Set within the Old City, this hotel is quaint but has some modern updates within. For what it is,…read moreit delivers but will leave those looking for a modern or chic-boutique experience wishing for more. For a base of operations within walking of many of the old city sites it serves the purpose. Rooms are small but typical Euro including the lack of any shower curtain or door leaving a ridiculously inadequate barrier. If rating European hotels on their ability to douche the entire bathroom floor with the shower this would be a 10 (meaning you should probably build an ark!) Fixtures and lighting have all been modernized, the wifi internet is free with a password and faster than many upscale places I have stayed in and the bedding is comfortable. What is lacking is air conditioning so a stay here in summer can feel like a sauna (I recommend room 10 which faces a shaded back courtyard and is quiet, cooler and comes with a cool dwarf sized door cut into the cement for entry!) breakfast included in your rate and is a reasonable Euro selection of charcuterie, bread, fruit and cereal. For those of you addicted to a brand name experience, a stunning breakfast buffet and a spa within, go elsewhere. But to have a period experience in Salzburg, I would stay here again.
