MEININGER Salzburg City Center

Bit of a stretch calling this a hostel. Wasnt equipped for travellers and was more equipped for overnight buisness trips. The kitchen was one small room for the whole hostel, which was never clean, not well equipped and far too small for the size of the building. The room had no storage for large baggage or any lockers, and there were no communal shower areas. The hostel itself was on the outskirts of salzburg on the back of a shopping mall. Not for backpackers, but for a cheap hotel option.

We really enjoyed our stay here! We stayed in a private room for 2 and were pleasantly surprised with how nice the room was. We even had a wonderful view from our balcony of the hills. Everything was very clean and nicely presented. The staff was very kind and friendly as well. We used the free public transportation pass to get around and it was perfect. A great place to stay especially for a weekend trip!

Great and clean rooms and bathroom. Good location, shops and things to do around and easily accessible transport links for all over the city. Only down side is the shared kitchen. Unfortunately, not all guests cleaned up after themselves and washed up in the kitchen making it a less enjoyable experience. Additionally there weren’t many utensils, there was only one sharp kitchen knife and tiny chopping board for the whole kitchen. Despite this, great stay overall. Thank you!

​El hostel es excelente, especialmente por lo impecable que está todo. La limpieza es de destacar y la seguridad te da una tranquilidad total. Lo mejor de todo es la cocina: está equipadísima, ideal si buscás cocinarte algo bien. En cuanto a la ubicación, aunque no está en pleno centro, es súper cómoda porque podés moverte a todos lados caminando o con el transporte público que pasa cerca. ¡Muy recomendado!

The breakfast is not worth paying for, they were out of everything despite having 2 hours left during the breakfast period. The facilities were gross and the bathroom smelled purely like urine.

We weren’t informed about the free travel when we checked in even though I made it very clear we intended to travel around a lot. Luckily checked my emails. Everything was very clean. My bed was remade one day early and all the contents were taken. I reported it but nobody gave me my items.

Builders were in on our two day visit. Even in the dining area during breakfast & in the hall of our corridor . Staff were nice but one customer who sat in the lounge all day & night was a complete monster. It wasn't a good experience

Sehr viel sauberer als das A&O Hostel am Hauptbahnhof. Hier wird täglich gereinigt! Das Personal und Team ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Vielen Dank an die Reinigungskräfte für die tolle Arbeit. Ich werde nur noch hier her kommen, auch wenn man ein Stück vom Bahnhof weg ist.

even though the place wasn't that bad. I asked for the transportation card and they didn't give it to me, and it's supposed to be compulsory. Also, I had to share the room with a person who snored like he hadn't leant how to breath and since the bed hadn't any type of separation (like a curtain) there was nowhere to scape that. Also, I had never met in a hostel people more disrespectful. They where turning the lights late at night or early in the morning, letting the bathroom door open, etc

One of the cleanest hostels I’ve ever stayed in! Just beware the area is a little far from city center but is quiet.

This is a genuinely subpar hostel it's not special in any way whatsoever but what warrants this bad review is how the staff/rules impacted our stay negatively. We've had two terrible snorers in the room and another girl who literally screamed throughout the night, so it was impossible to get any sleep and when we asked reception to maybe change the room or even PAY to get an upgrade out self's they refused and told us it's literally impossible. Even without this incident it's still bad tho.

Evil dutch girl told me off for telling another person off for outrageously loud snoring - and left her dirty socks on my suitcase

A little bit far from city center but very convenient location with public transportation stops and big supermarket nearby! Well equipped and clean!

Buen lugar y te dan una tarjeta de transporte público para que no pagues al usar el trasporte ! Es de gran utilidad

Thank you,

La habitación estaba ocupada por gente instalada que vivían en el hostel de normal. Uno que venía todos los días a las cuatro o cinco de la mañana en malas condiciones. Una de nuestras camas estaba usada y sucia y la única solución que se nos dio fue darnos sábanas limpias y encargarnos nosotros de todo lo demás. Pedimos cambiar de habitación por el mal ambiente y no se nos dio la opción. Nos tuvimos que cambiar a otra habitación más pequeña teniendo que pagar la diferencia,no bara...

Room was lovely with a nice view and always clean, 1 staff member was rude to us on arrival but the other was kind. a few people sleeping in the stairwells who were kicked out, 40 min walk from city center wasn’t too bad but did often need to tram.

Black mold in the shower but everything else was great

Clean hostel, nice staff but location is no where near the city. It was a 30 min walk from the main train station and a 20 min walk to most attractions

The laundry machine was broken. Luggage storage costs extra and anybody can walk in the room and steal it. Check in isn’t until 3pm and there’s no option for early check in, even though it’s a quiet time of year and the cleaners wake you up at 9am to clean the rooms. It’s just an excuse and laziness. The beds are all squished together with no headboards, so no matter which way you sleep, you’re stuck next to someone’s head or feet. It’s just an unpleasant and uncomfortable place to...
