A fine budget hotel right near the station. No frills, but was fine. Check in process very long and room wasn’t ready when we arrived.

I gave this a five because it is what it says it is and maybe a bit more. Very convenient to the train station. Tall rooms with good lighting. Breakfast was fine. All for very reasonable price.

My only complaint about this property is that the rooms were way too hot, making it hard to sleep some nights. They need to turn the heat way down---or at least privide windows that open for some air. Otherwise, it was fantastic!

Outlets in the room did not work, my check in was delayed by over two hours because the room “had not been cleaned yet.” Staff were great, and room was clean. Good for the price, but not amazing.

Convenient location near the train station, but a bit far from main city attractions. The rooms are ok and quiet for a hostel.

This a&o was in much better shape than Munich. The only drawback was that it attracts a lot of teen groups who are super noisy, well into the night, even after 10 p.m. quiet time cutoff. Staff was pleasant. Great location, 5 minutes from train station and an easy walk to the Old Town.

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.

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

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.

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
