Vienna, Salzburg & TirolGuidebook corrections:Please note: The following corrections were submitted by readers and have not yet been confirmed by Rick. Check updates from Rick for the latest.  Hi there. I just returned from an amazing trip to Austria and Prague. While in Salzburg, I called the Hotel Amdom. As of March, it is no longer a budget hotel but at four star, upscale hotel. 43-0662-842765 Carol Fallon in Newport Beach, Ca USA 11/01/2009 l

I am planning a trip 10 months in advance and I wrote Frau Huemer with my request of dates. She wrote back and said she had rooms and gave me info and requested our credit card info to hold the reservation. Luckily, I only sent half of that info at a time. After submitting the first half of our credit card info, she writes back and now says she has regular guests she will not hear from for awhile, so she now is NOT willing to hold a room. She states we can check back in April next year, one month before travaeling. My opinion, she never should have said she had rooms, nor requested our credit card info to hold one! I feel better that I shared this!! Anne, Stevens, PA Anne in Stevens, PA USA 07/29/2009 You mention an organ in the Stephansdom built in 1960. It was very unsatisfactory and has since been replaced in 1991 by an organ built by Austrian organ builder Rieger. It has 4 manuals, 54 stops.

Found the following not up to what we had expected from previous books: Augusto Aguilera in Bremerton, WA USA 05/27/2009 |
