K6 Rooms by Der Salzburger Hof

NOTE: THIS REVIEW IS FOR SALZBURGER HOF, NOT THE K6! We only had one day and one night in Salzburg. As we were traveling as a family of four with two older teens (boy and girl), we need three beds. The K6 by Salzburger Hof had a room that would fit us. The K6 is a separate building across the street from the hotel proper, sharing a small parking lot. The K6 appears to have been an apartment building converted to rooms. Upon arrival, we were told there was a mix-up and that the room we reserved was given to someone else. Instead, they provided us two rooms in the hotel proper (DER SALZBURGER HOF) instead at no additional charge. This was fine for us - better, because the kids had a separate room! Parents understand what we mean. The rooms were identical and across the hall from each other. Both had a large bedroom space with a large, comfortable bed and room for bags and such. The bathrooms were also large with a shower with good water pressure. The air conditioning in the room works well. Breakfast was very good - not as good as the Mercure but good and satisfying with good hot and cold options. The common areas of the hotel included some sitting areas and a bar with beer on tap and wine/spirits available. The impression upon entering the lobby is very positive. The staff is excellent and friendly.

Unfortunately, the location is the main detraction. It was well over a mile (and on the other side of the river) from the historic city center. It was the one day we ended up walking over ten miles, and we arrived early afternoon! There were limited transit options to the city center nearby, so we just walked it. Fortunately it was summer so daylight until well past 21:00 but the neighborhood surrounding the hotel (which is, thankfully, on a back road versus main busy road) is not the best. It didn't strike me as dangerous but some travelers may feel uncomfortable. I thought it was just working class and had limited options for food or anything to do. It was mostly a mile plus of nothing to get to the city center. My fault but our options were limited finding something to accommodate the family.
