Featuring a garden, shared lounge and free WiFi, Monteurzimmer Linz is located in Linz, 1.5 km from Casino Linz and 1.7 km from Design Center Linz. The property is close to Ars Electronica Center, Linz Castle and New Cathedral. Situated in the Innere Stadt district, the hostel is within 39 km of Wels Exhibition Centre.

The photos speak for themselves so what you see is what you get. Simple, "monastic" comfort, cleanliness is passable, functional without any particular charm. The staff is friendly - when they are there. Don't expect the Taj Mahal. For those who appreciate the bare essentials or who simply want to have a roof over their head to sleep not far from the city center.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Friendly staff and great location! There was an option to rent a bicycle for cheap. That added an extra to my trip.

    Breakfast was excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. My nephew and I requested single rooms and were given two 4-person rooms to ourselves. The extra touch, especially for a youth hostel - our beds were made and towels laid out.

    It is a very clean and properly maintained youth hostel, that provides the bare necessities and excellent breakfast. I found it suitable for a group of people who travel and need a one night stop on the way.

    The room was very quiet/very good isolated. I haven't expected that in the youth hostel and we've been positevely surprised. The room was also bigger than expected. Shower and WC were separately. The breakfast was good for this price. Nothing warm (no eggs, crêpes, etc.), but rich enough to start a day.

    Although advertised on Booking.com the establishment has no resembelance to a hotel, and is fully a youth hostel, which totally equates to university student accommodation. Very clean but sparsely furnished and functional rather than any hint of luxury. Quiet suburban location. Bus routes to centre two minutes walk away, also a 'Spar' shop and a cafe. Good WiFi and excellent shower. T.V (not used). Friendly and helpful reception lady. Excellent buffet breakfast.

    It was claimed to be a 3 star hotel, but to my opinion it is less- more like an ungraded youth hostel. But for 1 night it was good enough.
