Great hostel, met some incredible people and had a lot of fun. The bar is very chill unlike in most other hostels, you can sit there with a cup of free tea and play board games or work on your computer, there is nice music playing but not too loud. Stayed in a female room with an ensuite bathroom, and that was just great. Walking distance to basically everywhere.

I liked this place. Everything good, staff helpful and friendly, rooms and shared facilities comfortable, prices good, free coffee, very relaxed and sociable. The only one minor complaint is that the bathroom had a toilet blocked overnight that wasn't dealt with despite staff signing hourly inspections.

Location was nice and close to the train station and to the downtown core. Check in and service was quick and easy, staff are so fun!! They give you a free welcome shot when you check in and provide entertainment and recommendations on what to do/see. Simon is the best :)

The rooms are clean and decent but the individual lights are so bright, what is the point of having them if they're as bright as the room light?? When I was trying to sleep at 12am, the person who had just arrived was unpacking and his individual light was so bright I couldn't sleep. Might as well have switched on the room light for him. They also charge for everything. Lockers, towels, these things shouldn't be paid for. And the pillows are so useless. Flat, no fluff they serve no purpose. Staff were so rude. The lady who checked in me gave me the vibe that she hated her job. She even lied and said there are no elevators when I saw one after. I lugged my suitcase up 2 flights of stairs. She had no smile at all. She was so cold and unfriendly. Not a great welcome. The other gentleman was kind he helped me switch my bed. I travel alot. Not a fan of this hostel chain. Won't stay in it again.

Stayed at YoHo for a night.Everything was fine and ordered. Clean and tidy. People from shared room were nice and not bothered.There was only one fan in the room, which might not be very ideal for Austrian summer. More fans or AC might be considered as an upgrade.There were some signs from their shower rooms and toilets. And that made me wonder what happened to them 😂

Good location and price. We forgot our padlock for the lockers but was happy to find out the lockers use the room keycard to open and close which was so handy!I'm not sure if many other hostels are like this, but the bed was with fresh sheets on top so you have to make your own bed, which wouldn't be a problem but we arrived very late after a long travel day so had to make our beds in the dark at 1am while trying not to (but most likely) annoying roommates.Apart from that, no complaints:)

One of the cleanest and nicest hostel I have stayed in. The location is perfect! 5mins walk away from Mirabellplatz bus stop. The rooms are super clean. The hostel itself is extremely lively and you can expect lots of fun activities planned everyday. You can store your luggage for just 2 euros and head out if you have a late night train/flight. We met a lot of fun people during our stay at YoHo. Would highly recommend if you are looking for some place fun, well connected and easy on your pocket.

This hostel is worth staying in if you're considering Salzburg. It's near the train station and is probably on the cheaper end that you can find. The staff were really nice to help me amend my booking (although it was my mistake), and there is 1 free shot.The breakfast (an additional cost of 8€) was a bit lacking in variety though.

*The staff packed my stuff during my stay to accomodate another guest.I booked a bed in a dorm for a 3-night stay. On the second day around 11 PM, my card key for the room didn’t work, and I went to the front desk. The staff said they gave me the wrong bed in a female dormitory and asked me to check my stuff at the front desk that they had already packed. They told me that there was a mistake by another staff member when I checked in, and he gave me the wrong bed meant for another person. This person has the same name as me, and the staff made a mistake. That’s what they told me. The point is they packed my stuff and opened my locker to make a bed for the other person. They said they couldn’t make her wait for me any longer because she’d been waiting for over 3 hours. They said they tried to reach out to me by phone, but I didn’t pick up, and also sent an email. I didn’t get any call or email, even in the spam folder. I complained that this was wrong, packing my stuff with no notice, even though the other girl was waiting to check in. They could’ve asked her to stay in another room for one night. They opened my locker and put all my things in a plastic bag. I have never experienced anything like this while staying at a hostel. When they asked me to check my stuff to see if everything was there, I requested they give me a key to check the room in case I forgot anything. What they said was to make less noise as it’s already late. I don’t understand the way they handled the situation as this might lead to a bigger issue if I lose something. I felt unsafe at this hostel because the staff touched my belongings without a valid reason. I canceled my stay there for the last night and got a refund. When I checked in, they didn’t check my booking number. I even filled out the form to provide my personal information. The girl with the same name had a check-in day one day after mine. I double-checked with her. This hostel has an issue with its booking system and administration. Another girl in my room had an issue with her booking. She booked a 3-night stay in a female dorm, but the female dorm was overbooked. She was the one who had to change rooms every single day of her stay, checking in and out, packing everything, and putting her suitcase in a luggage room in the basement. No lift to the basement floor, only stairs. My locker in the new room didn’t work, and I had to carry all the important stuff with me.
