In-Depth Review
Apartments Golden Roof holds the highest review score in Innsbruck — 9.6/10 on both Agoda and Booking.com — and the pitch is simple: it sits right beside the Goldenes Dachl, the city's signature gilded balcony, and it comes as apartments rather than rooms, which suits families and groups far better than a standard hotel.
Rooms and decor
The apartments are genuinely spacious, with the living area clearly separated from the bedroom, and they sleep 3-4 in comfort. The kitchen is the real draw — a full setup with an induction hob, fridge, microwave and a washing machine. Guests keep coming back to two things in their reviews: how clean the place is, and the warm, modern Austrian fit-out. The beds are soft, and a few rooms even catch the mountain peaks from the window.
Food and amenities
There is no restaurant or breakfast service here — the point is the kitchen. A supermarket sits close by, so you can shop for ingredients and cook your own meals, which is exactly why families book it. Between the washing machine and the full hob, it is set up for a longer, more self-sufficient stay than a hotel room allows.
Location and getting there
Open the door and you are at the Goldenes Dachl and the old-town square. Traditional Austrian restaurants, cafes and the shops along Maria-Theresien-Strasse are all a 1-5 minute walk. The central station is about 700 metres away, an 8-10 minute walk, so arriving by train and rolling straight to the door is easy enough — just mind the cobblestones with a hard suitcase.
Things to know before booking
There is no 24-hour front desk, so you have to arrange your check-in time in advance — message ahead rather than turning up late and hoping someone is there. The old-town cobblestones can be a slog with wheeled luggage. And because this is an apartment stay, you skip the full-service hotel extras: no reception on standby, no on-site dining, no breakfast laid on. You are self-catering, which is the whole idea.
Our take
This is a near-perfect fit for a family of 3-4 or a group of friends who want more space than a hotel room, a kitchen to keep food costs down, and the old town on their doorstep the moment they wake up. Rates start around $130 a night, which is excellent value once you split it per person. Couples who are not on a tight budget and simply prefer the feel of an apartment over a hotel will love it too.

Insider Tips
- Message ahead with your arrival time to set up the self check-in, since there is no 24-hour front desk waiting for you.
- Hit the nearby supermarket on your first evening and use the full kitchen — cooking even a couple of meals stretches the per-person value a long way.
- Pack a soft duffel or a backpack rather than a hard roller bag; the old-town cobblestones make the last few hundred metres easier on a smaller wheel.
