YoHo Youth Hostel

I stayed in the female-only ensuite, and it was fantastic! The check-in process was quick and hassle-free, and both the room and bathroom were impressively clean. The social spaces were well-designed and inviting, making it easy to meet other friendly and young travelers. The location was great too—super convenient for exploring the area. If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, and sociable hostel, this is a great choice!

"Not Suitable for Families – More for Backpackers ⭐⭐☆☆☆" YoHo Youth Hostel is more of a student/backpacker-style stay, not ideal for families. The biggest letdown was the breakfast—for €8, I expected more effort, but it was just basic supermarket bread and cheese, nothing freshly prepared. The washroom had mold (Schimmel), which was disappointing, and no towels or bathroom essentials like soap or liquid were provided. I understand it's a budget hostel for students, but I should have planned better for a family trip. If you're a solo traveler or a student, it might work, but not recommended for families looking for comfort. 🚫

Stayed here for a few days during Christmas and had a very pleasant experience overall! The staff was very friendly, there's free coffee in the lounge and for 8€ you can get a buffet breakfast in the mornings. Also lockers to store your luggage post checkout for 1€. Some minor downsides are there's no free towels provided, so either rent one or bring your own! The pillows are also a little thin but I folded mine and slept just fine. For the price it's genuinely great value, very clean hostel at a good location near central station!

Amazing hostel, with clean installations and superb location. The breakfast was simple (not included on the fare, costing 7 euros) but delicious, products with good quality. The staff were one of the nicer I'd ever meet and the parties were amazing as well - it was fun downstairs on the bar but the room was quiet and dark, allowing me to have good night of sleep.

Nice hostel with great location, great service. The bathrooms were a little bit dirty but the rooms were very clean. I would only appreciate maybe some curtains or separation between beds for some sense of privacy. Shout out for sound of music cinema every night.

The place was great, it is a vibing hostel where you would meet internationals from all over the world the rooms, bathrooms and showers were clean with bed sheeting available. they offered lockers inside the room and offered a storage unit too in the basement. open buffet Breakfast costs 8 Euro, you would pay more outside in the train station for example. and for dinner you can order a pizza. Coffee, tea and water were free of charge. the guy at the check in is just so nice. the other guy who probably is the hostel manager were just too nice. arriving early in the morning probably has teased the lady at the checkpoint. she was a little bit aggressive but eventually answered all my questions.

Amazing place to stay, and the staff were so kind! Located close to the Hauptbahnhof (main train station), and within walking distance of the Old Town and all the sights. I highly recommend getting the breakfast and visiting the bar in the evening. Great value and plenty of other travellers to meet. Definitely try to join the group watching The Sound of Music at 8pm each night.

Great hostel, met some incredible people and had a lot of fun. The bar is very chill unlike in most other hostels, you can sit there with a cup of free tea and play board games or work on your computer, there is nice music playing but not too loud. Stayed in a female room with an ensuite bathroom, and that was just great. Walking distance to basically everywhere.

Great hostel--it's got a good atmosphere. Location is perfect between the train station and Mirabellplatz. 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 patient (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.

What a fantastic hostel! I actually would prefer to give it 4.5 stars, but I would rather give the hostel the benefit of the doubt. Only and biggest complaint- there are no available charger outlets for the top bunk so you have to be trusting and leave your phone charging on the floor. There is also no shelf up there so you can't keep anything up there. The management is so incredibly friendly. Upon arrival, they are set out to help you check in and organize your stay with discount to for toes and such. You can rent a towel for just .50 euro. The actual property is extremely convenient to the city and is just a short walk from restaurants and bars. There is a bar in the ground level which is a great way to meet people in the hostel. The rooms are a bit tight, but not overly so. The bathrooms are some of the cleanest I've seen and I met the cleaning staff at least once per day. There are lockers with a card lock so no need to bring your own. Great security. Thanks for a great stay!

a completely dorm style hostel. rooms are available with 2, 4, 6, or 8 beds. there's a communal bathroom on each floor with at least 4+ stalls with floor-to-ceiling doors. the showers are separated by gender and also have at least 4 stalls with frosted glass doors. each shower has a changing area and a shower area - VERY convenient, very spiffy blue coloring on the tiles, and VERY clean. and there's a whole line of hairdryers lining the mirror when you step out from your shower. much appreciated :) the kitchen churns out breakfast every morning and dinner every night. for a fee, of course. outside of those hours, the kitchen is free for personal use. each person gets their own electronic keycard that accesses both the door to your room and your own personal locker. there's also a sink in every room so if all you need to do is brush your teeth and wash your face, you don't need to run down the hall to do it. there's also a laminated poster on the inside of the room door that tells you rules, wifi codes, and general things to know about the city. you got a question? i bet you it's answered on that poster. our 4-person dorm room had 2 sets of wooden bunk beds.. brought me back to my college days. and each bed has the fluffiest comforter and big square pillow you've ever seen. out of all the hostels i've been in, this is the one with amenities closest to my own bed at home. that was the best night of sleep i got on my entire trip.

Overall i was very satisfied with YOHO. I dont have too high of expectations when it comes to hostels - just looking for cheap, clean, central to town, and fun is a bonus. This was all 4. We stayed in a double room, which basically felt like a small dorm room. But it was modern clean and did the job. The staff is friendly and helpful. there is a reasonably priced bar downstairs which serves food too which was nice. As long as you aren't expecting a hotel, I think you will be very satisfied with yoho. We had a car and had to pay €9 to park in a nearby lot overnight which was a bit of a bummer.

I only stayed here for a night but I really enjoyed my time in the hostel. I only had one other person in my dorm room. It was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was shared and did get extremely busy in the morning when everyone was showering. There were long lines for the few showers available. The hostel plays The Sound of Music every evening which is really nice to sit and watch. There's a decent bar/kitchen and a lounge area too but it's not a great place to try and meet people.

Ive stayed in more than a dozen hostels in Europe, and this is the ABSOLUTE BEST. The staff is wonderfully organized, efficient, and helpful; the facilities are clean and charming; the location is superb, and best of all, this is the most fun atmosphere with amazing people! Hanging in the pub at night, complete with happy hour deals, was a great way to meet people, and the Sound of Music screening was a hit each night! Downsides: no wifi in the bedrooms and breakfast (3.5euro) was disappointing. Had it the first day and never again. Used the washing facilities, which were great!

We arrived in Salzburg without a room reservation and luckily the Yoho had a room. The front desk was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and cozy. The bar staff and happy hour was delightful. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
