Pros: good location (10 minutes from centre), good staff, free internet, good breakfast. Cons: rooms are dirty, bathroom is terrible, towel costs 10 euro, internet only in looby (no wi-fi), computer comes from the end of 90-s, very noisy. Ordinary youth cheap hostel but price is too big.

The hostel is over 10minute walk from old centre. It’s comfortable to walk there along the river in sunny day. If you don’t want to walk, bus stop is 3 minutes away. We took taxi from train station the 1st day, fare was 7 euro. We’re light sleepers so we asked for a quiet room in advance. If not, we’d... More

This place is ideal for a couple of nights. The rooms are student halls during winter so it is basic student accommodation. Rooms are small with old Formica bathrooms. I think you'd call it kitsch. En suite bathroom though so can't complain. The front desk girls are great fun and that scores high. There is a table tennis table in... More

My brother and I stayed here August 18-19 2009. Overall the hostel was nice. Good location, only 10 min walk from city center. There is no internet or TV in the rooms. There are two computers for the whole hostel and you must sign up in 20 minute slots for computer time which are located in the lobby. There was... More

It was very quiet. Slept soundly. The staff at reception were courteous and efficient. Breakfast was buffet style with ample helpings. We are a mature couple, and had... More

The Strawberry Youth Hostel was a great place to stay! The location was extremely good, a 10 minute walk from the main train station and idealyy located near the hub of Salzburg. I travelled with 2 friends and we stayed in an en suite room for 4 days. It was a typical student accomodation room which they fitted in 3... More

I have nothing but good things to say about the Strawberry youth hostel. The price is excellent, the staff are helpful and friendly, the location is great for a stumble back from the beer hall and also only a pleasant ten minute walk along the river into the centre. The rooms are basic but always clean and quiet. The bathrooms... More

Awful!! We asked for a private room and when we arrived we were lied to about a party in our room causing damage, which soon became evident was a lie when another girl working there told us the hostel was simply overbooked. We had to share a room with 2 other English girls who were lovely so we were quite... More
