Great hostel--it's got a good atmosphere. Location is perfect between the train station and…read moreMirabellplatz. The beds were comfortable. My biggest complaint and reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because there are no outlets or shelves on the top bunks. There are also no outlets in the bar area. I felt like I was struggling to keep my phone charged while in Salzburg. Other than that, the facilities were clean, WiFi worked well throughout the building, and the food & drinks at the bar were delicious.

This is my first experience at a hostel. I LOVED the front desk staff. They are so friendly and…read morepatient (even when they have to say the same thing over and over and over again to the all the guest that keep streaming in). They are very knowledgeable about the area and always had a smile on their face. The room itself was very clean. I stayed on the second floor (which is the third floor to Americans) in a room with 4 beds. Inside the room there was a sink and lockers. With the lockers and a key card to get into the room, I felt pretty secure and my belongings were pretty secure. The toilets and showers are on the same floor. The shower area also had a bank of hair dryers- which was convenient. They had a big area to lounge around, a bar/restaurant area, and a laundry/kitchen area. Washers and dryers are available for a small fee. They only have two of each, so you have get to them early. They'll give you a map upon check-in which gives some suggestions on walking trails. The location is just a short walk into town. The area was very safe and quiet. I thought this was a very nice hostel to stay at and highly recommend YOHO to anyone staying in Salzburg. Very affordable also- especially if you book in advance online.

This is a great property to stay at. Don't let the "hostel" in the name fool you. This location…read moreoffers private rooms with a private restroom, in addition to standard room types you'd expect in a hostel. A&O is very clean. Its staff is extremely professional and courteous. The services provided at the front desk include: a bar, coffee, tea, food and snacks. The prices aren't to terrible either. The WiFi is fantastic, and it seems to be throughout the entire facility, not just in the common areas. A huge benefit is A&O's proximity to the train station. It's a short and easy walk to get to the front desk. I highly recommend staying here.

In our double room there wasn't a place lay the suitcase down other than on the bed. She's a basic and no frills place that is tucked away from old town (approx 20 minute walk). For the price, it's not bad, but she is needing some basic upkeep to keep it looking nice.

Walking to bridge is too far, path is not straight, ie left/right, left/right, no bus goes there, saw many people waiting 4 taxi in lobby. Very small room for 1 person. Shower Very tiny, hard to completely close. Customers were very old people, including groups. No young/tourists. No view. This is like those tiny freeway hotels in europe. It says this was a dorm.

When we dropped off our bags early, we checked in to find they had already been brought to our room. This was my first hint that this wasn't your average hotel. The room was huge and comfortable and homey (the bowl of walnuts was a nice touch). The heated bathroom floors were perfect for the chilly winter evenings. The rain shower was luxurious. Oh and did I mention they had an expresso machine in the room? I also loved the old radio and little library of books in the room. My boyfriend and I turned on some Christmas music, drank some beer we brought from Brussels and it was perfect. On Christmas Eve they had a little reception for the guests and gave personalized gifts to every family staying at the hotel. The morning breakfast had a huge variety of organic items. There were cheese plates galore, fresh squeeze juices, breads, cakes, you name it. I felt like royalty. Our stay here was the best hotel experience I have ever had, and I was sad to leave. If I have any complaint, it's that the hotel was so comfortable I probably spent more time in it and less time exploring the City than I should have! If I ever find myself back in Salzburg, there is no doubt I will find myself here again.

Found this spot thanks to Ashley B's excellent review. (Thanks, Ashley!)…read more As she describes, the room is minimal, but perfectly comfortable. If you're just looking for a place to sleep and a shower (which we were), this is perfect. The location is also pretty fantastic -- just follow the street and cross the River Salzach to get to the old town. She's also right about this not being your typical hostel. It's a dorm, in which you'll stay in an available room. We were a little sad we didn't get to hear any musicians practicing. In fact, it was quiet. As she mentions, there's no soap provided (towels are), but the free internet wasn't available at our stay; there's a pay service on the ground floor, or apparently an internet cafe nearby (I couldn't be bothered to check mail when I had a city to see). We never had breakfast since it's served from 8-9 and we...uh... enjoyed Salzburg after dark. Finding the place by car was a bit of an adventure. Our directions were perfect; we didn't understand how to get into the pedestrian zone. We knew to look for a barricade and enter a code to gain access, but we expected an arm (like at a train crossing). Instead, it's a cool high-tech post that disappears into the ground to let you pass (we were warned that it comes back up quickly, so hurry through lest the thing come up into the car). Pic attached to help you mentally prepare in case you, like us, have never encountered one of these neatos. Our stay was all-around exactly what we needed, but the best part of our experience was Sabine's exceptional customer service. She was always cheerful and helpful, and her recommendations led us on delightful adventures. I hope she was amused (not creeped out) by how much I thanked her. (If you're reading this, thanks AGAIN, Sabine! ;)
