Concierge
"Reopened in December 2004 after a top-to-toe renovation, the 55-room Stein now boasts the requisite minimalist mid-century style of decor."

Concierge
"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."
Frommer's
"This is not your typical Radisson property -- in fact, its style and charm are a rather radical departure for the chain." Full review
Lonely Planet
"Located on the busy backstreet of Judengasse, this smartly converted coaching inn is one of the oldest in Salzburg, mixing top-end style with lashings of old-world charm."

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.
