Rather urgent: Salzburg hotel choosing between Priest Guesthouse and Vier Jahreszeiten

Hello.
I only have a day or two to decide
We are staying around Easter and are choosing between these two hotels. The Guesthouse location seems ideal but it looks really austere with no tv or amenity in rooms. Also not cheap, over 200 euros a night. The Vier Jahr seems a bit further out. A little bit cheaper but no idea if rooms are large and if it's any good. Both places have websites that don't show enough. Please advise if you have experience. We will be arriving by train and we are first time visitors. Thanks.

I stayed at Priesterseminar in June 2023. It is somewhat stark but so were the other 2 monasteries I’ve stayed at and the 2 I have scheduled for this year. All had en-suite bathrooms, were clean and comfortable. Breakfast is simple but adequate. I didn’t miss TV; local concerts and entertainment in the evenings were more enjoyable. Some have A/C, others don’t. Unless something has changed, this one doesn’t but does have a fan. It was cool enough that A/C wasn’t missed.
Location is great, easy walk to major attractions.

Book through their website for best rates and cancellation policies.

200€/night? I pulled up approximate dates as to when I stayed, €145/night now; €95/night then for a single room.

Thanks so much. I could see it being a good value at 145. But at 200 I think it's a bit much for such stark rooms. I'm sure the location is ideal though.
