Hostels in Upper Austria, Austria

I stayed here when I visited Hallstatt. It's just one stop from Hallstatt station, and since it was winter, it was really tough dragging our luggage through the snowy path to the accommodation. Check-in after 3 PM involved entering a code into a box to the right of the main entrance to get the key. The room was clean, and the shower worked fine, but the hairdryer was almost all cold air, so it took ages to dry my hair, which was a real hassle. Breakfast was a simple buffet style, and I loved the wide variety of teas. There were also vegetables and fruits, and the ham was absolutely delicious, probably because there's a butcher shop next door. Overall, the staff were friendly, and even the staff at the bakery next door were kind. The location makes getting around a bit challenging, so I'd recommend staying here in the summer.

This hostel exceeded my expectations. It's located in the small town of Bad Goisern, conveniently situated about a 5-minute walk from the Bad Mitte bus station and a 10-minute walk from the train station. There are several supermarkets nearby. Restaurants in town generally close early, so be mindful of the time, but there's a Turkish kebab shop about a 1-minute walk from the hostel that serves large, delicious portions and stays open late – a great option if you need it. Check-in at the hostel is simple and takes place on the second floor. Before you check in, the elderly owner will explain the transportation and attractions in the lake district. There's one private bathroom, a communal kitchen/lounge area, and another larger bathroom. The room was clean and tidy, and the bedding was very comfortable. The room had heating, so it wasn't cold. The common area provides a shoe dryer, which is incredibly useful during the rainy season in the lake district. All the fellow travelers I met were lovely; we could arrange to explore together and chat. I was very satisfied with this solo trip to Austria.☺️
