YoHo Youth Hostel

The staff here were super friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The biggest downside was the bathrooms — they were quite dirty, but honestly that seemed more due to the inconsiderate guests rather than the hostel itself. With only two toilets available, it can be a bit inconvenient, but manageable. The location isn’t the absolute best, but it’s easy enough to get around since several bus lines stop nearby. One nice perk is that the longer you stay, the more benefits you get — after 2 nights, transportation is free, and after 3 nights you also get free museum entries. Towels are available for rent for just 1 euro. They also show The Sound of Music every night, which is a nice touch. Tip for Salzburg: If you’ve been traveling a while and are over the usual tourist activities, definitely check out the street performers and musicians — Salzburg has a great local scene. There’s also a free film festival during certain times of the year, with views of the castle from the main square, plus theater shows. Don’t miss watching the sunset from one of the city’s bridges — it’s beautiful. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend staying more than two nights; you can easily see all the major sights in a day if you walk and use public transport. And a friendly reminder: please take care of the hostel’s common areas and be respectful of your roommates!

This place was great. Lots of amenities, clean, and very conveniently located. Walking distance to downtown area of Salzburg. They give you a free shot during your stay, it was probably the tastiest shot I've ever had. I would definitely stay here again.

I stayed 3 nights at YoHo Salzburg and it was convenient to get to after arriving on the night train from Paris. The free transport card invited me to discover areas nearby (beautiful lake in Strobl) Regarding the accommodation, I was in a 6bed female dorm with bathroom and it was clean and convenient. Location is a bit further away from the old Town but then it was a very good excuse to stop by the excellent Ratio cafe on the way every morning ;) The kitchen common area was useful, lacking cutlery every morning as it was used for their breakfast. Microwaves were a bit dirty as well but not too bad. To conclude I had a nice stay and would stay there again for budget accommodation.

Excellent hostel not far from the old town of Salzburg, with exceptional staff and a very nice, social atmosphere. A great place for young solo travellers to meet people and to plan for the variety of hiking trails that are available in the surrounding area with your newfound friends. The sound of music movie night is an amazing addition to the experience, allowing you to experience the film with newfound friends.

Lovely hostel in Salzburg. The staff were super friendly and helpful, which made the stay even better. Nice common areas to relax and a kitchen available for guests — just keep in mind it’s quite basic: no stove or oven, only a microwave. Overall, a great place to stay!

The rooms were really clean and spacious. Bathrooms were mostly clean. The staff didn’t tell us all the infos, like the breakfast costing extra, we were under the impression in would be included with our booking. The location is fantastic, only takes 10 min to walk into town.

It was a nice experience, staff is superbly good, i wish it had a coocking area as well, and also what made me feel really good is the free tea, coffee and milk available anytime. But rooms could be a little more better,

Like any typical hostel, however I marked it down by one star as I visited when it was 31 degrees and there was only a two fans for the room. It was almost unbearably hot but I know it was a heatwave so not normal for it to be that hot. Nevertheless I couldn’t sleep at all due to the heat. The window was open but was not sufficient to cool the room down. Facilities were decent, you don’t need a lock as room key given opens your assigned locker. Showers were adequate and mostly clean. I only stayed one night

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!
