Leonardo Boutique Hotel Salzburg Gablerbräu
Fab hotel in Salzburg for our 4 night stay. Comfortable bed and clean, large room. In a quiet area and a 20 min bus ride from the airport. 10 minute walk to the train station. Very close to the shops and sights. Would stay again if in Salzburg.

Hotel Markus Sittikus Salzburg
The room itself was nice and clean with comfortable sitting areas near the lobby. However, luggage storage was unlocked and unmanned. Any person could have walked right into the hotel and taken your luggage with no staff member seeing. As a solo female traveler, I should have payed more attention ...
