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.

    This is the best hostel I have been so far. Room is very spacious. It’s so clean and very new. Great location. 10 mins walk to main railway station and 3 mins walk to underground U6 line. 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.
