Das Einchecken ins Hostel dauert jedes Mal viel zu lange, da man lange warten muss. Eine Person an der Reception ist einfach zu wenig, bei einem grossen Andrang. Ansonsten ist das Hostel top.

It was ... ok ...
The room was very basic, but clean and the hostel is within walking distance from the beautiful old center of Salzburg (approx. 20 minutes). In the immediate area of the hostel however, there is not much to do or visit. Unfortunately, as it turned out, the room we had booked (with a queen size bed) didn't exist (the Muffin hostel only has rooms with single beds), so that was disappointing for a married couple like us. Also (and I realize that Salzburg is thé most expensive city in Austria), ultimately, we felt the room was overpriced for what it offered. Still, for a group of friends, this hostel could be a good enough option.

We got caught in Salzburg without reservations and the moderately-priced hotels were all booked. This type of lodging is not our typical style so I don't want to be unfair in this review. The property was very basic. It is in a residential neighborhood with a parking lot that was too small. Local restaurants and grocery markets are a bit of a walk and close early in the evenings. The triple room was way too small for the amount of furniture - leaving no floor space. Bed linens provided were appropriate but the towels were essentially rags. There is a shortage of hair dryers. The walk into the old city was pleasant and felt safe (we were there in 20 minutes).

Precio alto en relación a la calidad
Ubicado a unos 25 mins a pie del centro. Atención de las chicas de recepción correcta. Ahora bien, las toallas hay que pedirlas en recepción, y en nuestro caso nos hemos tenido que confirmar con una toalla de mano para dos noches, ya que nos les quedaban de ducha... El secador hay que pedirlo también en recepción. En nuestro caso, hemos desistido tras cinco intentos en diferentes ocasiones, imagino que tienen uno o dos para todos los huéspedes... Baño minúsculo tipo caravana y habitaciones con camas individuales. Precio bastante exagerado para lo que realmente ofrecen...

Första vistelsen på hostel
Tog lite tid att checka in trots att vi fyllt i info över nätet innan. Rummet var stort och sängarna helt okej. Stor trädgård där man kunde sitta och njuta om man ville. Bara en kort promenad på 15 min till centrum om man vill gå. Trevlig personal. Vår första vistelse på hostel och det var över förväntan.

Das Hostel ist sauber, das Team nett. Jedoch ist es sehr laut, die Zimmer sehr hellhörig. Ein Ausschlafen ist nicht möglich, jedes Türenknallen ist zu hören. Wifi im Zimmer hat nicht funktioniert.

These are college dorms.
This hostel is used as college dorm rooms when Salzburg university is in session. So if you expect the same type of room you had in college, you will be pleased.

Quite a high price for a dormitory room but probably one of the cheapest options in Salzburg. You need to pay in cash on site but hostel did not release hold of authorization made during booking on my credit card. I tried to contact them but no reply. So I will have to wait a month for hold to be automatically dropped.
Relative teure Unterkunft im beengten Mehrbettzimm
Hotel ist ein im Sommer zweckentfremdetes Studentenheim. Im Einzelzimmer wird ein Doppelbett dazugestellt. Wenig Platzbund relativ teuer dafür.

Good stay at Muffin Hostel
It was a cheap and nice hostel. It is not too far by walk from the castle. We had a great stay there. Even if it is an hostel there is toilet in the room.

relatively a clean hostel. But in a quite remote neighbourhood. Since Salzburg is a small city it doesn't take long to get to city center though. recommended!
