    Location was the best for our trip. It was 2 blocks from our day trip meeting spot. It was very convenient to walk across the river to the old town. Although it was an older architecturally built hotel, our on-site was fully renovated with modern comfort. Our room was spacious, with vintage style furniture and decorations. We didn't sign up for breakfast. There was a modern comfy cafe right across the street 😀.

    The flat was very clean, modern, tastefully decorated with new appliances and in an enviable location in Salzburg city centre with lots of bars and cafes on our doorstep. The extra large soft superking bed and central heating were also a huge bonus (given the -11c temperatures outside). It was a large studio - a spacious size for a couple on a weekend break We were also very pleased to be able to leave our luggage at the apartment early after catching an early flight by prior arrangement with the owner.
