Cocoon Salzburg Hauptbahnhof
"Hotel is very near train, bus, and tram station, with convenient grocery store in the train station. The room was clean, comfortable, with two twin beds, and a cocoon chair. Front desk staff was excellent and we were given apples and a bottle of water for the room. The breakfast buffet was lovely, and we were given access to free transportation for city tram and buses. There are a variety of restaurants closeby and easy access to Old Town."
