Stadtalm Naturfreundehaus Reviews

THE VIEW IS AMAZING! The fact that there is no workers there at night/ no 24hr service is a little frighting, same with the front door being unlocked at night.

The hostel is very cosy and the view is amazing, however there are some improvements that could be made. The staff seem to be rather uninterested in their job, it leaves a bad impression. The bed linen ought to be changed, it feels and looks very worn. The directions to the hotel need to be more detailed, there is no way of figuring out where to go from what is provided. Perhaps a warning about the lack of paved roads up at the Monschberg, I had a lot of fun dragging my suitcase up the gravel.

The hostel is located on the top of a mountain behind the old city, so that there are only two ways to get to it: You can either pay 2 euros per use of the Modern art museum`s elevator, or you can go around the mountain and climb 15 min of stairs. There`s no reception there were 7 people in a 6 bed room broken lockers and beds occupying lots of space in an already small room restaurant closes at 9pm (remember you`re isolated) breakfast ended 15 minutes after it started, for lack of food.

There is a party on the second day of my day; it lasted until 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning with terribly loud music and people. Wi-Fi never worked. No place to sit or have a cup of drink in the hostel. Very crowded. In addition, I have paid 3.8 Euros through credit card for my booking in advance, which means I still have to pay 34.2 Euros for two nights stay (19 euros per night, 38 euros in total), but the people in the hostel asked me to pay 38 instead of 34.2 !!! It just sucked.

Location is both good and bad. Amazing view but really hard to get to. Location instructions were less than useful,.
