Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

Each dorm includes their own bathroom with a very comfortable shower. There is a big common kitchen. It's basic but with all the necessary cooking facilities.

Very close to city center, under 20 mins by underground/tram. Currently staying in another a&o hostel in Salzburg and it’s amazing too. Go for a&o hostels in Austria without any fear, you won’t regret it. I wonder other European countries have a&o hostels.
