After much consultation of Tripadvisor reviews we chose the Hotel Gerl over two others nearby. The location off the motorway makes it extremely easy to get to and it has many visible signs that lead the way. Plenty of free parking is available.
The hosts were the friendliest of all the places we stayed during our trip to Austria, making us feel welcome immediately. After a long drive from Vienna, we were bushed and starving... the restaurant the first night was great, especially for our son who is new to international travel and cuisine.
The hotel has a nice indoor swimming pool that was a welcome amenity on a cold March day, and there is a sauna as well. The rooms were comfortable, nicely appointed bathroom as well. Yes, the hotel is on a busy road but most activity is likely commuters into Salzburg. Road noise in the room was not an issue. Free wireless is available in the lobby, ask the staff for the password. Later in our trip we stayed at a larger, more modern hotel...but all in all, this hotel was our favorite! read more
