Top Salzburg Hotel Reviews

IMLAUER Hotel Pitter Salzburg

IMLAUER Hotel Pitter Salzburg

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our dinner for 10 people at the Rooftop restaurant of the ImLauer Hotel. The hotel is well kept and in a good location for walking, dining and shopping. We were able to get parking for our 2 Mercedes touring vans which was very important to our group. Our young check-in man was new so he didn’t program our room keys correctly but he was trying and that’s what counts. Also we recommend having wine corkscrews in each room or at least a few at the front desk. We had to go to the 6th floor every time we wanted to open a bottle of wine or beer. FYI, The Penz Hotel in Innsbruck has them in every room."
