Beautiful location, friendly staff, great service, brand new rooms. This hotel is set in the picturesque town of Werfen, about a half hour south of Salzburg. If you want to see some beautiful scenery outside of Salzburg, it's here! You can see the Hohenwerfen fortress from the road and either hike or take a tram up to it. They have a great falconry demonstration that totally awed us. The Hallein salt mines are a short train/bus ride away. We did not tour the ice caves. The hotel is a bit of a train ride from Salzburg so if you just want to see the city, it's not the best choice, but it is very doable for a day trip. All in all, we loved it!
