About

With its modern and functional rooms the a&o Salzburg Hauptbahnhof is located only 500 m from the central station. Vibrant, cosmopolitan, international – that’s what a&o stands for. In our hotels the world comes together and our young and friendly staff is 365 days a year 24 hours there for you, to ensure an enjoyable stay and peaceful nights. Also the lobby bar offers drinks and snacks during day and night.

The Salzburger Mozartkugel café is far from Salzburg’s only attraction – there is a reason the city boasts world cultural heritage town status; be it the Hohensalzburg Castle accessed via a funicular and offering a fantastic view over Salzburg, or Getreidegasse, home to Mozart's Birthplace, there is something for everyone here. The a&o Hostel Salzburg Hauptbahnhof is located close to the main train station, making it an ideal base for exploring Salzburg's Old Town, with its romantic narrow streets.

The a&o Salzburg Hauptbahnhof offers our guest every kind of rooms; single, double and family rooms in the hotel part with en-suite shower and WC as well as TV, or shared rooms for four to six people with en-suite bathroom and comfortable bunk beds. There is free Wi-Fi in the entire a&o for all guests.

Summary of traveller reviews

a&o Salzburg Hauptbahnhof offers a convenient location near the train station, making it ideal for travellers needing easy transport links. While rooms are generally clean, some guests find them a bit small and stuffy, especially during warmer months due to a lack of air conditioning. The hostel is more hotel-like, with limited social atmosphere, and some guests mention issues with noise and cleanliness in communal areas like the kitchen.

Really lovely place. Staff were kind and check in was smooth. Beds are really comfy, minus the making it yourself part which is not fun on a top bunk. So close to the train station, little bit of a walk from town but it’s not too bad and can easily catch PT. No AC in the dorm but it wasn’t too bad with the windows open. Kitchen was pretty good but small.

can use an app to do laundry and reserve machines. en suite bathroom to ladies 8 bed dorm was nice and clean. bunks are a little weird, especially the top bunks and the double bed in the middle of the room. but comfy place to sleep, located close to the main train station and about a 30 minute walk to the old town area. felt a little unsafe with the fact anyone could just walk in and there are not enough lockers provided for the amount of beds in the room.

Great hostel but a very small kitchen for too many people.
