Is this B&B too far from central Salzburg?

In general, I wouldn’t be concerned about staying in a Pension in Anif. It’s a few miles south of Salzburg, and close to Hellbrunn, a major attraction, and you can get to and from town quite easily using public transportation – an O-bus I think. You wouldn't spend much time in transit.

Out of interest, I looked up the place you are interested in on Google Earth. Even though it’s located a little south of Anif, I still wouldn’t be troubled about distance from town. However, it appears the pension is located very close to the Autobahn, and I would be concerned about the noise. There may be effective noise walls between the Autobahn and the Pension, but it’s something to consider. Also, I was not impressed by the price they charge for the room.

If it were me, I would keep looking. A place in the suburbs is generally a good idea, there is great bus or train service connecting all of the small towns around Salzburg to the city. I think Lee in one of his previous posts mentioned that he stayed in Freilassing, on the German side of Salzburg suburbs, for a good price. I’d look into it if I were you.

I’m reconsidering my remarks about price. 134 Euros for two nights for two people, including breakfast and Salzburg Card, is pretty good for a location this close to Salzburg.

I would ask about noise from the Autobahn, though.

I'd check Rick's book. You can find cheaper places closer to town. Like he says, not buying a good guidebook (or an e-version of one) is being penny-wise and pound foolish.

Hi Corey,

We stayed here once quite a few years ago. Close to Salzburg's old town.
