Summary of traveller reviews

Yoho International Youth Hostel Salzburg offers a fantastic location, close to the train station and city centre. Guests praise the friendly and helpful staff, comfortable beds, and spacious rooms. The nightly screening of 'The Sound of Music' is a popular social activity. Some guests noted that the kitchen facilities are basic, with only microwaves available, and that shower cleanliness could be improved.

Found the bathrooms absolutely disgusting. Mold in the showers everywhere and really needed a deep clean. I was in an 8 bed mixed dorm and was with 1 female and 6 males. This was pretty uncomfortable seeing as there were no curtains and some of the males didn’t leave the room the entire time I was at the hostel. Also the female showers were on the 2nd floor and the room was on the first floor. Overall not a great experience especially for a decently high price.

This hostel did its job. The showers kept backing up and the bathrooms weren’t the cleanest. Good location to the city and buses. Played sound of music each night.

Showers were atrocious but otherwise a great hostel. It felt like a very authentic backpacker hostel where everyone is hanging out and making new friends in the bar at night. I stayed at both here and Meininger hostel in Salzburg and this one is less clean/comfy but way more fun if you are backpacking around Europe.
