I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were ready before check-in time and though a bit small, they were clean and neat. The service was extremely friendly and helpful. The location was ideal, close to all major attractions, shops, and restaurants. The dining experience was good, with a nice selection of breads and cheeses, but a bit basic for a 4-star hotel.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was fantastic, with many attractions just a few minutes' walk away, but the room felt a bit pricey for its size, even though it came with a nice bed and bath. The service was overall accommodating, but there was a rude encounter that marred the experience. The dining experience was satisfactory with a good variety of options, and the hotel's facilities were adequate.

I felt like I was dining in a romantic setting, very comfortable with a small balcony overlooking the church, although the room was a bit small. The service was excellent via email before our stay, helping with parking directions and providing useful information, but could have been more attentive during meals. The location in the historic center was perfect for exploring, offering a peaceful stay in the heart of old town Salzburg. The dining experience was delightful with a variety of fresh and delicious options. Overall, a cozy hotel with great offerings.
