Hotel IMLAUER & Bräu

We stayed 5 nights at this hotel and were happy with our choice. I would rate the hotel and *location* a 4 to 5-star because: * It is within walking distance to/from Salzburg Hbf & central bus terminal. This makes day trips to St Gigen (Wolfgansee, Schafberg), Bad Ischl, Hallstatt and Berchtesgaden (Kognissee, Eagle’s Nest super easy and convenient with buses 150, 250. * The area is safe, active even in the evening and surrounded by many cafes and restaurants from Asian to Japanese, Indian to Austrian. * It is walkable to Old Town, and bus stops are just a short walk or across the road. * The hotel’s Brau restaurant is one of the highlights in Salzburg and it is crowded almost every night. The alfresco dining area is quite cool in the evenings. However the food is kind of too salty for us, but good old days’ ambience. * There is a medical clinic (Dr Sol) and a pharmacy just round the corner. Thank God for that because I had to visit one during our stay at Salzburg. * The room is clean, of good size and if you skip one day of house keeping to save the earth, they will give you a $5 voucher to dine at the restaurant. * Coffee and tea bags unlimited refill. Kettle for boiling hot water and in room safe, although pillows too soft for our liking. These are things that matter to us and I would recommend this hotel.
