    A bit off downtown Salzburg.

    Minimalistic, purpose-built. Amazing breakfast!

    The automatic light in the bathroom which is not fun in the middle of the night.

    Comfortable beds, Clean. Good breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy parking. On edge of town so good for getting an early start. There is a regular bus from the stop outside the hostel that takes you to the centre via the airport so it would be an ok place to stay even if one didn't have transport.

    In the morning, only the hot water worked and there was no cold water. The rooms are noisy and become very hot during the summer, as there are no air conditioners.

    There's a bus station right before the hotel. The staff was friendly, and we were allowed to use the fridge in the conference room. The wooden interior looks beautiful.

    It was too warm, perhaps the windows should be openened during the day. Shelves just above bed need cleaning.

    Large room, very functionally designed. Nice breakfast. Silent because of good doors.

    You need to use uber or own vehicle to get to the city centre. Rooms have the enough facilities to stay well, but you need to ask if you need any additional facilitie (like a hairdryer).

    Good value for the money. Hotel was clean, and the zone where is located is quite and easy to park.

    They didn't have a kitchen to cook by yourself (it could just be basic, like a microwave and kettle) or a laundry room to wash your own clothes.

    The breakfast was very complete and the room was cozy and comfortable.

    Fine, cheap, clean and calm hostel at subarb of Salzburg. It is fine for spend the night on some longer trip. It is directly on troleybus route leading to center. Perfect breakfast with view on Alps.

    I did notice some filth on the floor and on the shower head. The shower head sprayed the water somewhat foggy because the shower head holes were a little clogged. But after we cleaned it it went back to normal. A hand soap pump would’ve been of easier use than a soap bar, but since it’s an eco friendly place I understand why the choice for a soap bar was made.

    I loved how spacious the bathroom was. The shower was practical and actually did help me shower much shorter than I’m used to, so that was nice. Breakfast wasn’t big but there was enough choice to fill my stomach in the morning. Rooms were alright. Nothing special, good enough for 3 nights.

    Location is quite outside of Salzburg but there are several buses that leave right outside the accomodation.

    It's a dorm room so our expectations were low but it turned out to be quite a decent accommodation. The bathrooms are clean and modern. I was surprised how good the breakfast buffet was.

    The AC was not functioning, and the only ventilation was through the windows.

    The hostel was located quite far from the city, and could be reached by few direct buses from the railway station. The staff was friendly and we had a seamless check in and check out experience. The hostel itself was located in a quiet neighborhood with the bus stop right outside. The room was clean, and was also equipped with lockers to store clothes, and a dining table. What really stood out was the well designed bathroom, with the shower, sink and toilet in separate areas, which made getting dressed very easy. Our room had two bunk beds with the linen provided. The eating area on the first floor served a good breakfast that included a variety of breads, meats, cereal, eggs and beverages. Overall, a good, comfortable stay

    Beds were small and uncomfortable. Lack of WiFi/phone signal. Hostel wasn't complete so some areas had empty spaces.

    Bus stop right outside the hostel. Plug sockets next to the bed. Had vending machines. Pool table. Breakfast was nice and plenty to choose from. Shops and restaurants within walking distance. Really close to the airport.

    Depend on a room you might end up with windows looking straight at bus final stop.

    Very clean space, with simple but comfortable rooms. Great as a space for a short stop during the longer trip. Helpful stuff and reception open till late.

    When we asked for the towels, the receptionist gave us an annoying look, but we received them. It was a bit noisy in the morning due to the constructions nearby.
