Top hotels in Altstadt Salzburg
Leonardo Boutique Hotel Salzburg Gablerbräu
Super courteous helpful and knowledgeable staff. The room was very clean and comfortable. The room was a little too warm but we were able to open the windows for some fresh and cold air. Location is wonderful - within walking distance to all spots in Salzburg which is a highly walkable town.

Altstadthotel Stadtkrug
Nice room but a bit small. Room was too hot. Had to leave window open all night (it was December). Had an ice machine but no buckets for the rooms. Had to borrow one from the restaurant but they didn't seem happy to loan it.
