I went with a group of law students and we had 3 hotel choices. The one you looked up may be one of them (I can't remember the name). I have the information somewhere, so I'll have to check it out. I do know that the people I know who stayed at the hostel hated it, but that may be a different hostel.
The hotel you looked at (http://www.eurocheapo.com/salzburg/hotel/pension-sandwirt.html ???) is on the other side of the river than the rest of the tourist stops in the city apart from one. The hotel I stayed at is the Golden Ente. It's directly on a side street from the Cathederal and in quick walking distance of Motzart's birthplace and pretty much the rest of the major city. Plus, I know they had a number places around there that would arrange a Sound of Music tour (including, I believe the hotel). It's more expensive, but I felt it was charming for a night or two, plus it was right in the middle of everything.
One thing I'd suggest you do there if you have time one evening is the Salzburg Marionette Theatre. I know...I know....but it's REALLY good! I considered staying an extra day just to see it (but I didn't have a hotel room and needed to get back to Vienna).
They usually do Motzart Operas in puppet form, but check out this...
