"Formerly one of Salzburg's oldest inns, built in 1377, this landmark building in the old town has managed to preserve some of its medieval cuteness despite its new trendily sparse decor."

Note: River views are lovely, but avoid the rooms on the bottom floor facing the river, as these can be noisy—the bar here goes to 4 am on the weekends.
