"We enjoyed our stay - a family of four. The location is very close to the train station and easy to walk to the attractions. The local tourist pass offered through the hotel came in late night, which didn't work for us - we literally left the next morning. However, we were able to walk to all of the places we want to hit, so no real impact for us. The washroom, particularly the shower is literally OPEN and see-through the glasses. Didn't quite get the concept, but lectured by the staff implying we should be reading the hotel information before booking - NOT NICE. The breakfast is EUR25 (not cheap), but with the view and selections of food, we all enjoyed it."

"Absolutely lovely room in an extremely walkable location. Beware that there are some people who may be experiencing homelessness around the church across the street in the evening hours. The check in process proved to be a bit difficult as I had paid, but the system wasn’t showing that I had paid so I had to go speak with a staff member. I didn’t love that the staff members are all on the fourth floor instead of welcoming you in the lobby, but as long as you know where to find them, it isn’t too inconvenient. Overall we really enjoyed the room and our stay in Salzburg."
