Steve Krom in Seattle, WA USA 11/02/2009

Best: Gruner Anger in Hallstadt
Why: No smoking, non-allergenic bedding, with EXCELLENT wifi access on evey floor. Additionally you could enjoy an authentic Austrian dinner in a non-smoking restaurant. He is a great host with a successful long-running business. It is an international destination with guests from Asia, America and Australia all at once.

Raul Sahagun in Hacienda Heights, Ca USA 10/18/2009

Best: Christkonig-Kolleg
Why: Wonderful setting near Salzburg Cathedral. Very quiet except for the lovely church bells that ring frequently. In the evening, you can hear singing from one of the dinner/concert places nearby. Sits above and behind the attractive cathedral square.

Worst: Christkonig-Kolleg
Why: Yes,also the worst! Tiny beds in our twin room, o.k. for me but not for my six foot two grandson. Inadequate attention to the rooms..we had to ask to have our wastebasket emptied. The only person on duty for most of our stay was a woman who, though very pleasant, spoke almost no English. We had to write a note to get the wastebasket emptied and a lightbulb replaced. Her lack of English also made checkout more difficult than need be. Stingy breakfasts!!

Paula Harris in Milwaukie, OR USA 09/04/2009

Best: In Salzburg I would recommend staying at the Gaestehaus Steinerof. (Moosstraße 138, A-5020 Salzburg, Telefon 0662 / 826280; http://www.gaestehaus-steinerhof.at )
Why: This guesthouse is exactly what you would imagine an Alpine house to be. It is located out of town a mile or two (very peaceful and quiet), but is beautiful. A 100 yd walk from the #21 bus stop. Our balcony had a view of the Alps.
