Check in hours are specified but you can coordinate for if you arrive out of those times. Hotel is clean, beds comfortable, nice soaps. Good value and only about 20 min walk to Salzburg old town central. Easy to get to via public transit from airport (one bus). Strong recommendation when you consider value for money and efficiency! I would gladly stay again and recommend for those traveling to Salzburg.
