We got caught in Salzburg without reservations and the moderately-priced hotels were all booked. This type of lodging is not our typical style so I don't want to be unfair in this review. The property was very basic. It is in a residential neighborhood with a parking lot that was too small. Local restaurants and grocery markets are a bit of a walk and close early in the evenings. The triple room was way too small for the amount of furniture - leaving no floor space. Bed linens provided were appropriate but the towels were essentially rags. There is a shortage of hair dryers. The walk into the old city was pleasant and felt safe (we were there in 20 minutes).

These are college dorms.

This hostel is used as college dorm rooms when Salzburg university is in session. So if you expect the same type of room you had in college, you will be pleased.

Quite a high price for a dormitory room but probably one of the cheapest options in Salzburg. You need to pay in cash on site but hostel did not release hold of authorization made during booking on my credit card. I tried to contact them but no reply. So I will have to wait a month for hold to be automatically dropped.

Not bad for the price

This hostel has the basics and is a short walk in to town. Pretty good lodging for the price. In addition, they have plenty of parking. One downfall is that they only accept cash. Your hotels.com booking only reserves the room.

It was ... ok ...

The room was very basic, but clean and the hostel is within walking distance from the beautiful old center of Salzburg (approx. 20 minutes). In the immediate area of the hostel however, there is not much to do or visit. Unfortunately, as it turned out, the room we had booked (with a queen size bed) didn't exist (the Muffin hostel only has rooms with single beds), so that was disappointing for a married couple like us. Also (and I realize that Salzburg is thé most expensive city in Austria), ultimately, we felt the room was overpriced for what it offered. Still, for a group of friends, this hostel could be a good enough option.

Precio alto en relación a la calidad

Ubicado a unos 25 mins a pie del centro. Atención de las chicas de recepción correcta. Ahora bien, las toallas hay que pedirlas en recepción, y en nuestro caso nos hemos tenido que confirmar con una toalla de mano para dos noches, ya que nos les quedaban de ducha... El secador hay que pedirlo también en recepción. En nuestro caso, hemos desistido tras cinco intentos en diferentes ocasiones, imagino que tienen uno o dos para todos los huéspedes... Baño minúsculo tipo caravana y habitaciones con camas individuales. Precio bastante exagerado para lo que realmente ofrecen...

Första vistelsen på hostel

Tog lite tid att checka in trots att vi fyllt i info över nätet innan. Rummet var stort och sängarna helt okej. Stor trädgård där man kunde sitta och njuta om man ville. Bara en kort promenad på 15 min till centrum om man vill gå. Trevlig personal. Vår första vistelse på hostel och det var över förväntan.

호텔이 아닌 호스텔이라는 점에 유의하시기 바랍니다. 잘츠부르크 중앙역에서 나와 1번 버스를 타고 15분 정도 가서 내려서는 다시 10분 정도 걸으셔야 합니다. 거리가 조금 떨어져 있는 것을 제외하면 전체적으로 만족했고, 층 마다 주방과 조리도구가 갖춰져 있기 때문에 요리를 해서 드실 수 있다는 장점이 있습니다.

Detta är ett ungdomshotell som ser ut som skola. Rummen ser ut som studentlyor. Gemensamt kök i korridoren. Folk glömmer stänga dörren till korridoren när de lagar mat! Hostellet tar inte kort utan betalningen ska vara kontant.

Nette Unterkunft in Stadtnähe

Wenn man sich für ein Hostel entscheidet weiß man, was man erwarten kann. Der Preis ist ok, das Zimmer ausreichend und sauber! Frühstück passt auch. Natürlich nicht mit einem 3Sternehotel zu vergleichen - aber dann bitte kein Hostel buchen. Die Angestellten sind sehr freundlich und bemüht, sprechen aber großteils nur Englisch! Alles in allem eine tolle Unterkunft für einen Kurzurlaub in der Stadt

Un orrimo ostello non un albergo.

Se vi aspettate dal Muffin un albergo a quattro stelle, lasciate perdere. E' un ostello studentesco a tutti gli effetti, a mio parere tra i più graziosi in cui sia mai stato. Il personale, tutti giovani studenti, sono simpatici e disponibili. La stanza ha un mobili nuovi tipo ikea ed è pulita. Certo, nel bagno mancano asciugamani, phon e saponette, ma pocp importa, basta organizzarsi. In compenso la struttura è immersa nel verde, l'aria è profumata e si raggiunge il centro di Salisburgo in 5/6 minuti di buon passo attraversando un boschetto. Ripeto, vi troverete bene se non le vostre aspettative non sono eccessive. Poi vedersi circondati da ragazzi di tutto il mondo, giovani, allegri e il più delle volte educati, è sempre un piacere e fa tornare giovani. Consigliato a persone carine senza la puzza sotto il naso.

Ostello per chi sa adattarsi

l'esperienza in generale preferirei non ripeterla. In particolare non ci è piaciuto: * ubicazione scomoda e lontana dal centro * personale freddo e con scarsa conoscenza lingua italiana (quasi nulla) * la struttura pare ricavata (riciclandola) da una scuola. L'aspetto è di un dormitorio/ospedale davvero poco accogliente. * il bagno è costituito da una cella di plastica piccola posizionata all'interno della camera * gli asciugamani sono disponibili solo su richiesta * WiFi con segnale scarso e fruibile solo nella reception * qualità del sonno scarsa sia con riferimento ai letti sia per l'inquinamento acustico provocato dal continuo andirivieni di gente a tutte le ore (e di tutte le nazionalità) manco fosse un porto di mare * impossibile pagamento con carta di credito o bancomat, accettano solo contanti * target consigliati per questa struttura: COMPAGNIE DI RAGAZZOTTI SENZA ALCUNA PRETESA.

Billigste overnatning er for dyr til niveauet

Hvis man går efter et billigt alternativ til hotelovernatning i Salzburgs centrum, så skal man vælge Muffin Hostel i gåafstand til centrum. Og med et billigt alternativ bør man ikke forvente et højt niveau. Men kvalitetsniveauet er meget lavere end forventningen, så det koster stadig for mange penge. Bemærk i øvrigt, at man ikke umiddelbart kan betale med kreditkort.

Nothing for princes and princesses..

It was a nice place to stay for a night or two but it is not a normal hotel the way you're expecting it to be. It felt like a students dormitory without the students. The staff was very friendly, the rooms were clean. The kitchen was a little mess but it's okay. The hostel was quite easy to find. It's not far from the old town but rather far from the central station. One big minus - we didn't get the laundry when we arrived, so we couldn't make any siesta nor take a shower because we were told that we get the towels etc. there. We only got it at night.
