Insider Tip

Yoho International Youth Hostel Salzburg

This hostel has been around for a while and it has a good reputation. It's a popular and affordable place to stay. You'll meet guests of all types, from backpackers to students or families, and everyone is welcoming and respectful.

If you want to socialize, head to the bar for happy hour and you're sure to make some friends. If you're in the mood to reminisce about The Sound of Music you can enjoy the nightly viewing of the movie.

The Facilities

This hostel has comfortable dorm rooms that are spread out over three floors. They range in size and sleep either four, six, or eight people. Both co-ed and female only rooms are available as are rooms with en-suite bathrooms or shared bathrooms. Rooms are priced according to size and style.

The beds are comfortable and the rooms stay fairly quiet at night. Each bed has a large locker nearby that can be opened with your keycard. The lockers are surprisingly large and can usually fit most of your belongings.

Private Rooms

If you want some space to yourself, there are private rooms available that are either twins, doubles, or rooms that sleep three. The three person room has a bunk bed with a single bunk on top and a double bed below. Some rooms have en-suite bathrooms or showers. The rooms are basic but comfortable. They have simple furnishings and good lighting.

Bathrooms

This hostel has rooms that are either en-suite or shared bathrooms. The rooms are spread out over three floors and there is a small bathroom that's shared by each floor. The showers are modern and nice and the bathrooms are kept clean. Like any hostel, it's a good idea to bring shower shoes. Conveniently, each shower also has its own hair dryer.

Bar

The Yoho Bar and Restaurant is open in the morning for breakfast and then opens again at six for dinner and happy hour. It usually stays open and lively fairly for a while. Happy hour at the bar is the best place to socialize and meet other travelers. The dinner options they serve are simple but good and reasonably priced and they usually include a complimentary salad..

The Location

What's Nearby?

This hostel is in a convenient location in Salzburg, accessible from both the train station and Altstadt. If you've come to Salzburg to soak up The Sound of Music memories, you'll appreciate that it's only a couple minute's walk from the movie's famous steps (think Do-Re-Mi). It's also a few minutes from Mirabell Palace and less than fifteen minutes from Mozarteum. You can also reach Kapuzinerberg & Capuchin Monastery in less than a ten minute walk. The surrounding neighborhood has a few good restaurants if you'd like to grab something to eat.

Nearby Transportation

This hostel is conveniently just a ten minute walk from the city's main train station. It's also about 2.5 miles from the nearest airport, which is Salzburg W. A. Mozart Airport.

Activities

If you want to fully immerse yourself in The Sound of Music, make sure you catch a viewing of the movie, which the hostel shows every day. It's a popular activity, and you definitely won't be the only one enjoying the classic.

If you're interested in a slightly less wholesome experience, head to the bar for Happy Hour. This is the best place to meet other travelers and grab some cheap drinks or food. The bar opens every day at six and it's usually a fun place to hang out.
