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.

Beware: some of the rooms seem to sell what is essentially a double bed as 2 separate “bunks” - I assume these are the 4 bed en suites (as the other “beds” in the room are 2 bunk beds). Having to share a bed with a stranger is diabolical. Never seen a hostel like it. Go elsewhere, check for a bed in an 8 bed dorm (not 100% sure if these don’t have the double bed situation) or ask specifically for a bunk bed for some privacy and safety.

Good hostel. Very well priced. Only dislike was the fact they put a 19 year old girl right next to a 30 year old man. - they have two beds pushed up right next to each-other making a double bed with separate sheets. I asked to change beds but still wouldn’t recommend a mixed room at this hostel as it’s not very social and a lot of older people
