“Here's my take: this family-run hotel, centrally located in Salzburg's old town, impresses with its blend of historic charm and modern comforts. I especially appreciate its dedication to family-friendly accommodations and its high-quality breakfast buffet, which features regional products. The elephant-themed decor adds a unique touch that I find quite memorable.”
