The location is perfect to be able to step out and be in the middle of town

The location of the property was very good for access to the Old City section of Salzburg, but parking and getting to the hotel is a challenge. Be prepared to do a little walking from the parking area. Breakfast was very good and the staff very friendly and accomodating.

An absolute gem in the heart of the city. My room was tiny but completely perfect for one person. The bed was like a cloud! The shower stall was a bit small for me but I’m a big person. The breakfast was incredibly good, and filled me up for the rest of the day!

I stayed in a economy double room with my daughter but room was too small fot 2 people. I recommand hotel getting rid of every furniture, especially couch. No room for 2 luggage open. Scenery is terrible. Economy room is not worth price for those conditions.
Bed was comfort, breakfast was good. Location is best.

The ability to drop off bags or get a car close to the hotel is non-existent unless you know the codes to get into the city center. The walk from the parking area is not bad but on a rainy day a bit of a challenge.

The hotel is nowhere near the parking garage and it was challenging to get the luggage to the hotel from the public lot where we had to park. This is common in old town areas of the cities that we visited.
