Here are some of my favourite places to stay in Austria - especially suited for the single traveller! (and if you're wondering, the Maronispitze has nothing to do with hotels, just a gratuitous piece of food porn!)
Quirky, quaint and convenient: a country house right in the middle of town.
Four-star comfort for B&B prices within a scuttle of the lake;
one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in.
Huge rooms; glossy, well-equipped bathrooms; superb location: first choice for Salzburg!
Four pensions ranging from bargain to moderate, consistently high standard throughout.
Pension Pertschy is my favourite for the quaintness of living in a seventeenth-century palace.
Pension Christina is the bargain Pertschy-lite, in an ideal location.
