I'm having a hard time finding a good place to stay. We had a farmhouse in Berchtesgadan that we were excited about but it got away from me ( too slow in reserving it) something similar would be great but many people are recommending we stay in Salzburg itself. We would like a nice place with good reputation and close to the old part of town for walking, restaurants, concerts etc. We wouldn't mind staying outside of the town if someone has a memorable place and can share it with me.
Thanks so much

I was in Salzburg last fall and we stayed at the Goldener Hirsch which is in the old town. It was a bit of a splurge as I don't normally stay in luxury hotels, but it really is a special place if it's within your budget. I can't imagine a better location in Salzburg. The hotel itself oozes history - apparently the hotel has been in continuous operation since 1407. I would at least check it out. There is an amazing restaurant in the hotel next door also... I believe it's the restaurant in the Art Hotel but can't recall the name.

Salzburg has a very large number of bed and breakfasts, and they're just about all great places to stay. Everyone in Salzburg is very friendly, and act like a bunch of tour guides trying to help you.
I go to Booking.com and filter the rooms in a city by cheapest to more expensive. Then, I'll go down the list looking for accommodations with abnormally high customer ratings. I've never had a bad experience.
We've stayed in the city in a B&B--close enough to walk to the Augustiner Brewery. We've also stayed 4 miles south of town on a farm B&B and rode public transit into the city. We see why it's such a popular city for visitors.

The town of Berchtesgaden is up on the hill above the Hbf. There is a footpath from the station and buses run regularly to the town. The buses to the Eagles Nest and Königsee leave from the Hauptbahnhof.
I have stayed here, in Gästehaus Alpina. Nice place, good price. It's a short walk up Ramsauerstr. from the Hauptbahnhof, but still below the town.

Hi Jay,
Here's another farmhouse in Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden, that friends stayed at when the Mayringerlehen was unavailable. They said they loved it.
