The location is marvelous, offering an amazing view of the city both day and night. The hostel was clean, and the room was great, with a view of the city and the castle.

To reach the hostel, you'll need to walk up a hill, either by climbing approximately 300 steps (a shortcut) or taking a longer route without stairs. I've heard there is a paid lift available, but I haven't used it myself. Be prepared for a lot of walking, and take care if you have heavy luggage. Alternatively, you can book a taxi to get there, as there is a small road leading up the hill, but no public transport is available. There were only two toilets for six rooms—one for men and one for women. However, there were also two shower rooms. There is also no kitchen as they have their own restaurant but it’s not open throughout the day and they close the restaurant at 8 PM. So you cant cook your own food.

For a relatively cheap stay, it feels luxurious to have such an exeptional view and privacy.

It can be a headache to find the place. The main problem is, the address given in the profile doesn't match the place where Google Maps will guide you. To find the place, i suggest following the map in Booking. We were also disappointed that the room lacked towels.

I was so ecstatic with the location of this stay. Though it was a long hike uphill to get there, the views and serenity was worth it.

The main thing was the other guests unfortunately being extremely anti-social and rude by coming in late at night and slamming doors, screaming down the halls and banging.

Amazing location - absolutely astounding views over the city! The staff we met were friendly and helpful, the beds were comfortable and the black out blind and peaceful location ensured one of the best night’s sleep in ages. A friendly cat greeted us in the morning, the bathrooms were clean and the café/restaurant looked great - but didn’t seem to be open at any point while we were there.

There was no way to make a hot drink, and absolutely no facility for preparing any kind of food. This would have been fine if we could have got a drink in the cafe, but it wasn’t open at any point when we looked. It would be really helpful to have some kind of facility available - even just a kettle that can be used only when the cafe is shut. We arrived in dreadful weather, cold and wet, and couldn’t face walking back down the hill to get a hot drink!

Stadtalm is in an incredible position, high above the city of Salzburg, with 180 degree views over the old city and in to the mountains beyond. It is a popular place for people to come for a drink or coffee and serves good food, in an outdoor seating area. The rooms seem to have been recently refurbished and were very clean. Of course, there are no en suites, so expect to walk a few yards to the shared showers/toilets. The internet worked well. There are no TV's, but you get a 5* view, better than the top hotel in Salzburg instead! There are a lot of steps (320 I think) to get to the Stadtalm, but you can also use the lift to the modern art gallery (charge) and then there is a 300 metre quite easy walk with no steps.

You don't book Stadtalm if you want a luxury en-suite room with lots of facilities. You go there for superb views and staying in the battlements of an old castle! The restaurant stops serving food at 6.00 p.m. and drinks at 7.00 p.m. in the summer, so plan ahead, as it is a long, steep walk to Spar for a snack, or to go to a city restaurant!

Great views and surrounding area on the hill to explore. Can get down to the old town quickly by walking down the stairs/pathway.

The only things we wished were improved were the showers (have to keep pressing the button rather than getting continuous water flow), and some sound proofing so that noise from the restaurant doesn’t travel so easily. Our first night was a Saturday, and so the restaurant was quite noisy from our room on the first floor. The second night was a Sunday so the restaurant was quiet as was shut.

Location is fantastic but to reach there is a challenge. This place is close to most of the popular things in Salzburg. View is beautiful. But be prepared to climb about 400 steps (one way) which is not difficult if you have no luggage. Else, just take taxi and it hits you right at the door. Staff is available only during day time and they are sweet. Special mention to Alex, who is really kind and helpful.

Bunker room is really steep to climb specially if you have heavy luggage. Wi-Fi is also pretty weak up there. Avoid reaching there after sun down , as it may be difficult to figure out the place and other logistics.

View outstanding, but of course a hike to earn it! Once you get used to those stairs it goes more quickly but the first hike up with bags was grueling. Clean clean clean, very safe feeling place, youth hostel vibe (but super clean!)

The system of finding your key with the code is lamentable - sign said to use 4-digit code, but code from booking.com was not correct. Finally realized there was a note with our name with another code, which is silly and not secure and also difficult to read. Just email us a code, secure, direct! It felt exactly like an escape room, but trying to figure out how to get IN instead of out. I can't even remember what finally worked... Same thing happened to next guest after us, whom we were able to help at midnight... It worked out, but seemed unnecessarily complicated.

We loved our stay here. We had read all the reviews so knew to get the lift up with our bags. It was worth the bit of a walk at the top as the views were spectacular. Was worth every penny/euro spent! We had also realised they did food and drink so we stayed up on the hill the first night and relaxed watching the sun dip down. Was magical. The food was great too and the staff were really friendly. I’ve included a photo of where the lift is as took us a little while to find it-was worth the €5 up and down as we had heavy bags!

Don’t bother with the breakfast as was €8.50 each and was basic-one small drink, slice of cheese, ham and some bread. Lots of lovely cafes at the bottom of the hill!

The view, vicinity and ambience were incredible. Luckily knew about the 320 steps up to get there (from other reviews) though it took awhile to find them and 1/2 of our party was too weary from earlier walking to be much impressed. Did not see any staff (it was nearly nighttime when we arrived) but friendly email made key code easy. Never did find where the alleged lift was, but stairs were easier on way down; then got lost in maze of buildings at the bottom… Unique and memorable place to stay. Probably the oldest building though with facilities basic but comfortable, all joy and no sacrifice.

Wifi password worked but gave no internet. Would have liked a sitting room/ breakfast area but did not find if there was one. Could have better directions to get there. Could only stay one night.
