Yoho - International Youth Hostel

Facilities were very nice, from rooms to lockers to bathrooms and a very good location as well!

The hostel is pretty famous and huge probably 100s of travelers in there. I felt, since it's so big, it is not possible for the hostel staffs to interact much with the residents. They keep pretty much into themselves. So it kinda felt like a hotel to be honest. They are nice people, but I think what it lacked was more interaction with the residents. Also such a big hostel should have an option of cooking food. They have all facilities but, you can't cook in there. Salzburg is an expensive city and eating out every time is not an option. Free breakfast was very very basic, a paid breakfast is also available. Overall felt the hostel was too commercialized.

The bar was nice, the food was also nice. There are free breakfast (toast and coffee) as a choice.

In my room (4-female dorm) on the top floor the bunk bed are placed ridiculously so it is quite impossible get onto the upper bunk. It was placed so near the sloped ceiling and whenever you try to climb the ceiling hits your head. The room is big enough for a better placement of the beds. The room was also very hot without air-conditioning, and with only one window (so the wind doesn't flow in). There was a fan provided but as there are only four plugs on the wall (one plug for each bed, far away from the bed), no one is willing to sacrifice their plug for the fan. It was so hot during my stay that I cannot sleep well, and all sheets were soaking in sweat.
