Friendly youth hostel in a historic building in Feldkirch, with shared kitchen, garden and free parking for budget travellers.
Housed in the former “Siechenhaus”, a historic Feldkirch building that opened as a youth hostel in 1985, this member of the Junge Hotels Austria network welcomes solo travellers, families, school groups and backpackers alike. It offers 85 beds spread across simple, functional rooms and dorms. Guests can use a shared kitchen to cook their own meals, plus a games room, a garden with a barbecue area and a self-service laundry. Free Wi-Fi covers the whole building, and wheelchair-accessible rooms are available. An on-site bar and restaurant round out the offer. The atmosphere is simple and sociable, geared towards travellers meeting each other rather than luxury, with a bus stop right at the door and Feldkirch train station close by.
The hostel is located in Feldkirch, a medieval town in Austria's Vorarlberg region close to the Liechtenstein and Swiss borders, with a bus stop right outside. Feldkirch train station is just a short walk away, making it easy to reach Vaduz or Buchs. The Obere Burg and Biedermannhaus are about 5 km away. The nearest airport, St. Gallen-Altenrhein, is 26 km from the hostel. Feldkirch's medieval old town, with its cobbled lanes and Schattenburg Castle, can be reached on foot.
