Fanny-von-Lehnert-Straße 4, 5020 Salzburg

Situated close to the train station, A&O Hostel is a budget-friendly choice for independent travelers visiting Salzburg. Housed in a repurposed factory building, this large hostel offers approximately 600 beds, making it an ideal choice for backpackers and those seeking to keep costs low. During the low season, prices can dip as low as 11 euros per night. However, it’s essential to note that the A&O Hostel has a somewhat industrial feel and can appear impersonal due to its size. Additionally, guests should be prepared to pay extra for sheets, as they are not included in the base rate. Overall, the A&O Hostel is a solid option for travelers on a tight budget who prioritize proximity to the train station.
