Hostel Marmota

Good hostel with comfortable and really clean rooms I recommend for who is looking for hostel in Innsbruck.

Cozy clean place with good service and breakfast

Good staff

We came for 3 nights to explore the city and go up into the mountains and couldn't have been more pleased with the location of this hostel. We stayed in a double ensuite room with mountain-view which was absolutely breathtaking - make sure you book mountain-view so you're not at the back of the building! We couldn't hear the main road despite it being so close, and the number 3 tram (less than 5 minute walk) goes straight into the city. With the Welcome Card you get free public transport during your stay so we used this line every day, super convenient. The staff are so friendly, I had a couple of questions about excursions and our room before we came and my emails were answered within 5 minutes. Breakfast was amazing - cold cuts of different meats and cheeses, hummus, spreads, pastries + breads, as well as fresh fruit and vegetables, boiled eggs, gluten free bread and lactose free butter! Plus juice, warm milk, cereals and loads of teas and coffee options (as well as oat milk). The breakfast room is self-service so you clear your own table, I thought this was a great idea because the table turnover is quick and you can always get a seat. I recommend eating between 7-8.30 so it's not too busy and you get the most variety. Our room was a great size, plenty of space for two people with lots of storage, a desk, big mirror and nice-sized bathroom. The different lamps made it feel cosy at night which we thought was a nice touch. The whole room was immaculately clean, no dust or anything. The double bed was really a big double as well - not two twins pushed together! The only thing that kept us awake a bit was the bed was very creaky, but we loved the view so much and had already unpacked, so didn't think it was worth changing. I haven't stayed in a hostel before so I was pleasantly surprised! I found the whole experience really relaxing and would definitely stay here again.

Located on the outskirts of Innsbruck the hostel is relatively easy to get to. From the central station you just walk around the corner and catch the number 3 tram (heading for Amras). After a few stops you get off at `Pilippine-welser strabe’ and then walk for about ten minutes. Incidentally, if your flight is a morning one, don’t turn up at the hostel in the hope of an early check-in as there is no receptionist until 14.00. So unless you want to sit outside and twiddle your thumbs you would be better off placing your bags in one of the rail station lockers and having a look around the city. Our room was small and basic (no television etc.) and our allocated bathroom was across the corridor. But it was all high spec and, in keeping with the rest of the hostel, spotlessly clean. The receptionists were polite, knowledgeable and helpful (don’t forget to ask for your welcome card which gives you free travel on the trams and buses within the city). Breakfast was more than sufficient to keep us going for most of the day, although some might feel that the choice on offer a bit limited. Should we ever return to Innsbruck we’d be happy to stay at the Marmota again.

It was really nice, but there is no elevator
