takes about 20 minutes to get here from the Altstadt using the 21 bus. Super easy and convenient. It was close enough that we chose to take a small hike past beautiful lakes and canals and walk all the way up to the Hohensalzburg. Truly lovely. The rooms have a rustic feel, but are wonderfully apportioned. The bathroom was large and very clean with great towels. The breakfast was plentiful and the family service made it very pleasant. A great way to enjoy Salzburg without needing to stay in the crowded city.

I stayed for 2 nights in one of the apartments, which was lovely, I was travelling alone and felt very safe. The apartment is spacious with everything you need and everything is of a high standard, very random but I loved the doors in the apartment. I loved the location too, there is a small Spar supermarket on the same road and to explore Salzburg there is a bus stop outside but Daniela told me a way to walk across the fields into Salzburg which was such a lovely route so I did that route each time. I would definitely stay again.

We stayed a week here in one of the self-catering units and we would highly recommend it. On an 18 night touring holiday we needed somewhere with laundry facilities and Pension Ballwein was an ideal location for us to explore Salzburg and the surrounding area as well as giving us the chance to do the required laundry. Check-in was very friendly; Danielle was very helpful and was able to sell us the Salzburg Card that we intended to use to explore the city, as well as pointing us in the direction of the greengrocer/butcher/baker/delicatessen across the road and the supermarket a few minutes drive along the street. There is a bus stop directly outside Pension Ballwein and our pass allowed us to pick up the bus into the city rather than driving. The accommodation was well equipped and although it didn't have air-conditioning, there was a floor fan which we moved between the rooms and it cooled the apartment sufficiently in a heatwave. The laundry facilities are in a communal area (there's a charge of 5 Euros per wash) as is the drying rack but that wasn't a problem for us. The accommodation is close to the airport but we were rarely aware of planes arriving and departing and even then it wasn't intrusive. I would highly recommend Pension Ballwein.

Our family enjoyed a lovely stay at Pension Ballwein Apartments. Simon and Danielle are wonderful hosts who look after all our needs. From the scrumptious breakfast each morning to the excellent tourist advice we had a very enjoyable stay. Rooms are very well appointed tidy and very clean. Bus stop is right at the door for a quick 20 minute trip to the centre of Salzburg - highly recommended

Our start to our shirt break didn't go well as the airline didn't delivery our baggage from Frankfurt! Then when we got to the hotel, we weren't expected as our agent hadn't confirmed! Then Simon and Daniela kicked in (our hosts). They sorted the accommodation out for us which meant we could stay the four nights as planned opposed to just one which they stated they could only provide. The next day, our bag was available at Salzburg airport and Daniela very kindly went and got for us, at no charge!!! Wonderful. As for the accommodation, first class. The room, bed and bathroom were spotlessly clean with views which take your breath away. The breakfast was substantial and delicious. Simply faultless!! Simon and Daniela (and their two adorable little girls) were so helpful in every aspect of our stay. Would we go again? Absolutely!!! Can't recommend this enough! Also, there's a bus stop right outside the property with buses running into Salzburg and back every 20 minutes, 3 euros each one way, bargain! We really and thoroughly enjoyed our stay and although it didn't get off to the best start, overall, it was simply perfect!!! Thank you again Simon and Daniela!

We just spent 5 nights at Pension Ballwein, and it was a highlight of our stay! The owners are SO nice - their Engish is nearly perfect and they are extremely helpful. The first morning our son asked for apple juice, and they didn't have any. The following morning, he had a carafe of apple juice at his seat! The coffee is delicious and the cream is fresh. The location is great. It's not in the middle of town, and it's a good 15-20 minutes from the center of town, but that is our preference when traveling. The bus stop is right in front of the hotel, providing easy access to town. The first night, we drove in, and it was very confusing and stressful. From that point on, we just hopped on the bus. If we ever find ourselves in Salzburg again (which I hope we do!), we won't hesitate to book here again!

family run property and look after the details

Een heerlijk pension met heel vriendelijk gastheer en gastvrouw. Een echt gezin met passie en trots en dat voel je. De kamer was brandschoon. Overal horren, een airco en een heerlijk balkon. Fijne busverbinding naar het centrum voor de deur. Heerlijk ontbijt. Een aanrader

Abbiamo pernottato una notte in questa bellissima struttura. Le camere sono accoglienti, dotate di tutti i comfort e molto molto pulite (una delle sistemazioni più pulite che ho mai trovato nei miei viaggi!). I padroni di casa sono gentilissimi e pronti a dare informazioni su come raggiungere il centro città e le principali attrazioni turistiche. La colazione è top, molto variegata e curata. Pur non essendo in centro città, ha una comodissima fermata dell'autobus proprio davanti alla struttura, che senza cambiare permette di arrivare in centro città in 10 minuti. Consiglio di utilizzare l'autobus e lasciare l'auto nel parcheggio (gratuito) della struttura.
