Staying in Salzburg

Lynn writes,

Could you recommend a few of your favorite accommodation near Mirabell Garden in Austria? We will be in Salzburg August 10 and 11. We are a family of five with three daughters.

It's been a long time since I've been to Salzburg, birthplace of Mozart and dream destination for fans of The Sound of Music. But from what I understand, these are good bets very near the gorgeous Mirabel Gardens:

• Hotel Bristol
• Best Western Hotel Stieglbräu
• Hotel Markus Sittikus
• Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten
• Hotel zum Hirschen Josef Wallmann

For those of you who have been to Salzburg more recently, can you comment on any of the above or add your own recommendations?
