Un posto fantastico!
Pros:

Tutto, la gentilezza del personale, la posizione, il ristorante veramente ottimo. Gentilissimi alla reception e in sala colazione. Grazie! Perfetto per girare a piedi e visitare tutte le attrazioni di Salisburgo, da consigliare!

Cons:

La doccia, ridicola nelle dimensioni, impossibile lavarsi senza allagare il bagno. Peccato.

Familiengeführtes Hotel mit historischem Charme mitten in Salzburg
Pros:

Sehr zentrale Lage mitten in der Altstadt von Salzburg. Das Hotel war gut mit einer Buslinie vom Bahnhof zu erreichen, auch mit einem Taxi kann man direkt vor dem Hotel abgeholt werden. Das Zimmer war gut ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Das Highlight beim Frühstück war der Karottensaft, den man sich frisch pressen konnte. Das Personal an der Rezeption, im Frühstücksraum und bei der Reinigung war sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich.

Cons:

Wir hätten zwei Einzelbetten bevorzugt.

とても良かったし、また次回があればここに泊まると思います。
Pros:

なんと言っても素晴らしいロケーションでした。それとホテルの1階にあるレストランが美味しかった。便利だったこともあり、2泊して夕食は2回ともこのレストランを利用しました。

Cons:

私の予約した部屋が小さな部屋だったからなのですが、シャワーのスペースが小さく、洗面台と床を共有していたため、シャワーを浴びると床がびしょ濡れになってしまいました。もう少し大きい部屋を取ればこういう問題はないのでしょう。あと、wifiが遅い？繋がりにくい時がありました。

A nice hotel but would not be at the top of my list to stay there again.
Pros:

Good location, acceptable breakfast and warm comfortable room. Friendly staff and the bathroom had been nicely modernised with excellent facilities.

Cons:

There are no tea and coffee facilities in the room. There is no bar in the hotel to have a drink - its down in the basement with access off the street. Also there is no restaurant run by the hotel. It is sub let to another company.
The street outside can be noisy on an evening into the early hours.

Cons:

Trotz Umwelthinweis zum Hängenlassen der Tücher (wenn man die alten behalten möchte) , wurden diese am zweiten Tag gewechselt.
Bemühungen werden zur Farce.
