Rooms are clean and comfortable. Lighting in the room is very dull and gloomy but otherwise ok. No AC. Family rooms are large with plenty of room. breakfast is decent. No luggage storage by the hotel but they have lockers that coins or credit cards. Conveniently located close to the train station. The area around the hostel is a bit shady but not too bad.

On the whole quite ok. The shower was okay. The bed comfortable. Too bad they don't offer parking, but guess their target is tourists without vehicles. Sometimes there seems to be hassle with their booking system (same in A&O Munich Laim) of the rooms. Got a key to a room that was already full. The reception gave me a new room and that problem was fixed. Just a bit strange.

They have cleaning staff come in the room daily, walkable to grocery store, train/bus station. Gaining access to the laundry room was a tad annoying since people take away / forget to return the key card to front desk. Have cash ready for necessary deposit because the ATM they have on site has bad convertion rate/fee. No adjustable aircon, and it was bit hot sometime, you have to make deposit to get a fan.
Room door auto closed loudly, every day when a new guest came it when I was sleeping, they let the door closed itself and the slam was very loud. Hope they will fix it to soften the sound.

The staff was extremely rude and showed disrespect to my parents who are senior citizens, they gave us our room 1.5 hours late and then threatened to cancel the room when we inquired the reasons

Definitely a good budget option when visiting Salzburg! The staff were SO lovely and checked me into my private room a couple hours early. It is a 15-20 min walk into the old town - I found the nicest walk in was along the river rather than walking past the station.
There were a lot of school parties on the night I stayed that did make a lot of noise in the corridors, however this did stop around 10:30-11pm and I can understand why it is a good option for school parties to stay here.
If you want to leave your bags here after check out there are large lockers, I think I paid around €5-6 euros for 12 hours

I’ll be honest - we wouldn’t have chosen to stay but the marathon was on and the city was v busy. Our first hostel experience was good, staff were great - really friendly and helpful, breakfast was fine, the place was clean and bright with a real diverse mix of ages of guest ( we are 50s). Walking into town was easy and quick. Room was en suite and basic but fine- worst but was the waterproof mattress covers and pigeon noise from the courtyard.

Tried the fast check in on arrival but this didn’t work and had to go to desk to check in. This then took an age as staff also serve the bar and only one member of staff was on duty. Room was ground floor and quite noisy as it was at the end of a corridor nearest to the entrance area. Room was fine although we had been given the accessible room with walk in shower for some unknown reason. Was shocked to be woken up by loud drilling noises at 07:30!! Obviously some work taking place in the building. If I had to stay here again, I would avoid this room (43) due to its location.

This hotel is OK if you are traveling with a group of friends and are in your younger years. However, for a family of four (children between 8-11) it was a little loud at night, the walls seemed rather thin. Rooms were clean, bedlinen was clean and the bin was emptied daily. Staff at check-in were helpful and pleasent.
I know this isn't a big thing but, the colour scheme of the rooms and corridors was depressing. Three different shades of gray!

Impressed that this hostel runs fully on sustainable energy. Front staff were very warm and friendly despite how busy it was. Wifi quality was great and the lobby area included diverse amenities. Glad that the bathroom and toilets were separate which allowed 2 persons to be able to use simultaneously. Only thing I'd recommend as an improvement is an extractor vent fan for the toilet.
