Bunks were not overly comfortable, blankets are maybe more for small people

Great location

The system of finding your key with the code is lamentable - sign said to use 4-digit code, but code from booking.com was not correct. Finally realized there was a note with our name with another code, which is silly and not secure and also difficult to read. Just email us a code, secure, direct! It felt exactly like an escape room, but trying to figure out how to get IN instead of out. I can't even remember what finally worked... Same thing happened to next guest after us, whom we were able to help at midnight... It worked out, but seemed unnecessarily complicated.

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!)

The bunk beds in the dormitory I was in were not comfortable - very basic and crowded. It was also at the top of a windy staircase and hard to get to especially with heavy luggage - so highly recommended to pack light if staying here.

The views from the Stadhalm over the city of Salzburg were stunning, especially whilst having breakfast in the innermost room of the restaurant. The staff were friendly, kind and accommodating. The food was also very good for the price.

The main thing was the other guests unfortunately being extremely anti-social and rude by coming in late at night and slamming doors, screaming down the halls and banging.

I was so ecstatic with the location of this stay. Though it was a long hike uphill to get there, the views and serenity was worth it.

Much further from City Centre than initially thought

Gorgeous views

1. The location on Google map is not very accurate 2. As it’s a cold place located on the hill, it’s not possible to sit outside the hostel and there’s no sitting area after 5:00 pm and mostly doors are closed. You have to sit/sleep in the bunk bed. If you have some work to do, you can’t because of this reason.

The location and view was spectacular! also worth it for the price.

Blankets could have been a bit thicker and warm

View from our two bed room was amazing. We didn't have breakfast. Location was great. Situated on top of a hill. Therefore, expect a lot of climbing by stairs. However, the view from the hostel was breathtaking. Located at top of Salzburg. Toilets and rooms were very clean. Blankets could have been a bit thicker and warm. Rest was fine. Wifi stength was excellent.

Even though the place was gorgeous, getting there was a bit difficult. Roads leading there were narrow and had sharp turns, and we didn't have the courage to squeeze through with our rather large rental, so we left it in the city and walked to the place. But this we should have expected, since the place was quite high up in an old city. Towels would be much appriciated to include.

The location was great and the view from our room was gorgeous! The staff was really nice, and they went out their way on a busy day to help us figure out a space for our car. Facilities were nice and tidy.

They should warn you about the location and how to get there! The hostel is on top of a cliff, and you have to walk a lot of steep steps to get there. The other way is to pay 3-4 euros (!!) to use the lift of the museum next doors. Definitely NOT WHEELCHAIR FRIENDLY.

Clean and modern facilities

The stairs! We had to walk up 340 stairs to get to the hotel. We did not realise this. We arrive late so the lift was closed and it was raining. We had 3 kids and 2 large suitcases and 5 backpacks - that was not fun! It is a dorm room style with 4 sets of bunks. the room was tiny - not much space for all our suitcases (2 adults 3 kids). No towels provided so we could not have a shower. Shared bathrooms. No one around to ask any questions.

The view from the hotel was amazing. It was nice that breakfast was included. Check-in was contactless (key in a box at the door on arrival). Beds were comfy, sheets and everything were all clean, there was a heater. Once you knew where it was and how to access it, it was fine.

We originally didn’t have towels. Easily amended when we asked the friendly staff. A bit tricky not having any kitchen facilities available to us when the restaurant doesn’t open until 10am. Would have liked a jug to make a coffee at least. This was okay because we planned ahead and brought canned coffee :) We found a good taxi driver (in a small car!!!) who was able to drive us directly to the property but the map address was not accurate and took us a little too far. Minor things for an all round brilliant stay.

Amazing view, what a special place to stay. Staff were also very helpful and friendly. They let us drop off our bags early and the food at the restaurant was fantastic! The view was beautiful! Room and bathrooms were clean and tidy.

The couch was not comfortable at all. The heating didn't work properly and it's winter

Location is stunning.

Climbing the hill to the hostel

The view is amazing since it is located on top of the hill which give nice view of the Salzburg city and alps mountain range.

There's no reception area or maps so checking in was a little disorganised and I wasn't able to get a map for orientation. I was upstairs (up a tiny set of steep stairs) which were a little frightening to go up and down, even though I'm quite capable. The bathroom has 2 showers with frosted glass but not enough room to dress in, and no lock on the door, so it was a little uncomfortable doing what I needed to do after a shower, not knowing if someone would walk in at some point - perhaps a screen between the door and shower space would help... Communication regards what was on offer was not really there. Apparently they do breakfast (but not until quite late) and apparently they open as a Cafe sometime in the mid-morning but I didn't see anything to tell me this. My room was sweet but very tiny and the luggage lockers were also very tiny, resulting in 6 people in a small room with luggage on the floor. Despite these things, next time I stay in Salzburg, this is the place I want to be 🥰

This is a gorgeous location, a nice hike or an elevator ride away from Salzburg old town. The hostel is very sweet and the young men who seem to be running it are as helpful as they can be - it's a language thing rather than them not wanting to be helpful. The location also has parkland nearby and fabulous views - it really is a very specialplace

It is loud late into the night and early in the morning. I put AirPods in to sleep and that worked just fine. There are a lot of stairs to get up to it but there is a lift by the museum but it closes at 9pm and you must pay.

The view is absolutely amazing! It was very clean.

Expensive to use lift and taxis up there

Amazing view, clean and comfortable, use the modern museum lift for 8.70euro for family to get luggage up the hill. Taxis don’t seem to want to pick you up due to narrow lanes so best to get lift down hill and try from the base of museum. Great food. May beech to book a table on weekends. Breaky is only one option though.

Getting to Stadtalm, even though it looks very central, is a bit of a hike. Even though it looks very central on the map, because it's so hight, you need to walk around until you find stairs or ramps to descend into the Altstadt. On your way back, you will need to be able to climb quite a bit. This ended up being charming for us. But if you have mobility problems or if you are travelling with more luggage, be warned. There were no towels provided.

Charming old house built on the edge of a cliff and adjacent to the medieval city fortifications. You have an amazing view both from the room and from the restaurant. The surroundings are green, calm, and filled with fortifications and other historical buildings, perfect for walks both leasurely and sporty. The room was warm and the beds comfortable. Common toilets were clean.

The stairs to our room were too steep to bring our luggage up. No reception and a bit confusing to check in. No common areas to rest, only a restaurant downstairs pretty busy.

Views from the hostel were amazing. Very clean and quiet in the dorms. Recommend staying for dinner.
