Leonardo Boutique Hotel Salzburg Gablerbräu
"Hard to get in to get bag out of the car. You have to ask for a code every time and the time to enter the street which is very narrow and crowded. Avoid this hotel if you’re traveling with a family and several suitcases or be prepared to carry everything from the parking garages about 2 blocks away. ..."
