Perfectly clean and cozy room with a lot of functional space for luggage/clothes. The beds were crazy good. We had a little trouble getting there because of Google Maps not telling us about lines 3 and 8 of the local busses and had to take a regional bus - with the local busses you'll get to the hostel in about 10-15 minutes from the city center/central station. We did not book our breakfast but could just buy it in the morning - 5€ for a nice buffet, nothing extraordinary but you can refill as much as you want and there's variety - did the job. Alltogether I found the room a little too expensive but we booked with very little advance and Salzburg is actually quite expensive, and for a room this clean we were just happy to pay a little more. Highly recommended!

All hostels in Salzburg

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    View outstanding, but of course a hike to earn it! Once you get used to those stairs it goes more quickly but the first hike up with bags was grueling. Clean clean clean, very safe feeling place, youth hostel vibe (but super clean!)

    One of the best hostels I’ve been to. Very cheap but the hostel offered a lot like free towel and toiletries. It’s very clean as well. It’s close to the train station and check-in is very quick. They send a booking code that can be used on a self-Checkin machine that actually works. Will definitely stay here again when I go back to Salzburg.

    The hostel was in a great location, on a quiet street halfway between the train station and the city centre. Staff were friendly and always around to answer any questions. There were lots of ladies showers, and they were kept very clean. Rooms were spacious and included a desk and a secure locker each (which locked with your room key). The bunk beds were really solidly built and comfortable (not the flimsy squeaky type you get in most cheap hostels!) Coffee, tea and juice available at reception throughout the day was a nice bonus.

    The eco concept and design was cool. Loved the reclaimed wood and dangling light bulb and socket design. The decor was practical and beautiful. Beds were sturdy and comfortable. Great communal areas - had a good backpacker/hostel vibe. Easy to check-in, convenient luggage storage and easy to get from the airport and hauptbahnhof. Safe location and quiet. Great for a solo female traveller. About 10mins walk from the city centre.
