    A great view, but other than that, probably worth avoiding.

    The restaurant closes too early. The first night there the taxi got us there at 6:00 and we were told the restaurant closes at 6:00, so we went to bed hungry. The second night there we got there right at 5:00 ready to order a meal and were told the restaurant closes at 5:00. We were a little upset, so regretfully they did serve us some soup that was already made. Still, once you get the hang of the place, if you don't need comfort, it is an ok place to stay.

    I loved the location and hated the location. I loved the view once we got there. We usually like to stay within walking distance of the train station. With a lot of luggage that did not work so we had to pay a taxi coming and going. While there we walked up 338 steps to get there.

    The bathroom can be locked so if someone has a long shower you can’t access it. It can be noisy as any sound or talking in the corridors travels.

    The beautiful location and view and it was clean and simple.

    Tired from walking around stepping stairs 😅, because it's in a hill.

    At first it was hard to find the place because I was ignoring their direction to the place. I wasn't expecting that the place would be on the wall of the city wall. The place views are soooo beautiful. The food is good too. And it's really close to the castle. Only 1 km 🥰

    WiFi didn't work on my floor, so I had to go down to connect. It'd be great for the hostel to send a message about how to get to the hostel via lift. I had to bring my luggage through many many stairs.

    The location is perfect, with the most beautiful view of the entire city. The staff was very kind and helped me bring my luggage upstairs. The bathrooms and toilets were clean.

    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.

    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.
