The room was clean and had the basic amenities that you would expect from a hostel.
It was conveniently located close to the train station and bus stops.
My 3 day stay was nice. Stayed in a 6 person dormitory however staff isn’t the best at keeping track of who’s staying and who’s not. On my first night I had to switch rooms twice because I noticed this hostel tends to double book (other people in my dormitory had the same experience) Room was clean and I had a pleasant stay with the shared dormitory however I do recommend staff double checks and makes sure who’s staying in what room.
Really big building with lots of space.
Individual rooms were spacious, bed was comfy.
Common areas were great, well kept, lively, but not noisy till too late.
Definitely recommended and I would be keeping this chain in mind for other places
Room clean. Breakfast surprisingly good. Not noisy above what one would expect from an inner city room. Only problem was the check in where required to go through QR code process on arrival that involved entering guest details. Was painful when jetlagged and the person behind the desk was not helpful. Would have preferred to do this at home before flying for 24 hours.
The location was convenient , and the room was a decent size.
The bathroom, however, was disappointing. There was mold in the shower, which made it feel unclean.
I would definitely not recommend staying here during the summer. There is no air conditioning, no fans available, and the windows only open a small amount. The room became unbearably hot, and we could barely sleep because of the heat.
I have never experienced a more inefficient check in process. It took over 10-15 minutes per person. The whole process including waiting in line took almost 1 hour. The room was incredibly hot. The windows barely opened. Luckily I managed to get the last fan. Breakfast was good. For some reason Google Maps had a hard time finding the location. The location was by the way great. Just minutes from the station. Lots of stores close by. All the buses started there so it was easy to get to many places easily.
The room was clean, had everything we needed. There is a nice lounge to stay in and even a small area for kids that our kids loved. Having a small kitchen helped so much. The laundry was easy to use and very convenient. The location is great because it is right next to a mall and the main train station.
Location was fantastic as we were travelling Europe by train. Easy walkable distance to the Old Town but plenty of bus stops located close by as well. Staff were great, had a private twin room and we were very happy with it. Great facilities for doing laundry as well. Overall I would happily recommend staying her to others.
Great clean room; friendly staff although checkin required using one's phone in the lobby to list party details while staff waited for you to do that; nice variety of cold foods for breakfast with 1 or 2 hot items, but it was the same every day (we were there 4 days). Hot cereal, more fruit choices would have been nice; maybe scrambled eggs.
It's close to the transit options, although not the cleanest part of town. But we felt safe and were quite happy with our stay. We would stay again.
The walls are a bit thin and I was put next to a noisy family but I asked to move room and the staff very kindly moved me so had no problems then, good location close to train station with easy access to public buses to the city centre/ airport

It’s good and they're maintain the cleanliness and nearby the Salzburg Main train station.
Convenient location, rooms are big with luggage storage and laundry rooms.
Would have been better if larger standing fans are furnished for the hot summer especially in the rooms with smaller windoss.
