    The location here was amazing! 🌟 Everything was super close by, which was really convenient. We even found a cool spot called Balkan Grill Walter for some quick bites, just around the corner. Our one-night stay was such a pleasant experience.

    The location was perfect for exploring Salzburg, both old city and the newer areas. Since others had commented on the difficulties of getting into the old city and past the bollards, we programmed our GPS with a location on the road outside the old city and the followed the instructions provided by the hotel. The staff were very helpful in ensuring we got to see the best of the city.
