Pros: clean, quiet, lots of public transportation options, friendly/helpful staff, on-site breakfast
Cons: internet would not work more than a few minutes at a time (beware of your data usage), the fridge did not work, so you can’t store things in it, and the beds/mattresses have seen better days.
For the price and location, it’s worth it if the cons do not concern you.

Small room, wi-fi is terrible.

Room is small for the rate being charged. For almost the same price you can book hotel in Vienna with the room double if not more in size.
There is a wi-fi, but at the evening time it is not working more often then working.
Breakfast is OK, although limited with hot food (only boiled eggs and scrambled eggs are hot).

Pros:
Good location, easy check-in/out, good breakfast, elevator, quiet room, very comfortable bed.

Cons:
room was smelly when I entered, had to leave windows open for few good minutes until it was too cold
Quite disappointing - no water cattle in the room. This is pretty standard in all other hotels I stayed in Salzburg (over 10 I think).
Shower is good, but there is no glass door or curtain, so water are all over if you are not careful.

Adding these 2 small things, which shouldn't be a problem to upgrade, would deserve my 5 stars review.

Good location, old style hotel but renovated rooms. Rooms were clean could be improved by having extra pillows provided, changing bedding after a few nights. Bedding not changed during 4 night stay. Cheap soap dispenser offered - nothing else bit basic for a 4 star. Reception staff ok, but breakfast staff so unfriendly and sour. Coffee let out in plastic flasks no service at all at breakfast. Sparking wine not there 2 of the 4 days. Rather cheap bread and tinned fruit. More a 3 star hotel overall. Nice enough good location. Extra charges for air con units in room but safe included.

Decent, reasonably priced, good location

This hotel is absolutely fine for a city break. It is located just a minutes' walk from a pretty, pedestrianised street that leads down a (gentle) hill to the main bridge over the river to the old town.. and there's a supermaket close by.

I would say it's a 3* hotel, definitely not a 4* star, by British standards, as it doesn't have the facilities/ toiletries/decor you would expect from a 4^ but is clean and comfortable. We had a good sized room, which was rather bland and brown. There were twin beds pushed together with single duvets. The side street was noisy but I have ear plugs, so it didn't bother me and when you're in a city hotel, you have to expect some noise. We had to keep the window open, as the room was hot, although we didn't feel the need to spend 10 Euros a day on air conditioning. On the day we were leaving, (early on a Wednesday), the rubbish collection truck came round at 6.30am.. you have been warned!

There was a complaint online about the hotel not offering any conditioner or body lotion. The response was that reception stocks these free of charge and guests only have to ask.. So, I went down to ask for some body lotion but they didn't have any. Don't say you can provide it if you don't have it.

Breakfast was a decent continental breakfast, along with scrambled eggs and bacon. It was the same every day, though, which got a bit boring.

Overall, a good hotel, reasonably priced and near the main sights.

Our unit had A/C in one room but not in the 2nd room. We requested a fan for the 2nd room and that helped a bit. 17 minutes of walk to get this hotel from the main train station and Hertz rental car.

Close, yet in a relatively quiet area.

This hotel is located just outside what we would consider the main touristic area of the city. 10 minute walk to the Mirabell Palace (and area where most tour buses depart from), and probably 10-15 minute walk to the river and main crossing bridge to the principal shopping areas, Mozart's birthplace, etc. It is really convenient, there are supermarkets nearby and if you have been travelling for a while and need a cheap/self service laundry, there is a very good option nearby. The area is not as busy as the main area across the river, still it is surrounded by beautiful streets which make the (very short) walk to the touristic attractions even shorter and enjoyable.
