The cathedral, the Getreidegasse, Mozart's birthplace, the festival halls, and the Salzach River are just a few minutes' walk away from Small Luxury Hotel Goldgasse. A public car park is situated nearby.

Located in Salzburg, 2.6 km from Festival Hall Salzburg, Pension Ballwein features free WiFi access and free private parking.

All rooms have a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. A terrace or balcony are featured in certain rooms. Rooms are fitted with a private bathroom equipped with a shower.

During my recent trip to the picturesque town of Salzburg, we had the pleasure of staying at the charming Pension Ballwein. From the moment we arrived, we was greeted with warmth and hospitality by Simon and Daniela, making us feel right at home. Simon and Daniela were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their attentive nature and willingness to assist with any inquiries or requests truly made a positive impact on our overall experience. One of the highlights of our stay was the delicious and diverse breakfast provided each morning. Additionally, the cleanliness of the rooms was impeccable. Housekeeping services were carried out regularly, and I always returned to a well-maintained and tidy room after a day of exploring the beautiful surroundings. The location of Pension Ballwein was also ideal, offering easy access to nearby attractions and scenic spots. All in all, my stay at Pension Ballwein was a memorable one, largely thanks to the friendly and welcoming Simon and Daniela. I wholeheartedly recommend this lovely pension to anyone visiting Salzburg, and we look forward to returning in the future.
