This city is brought to life through melodies, so Salzburg is a hit with music lovers. It’s the birthplace of Mozart, and much of the classic The Sound of Music was filmed in Salzburg. It’s otherworldly in that it truly takes you back to another time. Stroll tiny, winding streets, pass the quaint shops, take in the magnificent baroque architecture and gasp at the gorgeous mountain vistas.
If this all sounds like a dream to you, you’re in luck! As with any city, there are certainly tourist traps and pricey hotels, but we’re always happy to be a trusted friend, scoping out the best budget hotels for you — hotels that might be low in cost but don’t skimp on everything you’ve come to expect from a comfortable vacation.

Our favorite budget hotels in Salzburg
Here are our top budget hotel picks for Salzburg.
Pension Elisabeth
Neighborhood: Schallmoos
Doubles from $68
With a sun-soaked courtyard and leafy plants dotted all throughout the building, Pension Elisabeth is warm and welcoming, and it’s one of our favorite budget hotels in Salzburg. Simple rooms are clean and offer flat-screen televisions and free Wi-Fi. Save even more by booking a room with a shared bathroom, or “splurge” (the rates are still very cheapo-friendly) on an en suite room. We even spied rooms with balconies and views of the Alps! Let Pension Elisabeth welcome you to Salzburg.
The bar at Hotel Drei Kreuz.
Drei Kreuz
Neighborhood: Schallmoos
Doubles from $59
We won’t lie to you, the decor at Drei Kreuz is nothing to write home about. But rooms are still clean and offer everything you need for a comfortable trip: private bathrooms, televisions, free Wi-Fi and cheap breakfast. The staff is kind, the rooms are fairly spacious, and two rooms even have kitchenettes. You’ll also find plenty of cheap eats all along the street. Score that room with a kitchenette before it is gone.
A charming courtyard at Hotel Krone 1512.
Hotel Krone 1512
Neighborhood: Right Bank
Doubles from $84
This historical charmer is located along a pedestrian-only street lined with old pastel buildings. In fact, the Hotel Krone 1512 itself is tucked into a 15th-century structure complete with vaulted ceilings and an ivy-covered patio. In the rooms, you can find modern televisions, free Wi-Fi, private bathrooms with bathtubs plus views of the city or garden. Just outside, you’ll find plenty of adorable shops and cafes.

We love the old-world feel of the Adlerhof Hotel.
Adlerhof
Neighborhood: Elisabeth-Vorstadt
Doubles from $104
Whether you prefer old-world charm or something more streamlined and minimalist, Adlerhof is ready to appease you. Some rooms feature hand-painted headboards and local furnishings, while others are modernly styled. Both options are equally pleasing, and you’ll find flat-screens, private baths and free Wi-Fi. We recommend a room in the front for more privacy and better views. Breakfast is free, and there are plenty of great cafes nearby. What are you waiting for? Reserve a room!
A stylish room at the Bergland Hotel.
Bergland Hotel

If you’re looking for an interesting place for your home base, the Bergland is it. It’s eclectic and bright in a fun way, with splashes of bright red among the knickknacks. Even the hotel lounge feels like a destination on your itinerary, with its shelves bursting with books, plenty of plant life and a bar to enjoy your nightcap. Among the playful decor, rooms also have flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, kettles, private bathrooms (that are quite beautiful for a bathroom!) and free Wi-Fi.
