NH Collection Salzburg City
Quiet street in a nice area close to everything. The hotel rooms were small but nice. The breakfast was okay. The staff were kind but the WiFi was slow. I would stay there again though.

Hotel IMLAUER & Bräu
Wonderful staff - friendly and welcoming, with a great restaurant attached for breakfast and dinner. The location was super handy for being close to (but not too close!) to the main station but very easily walkable to the main sights of Salzburg. The room was compact but neat and nicely furnished. ...
