Salzburger Sonnenterrasse, Salzburg State hotel rooms at the Independent

"A stunning hotel, modern, well appointed rooms. Very clean and the restaurant dining was superb. The staff are the stand out, so, so helpful. Complimentary overnight parking in secure underground car park. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying here. It’sa must. "

"Two night stay whilst hiking in the area. Convenient underground parking, spotlessly clean room, excellent facilities, friendly staff, refreshing approach to recycling. Only negative being classic Northern European hotel air-conditioning that won’t go below 16 degrees or act as a fan. When the weather is 23 degrees outside with no wind, guests need air conditioning."

"The hotel was amazing. Great property, friendly staff, perfect central location to get to variety of activities and day trips. "

"This property was beautiful and comfortable."

"We loved staying at the Grand Hotel. The staff were gracious, professional, yet friendly. Food in the dining room was excellent. We particularly enjoyed all the choices for breakfast. Our room looked onto the lake. Spectacular view. "

"This is a lonely, fairly small hotel. We stayed in the Panorama Suite which was really spacious, impressive and comfortable with great views. This is a great hotel to be near the zell am see slope, walking distance to rental shops and the slope. The breakfast was nice, although the restaurant is quite small and it does get very busy with everyone wanting to hit the slopes in the morning. There is space at the hotel to store ski equipment, although it is limited and if you stay or later you're not guaranteed space. We were a little disappointed but the facilities, we thought there would be more spa like facilities but it is just a sauna in the basement which we didn't fancy going in. In the local area there isn't too much going on - we found the dining options limited from a vegetarian/vegan perspective, and a lot of activities that were recommended were not open until summer (i.e boat trips on the lake). We would rather have stayed in Kaprun on reflection. However it was still a good stay, and it's also conveniently located for bus stops to take you to the other slopes. Would recommend for a short stay. "

"Great place,awesome breakfast "

"My family and I stayed here for one night. The room was very very spacious and had a newly renovated vibe. Beds were comfy. The room had a good table and a steam sauna. We couldn’t get the sauna to get super hot but it has potential to be great! Staff was nice too. Breakfast was €6 and I am not sure it was worth €6. It was so so in quality. Overall happy with our stay. "

"We had a beautiful long weekend, exceptional staff and massage, and enjoyed the location of the hotel with direct access to the panoramic walking/hiking paths - to town & the waterfall or Bad Hofgastein. Can absolutely recommend!"
