"Nice breakfast in the morning not a great location for getting out and walking around town (15 minutes to walk back into town) but local bus services were very convenient"

"I was lucky to stay here when the temperature dips below 20 at night so every bit of warmth was appreciated. There was a fan that still worked non-stop to offset the heat produced by four people during the day. Transportation into the town was very convenient with bus stops for 1 and 10 within a few minutes’ walk. The lounge outside the rooms was spacious for eating. Water pressure was great and showers were hot."

"The facilities were clean (toilets, showers). Simple to check in and out.
Note that the hostel is on top of the hill. So each time you would have to climb up and down the Monchsberg.
Some areas of improvement or things to take note:
1. Since it’s next to a nature reserve, there are bugs in the room and your bed if you open the windows. Perhaps bring some bug nets to place over the window.
2. The temperature controls were not working and there was no fan in the room. Two of the three nights...

Spent 2 nights with the family to visit during school holidays Salzburg and sightseeings around.
Quite new, clean, well managed hotel/pension. Friendly and supportive owner. Perfect connection to public transportation, bus stop is right in front of hotel. Great for money spent.

We as a family of 4 were perfectly satisfied and enjoyed our stay. Perfect location away from the madness of Salzburg proper. Check in was a breeze. Check out was a breeze. Just follow the instructions. The only issue was parking. No real info so I figured it out myself. Around the corner is a garage. €10 per day, but if you to the garage office you can get a discount for multiple days. We would definitely stay here again

We had a room with a king and two twin beds, and we loved how fun the room turned out to be. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the hotel is very close to everything we wanted to see in Salzburg, so we never had to take any public transportation.

Near the airport which reduced our transist vost and travel time. Staff was very helpful. I suggest getting a room on the opposite side ofvthe expressway, its is noisy when you open the window. With it closed its quiet. The rooms are small and have the lasted designs. The TV only had 3 channels, no youtube.

Our train was delayed and we were transferred to a bus which was late in arriving but Bhadar , the gentleman who met us was very accommodating. He helped with bringing our luggage upstairs and gave us a welcoming bottle of wine. There are not many early morning breakfast options. Our room was clean and comfortable although the bathroom window is funky and requires going outside to close it for privacy. The ferry ride back to the train station is scenic but be prepared for a long trek up the...

The room was clean, the reception staff were helpful and the bath facilities were impeccable. Overall I had a fabulous time - though for one night.
The breakfast was great with good spread and delicious.
Thank you all for making my short stay memorable.

Great for solo travelers. They have several rooms at reasonable rates for folks like me who travel alone. Plus, they held my bags while I went overnight hiking in the Alps, which was super wonderful!
