After many recommendations from the kind people on this board, have decided to do an overnight stay in Salzberg on our trip from Munich. Looking for a hotel that has air conditioning and parking. Would like to be somewhere close enough to walk into Old Town at night. Looking at NH Salzberg City--anyone stayed here before? Open to any suggestions that you guys have. Thanks!
Salzburg never gets that hot, so never mind a/c you likely won't need it, and of course many places won't have it.
Sarah, heat waves may be rare in Salzburg, but they do happen. Some friends from here got caught in a July heat wave two or three summers ago and came back complaining that it was just as hot and humid in Salzburg as in a typical summer in Alabama. The Hotel Elefant, a Best Western hotel in the center of the old city, is air conditioned. We had a short stay there in March at off-season rates a few years ago and liked it. I am sure rates are much higher in the summer, but you could check; it might be worth a splurge for one or two nights. In addition to the RS forum, this is one topic you might want to explore on the TripAdvisor Salzburg forum.
The Star Inn Zentrum is 5-10 min walk to the old town, direct through a pedestrian passage. It has parking underneath the hotel. Not sure about a/c but it's a basic chain hotel, so it may.
