"Was excellent"
Leonardo Boutique Hotel Salzburg Gablerbräu
"The hotel is located close to all the amenities of the city and within a nice district for food. Would recommend for anyone wanting to visit The Sound of Music and exploring the city."
Altstadthotel Wolf-Dietrich
"Well located, very clean room with nice amenities, friendly staff. We did not eat the breakfast, but bar for a nightcap was so welcome."
IMLAUER Hotel Pitter Salzburg
"This hotel was perfect! Our room was clean and big, they offered chocolates when we arrived and treats in the fridge in our room (even a to-go bag of goodies for our train ride to our next location). Staff was super friendly. Location was very central, so easy to get to the Fortress, Palace, shopping areas, tours and train station. Def go to the rooftop bar/restaurant. The view is unforgettable and the food/drinks were great. Didn’t have great food at Pitter Keller, maybe we got there too late. We’d definitely stay here again."
