Youth Hostel Fritz Prior Schwedenhaus Reviews

Youth Hostel Fritz Prior Schwedenhaus is a well-located hostel for those wishing to be close to the Old Town as well as the nature surrounding Innsbruck. The check-in is simple, but it is worth noting the check-in time as it is later than usual (5 p.m.). The hostel is very accommodating and offers good value for money.

The Location

This hostel is easily reached from the bus station as well as the airport and the train station. The instructions are clear, and the walk between the bus/train station and the hostel is reasonable. The hostel is located adjacent to the beautiful river and only a seven-minute walk to the Old Town where there are supermarket shops and fashion stores. The centre of the Old Town is very close from there. There is a spacious and friendly park located right next to the hostel also (and a few more on the walk to the Old Town).

Rooms and Bathrooms

There are several dorm rooms available in different sizes. The four-bed, shared dorm room is made up of two bunk beds, each with a power point. The power points and shelf are located next to the bottom bunk bed. The rooms are clean and tidy, and they provide sufficient locker space as well as linen (and towel for hire if required). The bathroom is small but reasonable; it is a toilet and shower in the same room, located inside the dorm room. There is a large desk and few chairs in the dorm room also. There is also a window that is openable to the outside, although the room maintains an acceptable temperature due to the air conditioning system. There are sweets in the room on arrival as a welcoming gift.

Common Spaces

There is a lounge/couch at reception and kitchen on upper floor, however, the kitchen is not available for guests to use. The reception space is welcoming, but only attended for some hours during the day. There are no other common areas in the hostel.

Summary

This is a decent hostel recommended for both solo and groups of travelers. Although there is not much opportunity for travelers to mingle and meet one another due to arrangement of common areas, it is still a safe and comfortable place. The facilities provided here allow guests an easy stay. The included breakfast is well organised and reasonable.
