Practical Room in a historical prestigious hotel, in the central location
Pros:

Excellent location, convenient and practical for the purpose of my stay. Room was clean, quiet, well-equipped with wall hooks, a security safe for valuables, a closet, a fridge/minibar etc. This is a classical historical hotel, and the room was relatively compact, but well appointed with sensible colour and furniture (including aircon). Bathroom facilities are contemporary style, and impeccably clean.

Cons:

Everything was great, but, if I must add something, the room / the bed was rather compact, and a big sized guest might find it a bit tight, even though for me personally, it was totally fine.

Great location in the heart of it all. Cant miss!
Pros:

Location Location Location. Right in the heart of it all. Perfect location! Close to all sights and attractions. Everything walkable, even the tour meeting sports, Mirabell Palace concert. Didn’t need one driver anywhere.

Cons:

I had a single unit perfect for one. However the fourth floor was super hot. I’d definitely return, but request a lower floor next time.

Muhteşem
Pros:

Otelin konumu muhteşem. Çocuğumla seyahat ettiğim için gün içinde otele dönüp dinlenebildik ve sonrasında tekrar gezintimize devam ettik. Recepsiyondaki çalışanlar sorduğum her soru ile ilgili çok yardımsever davrandılar. Bu otelde kalmasaydım Salzburg gezimiz bu kadar rahat ve güzel olmayabilirdi.

Freundliches Personal, aber die Aussicht gegen eine Wand ist grenzwertig für diesen Preis
Pros:

Sauber und nicht zu klein

Cons:

Man schaut aus dem Fenster direkt in 50cm Entfernung auf ein Wand, hat also ein leichtes Gefängnis Feeling
