Hotel muito bem localizado para turistar
Pros:

Gostei da equipe muito atenciosa, da localização do hotel, do quarto que era confortável e de ter elevador. O hotel fica numa região de pedestres. Ao chegar entramos em contato com a recepção e recebemos um código que permite entrar na cancela para deixar as bagagens. Porém depois é necessário deixar o carro no estacionamento, que é perto.

Cons:

Não gostei do banheiro que era pequeno, sem box e alagava a cada banho

Cons:

Die Dusche bzw. Duschwandkonstruktion ist eine Fehlplanung, wenn man duscht setzt man das Bad/WC unter Wasser.

Ein sehr schmuckes Hotel direkt in der Salzburger Alstadt
Pros:

Gutes Frühstück und sehr aufmerksames, freundliches Personal überall. Die Zimmer waren hübsch und sauber.

Cons:

Die offenen Glas-Duschen sind zwar sicher sehr "designer", aber praktisch ziemlich grauenvoll. Es gibt eigentlich keinen Weg nicht das gesamte Bad unter Wasser zu setzen.
