Rooms in this school are available during the summer months. It is a residence for students during the rest of the year. The rooms are quite serviceable; the breakfast is good; the staff in the office are very helpful. Be aware that the washer/dryer service takes a long while. We stumbled into the St Rupert's Festival, which crowded the Old... More

I stayed here for a night last month. Real convenient location in Salzburg. Nice restaurants and sites to visit. Breakfast is just a roll, coffee and watery orange juice, so do not wait for it if you are ready to go. People running the place are very pleasant and helpful

We found the place clean and well kept. The staff were very friendly. The beds were comfortable, but we had difficulty sleeping due to street noise. People seemed to be coming and going all night and the street cleaners and garbage trucks start around 5:30 in the morning. The church bells start ringing at 6am. We went out for breakfast.

I've stayed twice here. Once as a single, I stayed in a dorm-type room with 3 bunk beds (6 total beds) and showers down the hall. The price was the same as a hostel. It was very clean, very quiet, and well run. They offered me a washer/dryer for next to nothing to do a load of dirty clothes. The... More

The room was clean and spacious, and St Sebastian's is in a very beautiful part of the city just a stone's-throw from the Sound of Music gardens. It's a very basic place to stay - no frills, and breakfast is literally just a bread roll with some kind of spread. Overall, I would say it's great value. However, there were... More

I love this place. I stayed there 20 years ago as a young back packer and I brought my daughters there so they could experience what a youth hostel is like. It is very basic, but it is not a 5 star hotel, so a person should not expect one. The hostel is very clean and the location is great.... More

This is a dorm/hostel. It's great for students or travelers not looking for a luxurious stay. It's comfortable, clean and definitely a nice place to stay. It's location is in a beautiful part of the city, not too far from the train station.

If you're looking for a college dorm, this is the place. If you want anything resembling a hotel and the expectations that come with even a basic room, such as soap in the bathroom, look elsewhere. That being said, the location is great and the building has a lot of charm. The rooms have none.

I spent four nights at this establishment. I had a nice big clean room with a window overlooking the street below – a nice change from the small budget hotel rooms I have stayed at in Europe. The attached bathroom was also a nice size. There was an elevator so I did not have to carry my bags up stairs.... More

I stayed a couple of nights here as I wanted an inexpensive single room in Salzburg. The location is good and the price is good. Yes, it is a 300 year old building and some of the common era reflects that in its charm and architecture. My room, however, resembled a 1980s era dorm room...which is fine. I was looking... More
