What makes a hotel in Salzburg cosy?

Cosiness is about warmth, intimacy and character: small room counts, fireplaces or soaking tubs, natural materials like wood and stone, and reviews where guests feel genuinely welcomed rather than processed. We rank Salzburg hotels on exactly these signals. In Salzburg, that currently puts The Mozart on top at 7.8/10.

How many cosy hotels in Salzburg have you scored?
