The hotel offers beautifully decorated rooms fully equipped with a touch of style that blends perfectly with the historical town setting. The unexpected location across the street might not match the hotel's overall style, but the old family-space configuration adds a unique charm. The welcome amenities like fruit platters and sausages with rolls enhance the stay experience.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room was huge with a separate sitting room and offered a lovely view of the castle. It was very comfortable and silent with the windows closed. The service was top-notch with always smiling and helpful staff. The location couldn't have been more convenient, right in the Altstadt area with great shopping and restaurants nearby. The dining experience was outstanding, although a bit pricey. Overall, a wonderful experience with great facilities and amenities.

The hotel surprised me with its excellent room comfort and cleanliness, although the separate building location across the street was unexpected. The service was genuinely warm and efficient, embodying the local traditions of Salzburg. The prime location allowed for easy access to all the city's attractions, outweighing the slight inconvenience of being in a separate building. The dining experience was a bit pricey but offered a variety of exceptional dishes, making it a great choice overall.

The location couldn't have been more convenient, right in the heart of the old town. While the dining options were rather special, I must say they did fall short.
