Made up of two separate buildings, the three-pearl Hotel Wolf-Dietrich provides a classically romantic atmosphere and a central location in Salzburg. Its best feature is its indoor pool and
sauna. Though small, they're attractive and elegant. The free breakfast and free
afternoon pick-me-up of coffee/tea and cake adds to the hotel's appeal. From themed rooms, to family suites, to dormitory-style rooms, the 40 guest rooms strive to be grand and romantic, but not all rooms hit the mark, though they do come with flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and stocked minibars. Note that some rooms lack AC, and all lack toiletries. Travelers looking for more contemporary accommodations could try the nearby NH Salzburg City.

Scene
A hotel with a classic, romantic theme that caters to couples and families
Hotel Wolf-Dietrich is a historic hotel with romantic charm catering mostly to couples looking for an intimate stay in
Salzburg. It's split into two buildings, the Residenz and the Altstadthotel,
which are located opposite of each other and aren't connected. The reception is
located in the Altstadthotel building and includes a small area with antique
wooden furniture and a faded Oriental rug leading up to the front desk. The
interior decor of the hotel aims for romantic and classical elegance with
antique furniture, maroon hallway carpets with floral designs, random colored (turquoise
or yellow) walls, and colorful plush armchairs, but some items could use an update. The breakfast room, also in the Altstadthotel building, has
a large, airy atmosphere with white tables, red and green chairs, large
antique rugs, and a skirted buffet table. There's also a sunny outdoor patio with brown woven seats and wooden tables surrounded by greenery. The Residenz building only
houses guest rooms, so travelers staying there will need to cross over to the other building to use amenities.
Location
Centrally located and within walking distance to Salzburg attractions
Hotel Wolf-Dietrich is centrally located in Salzburg,
right next to Kapuzinerberg Mountain, with the city's oldest fortifications, and most of Salzburg’s
attractions are in easy walking distance. The Mirabell Palace and its gardens is an
eight-minute walk from the hotel. Mozart’s home, Mozart’s Geburtshaus, takes 10
minutes to reach on foot, and Mozart's final resting place, St. Sebastian’s Cemetery, is right next door. For shoppers, the historic shopping
street of Getriedegasse is a 12-minute walk away, located in the Old Town
(Altstadt) district. A variety of restaurants and bars are in the surrounding streets and can be reached within two to five minutes on foot. However, Salzburg Airport requires an 18-minute
drive to reach.
Rooms
Standard rooms, family suites, and themed "Lover Suites"; all with a flat-screen TV, DVD player, and minibar
Hotel Wolf-Dietrich offers a variety of room types: Single Rooms look like a small dormitory. Double Rooms and Suites offer more space, and Family Suites have lounge areas, pullout sofas, and separate bedrooms. A few rooms have furnished patios with lovely views. Rooms differ drastically in
their decor as well. Higher room categories have romantic details -- chandeliers, floral curtains, canopied beds, and crown molding. But Single Rooms are stripped down with little more than a blond-wood desk and built-in wardrobe next to a solitary twin bed. The hotel also offers themed "Lover
Suites," with more flamboyant decor, such as a faux tree with a canopy of leaves framing
the bathroom entrance or a gilded clawfoot bathtub under a painted mural of the pyramids.All rooms have flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and minibars. Rooms in the Residenz building have air-conditioning. (Rooms without AC have fans.) The bathrooms in the rooms differ as well.
Some have only a tub or a shower, and others have a shower/tub combo, though all include a hairdryer. Most of the Standard Room bathrooms are quite small and lack counter space, and guests complain about the lack of toiletries and threadbare towels.
Features
Indoor pool, sauna, free breakfast, and a children's game room
The hotel's best feature is its indoor pool and sauna. Though the pool is
small, it has a jet stream, though no loungers. Those can be found in the sauna area, which also has showers and an infrared cabin. This space doubles as a treatment room for massages that can be booked through reception.The hotel's free breakfast has a variety of options, and guests can request gluten-free or salt-free bread and
lactose-free milk. As an afternoon snack, the hotel provides a
free cup of coffee or tea and a slice of cake in their coffee lounge. And the on-site bar serves drinks 24 hours a day. A free DVD library is available from the front desk, a perk families appreciate, along with the children’s game room. Two computer workstations are available for guests' use, and there's off-site parking, for a fee.
