A&o Graz Hauptbahnhof, hostel in Graz
The a&o Graz Hauptbahnhof is a hostel located directly beside the main train station in Graz, offering single, double, family, and shared dorm rooms. Each room has its own bathroom, and common areas include a rooftop terrace bar with city views, TV lounges, billiards, and a 24-hour reception desk.
The hostel opened in early 2013, built on land that was previously a goods station area. The development of the neighborhood around the railway reflects Graz's shift from a traditional industrial site into a modern transit and visitor center.
The name refers to its location next to the main train station, the city's primary transit hub. The building sits within a lively quarter where travelers from many places pass through daily, making it a natural meeting point for visitors.
The hostel sits about 100 meters from the station, making arrival and departure quick and allowing easy exploration of the city on foot or by bike. Reception is staffed 24 hours a day, and dogs are welcome in rooms for a small fee.
The rooftop area with the Skybar offers a rare vantage point over Graz from the station quarter, a place travelers usually just pass through without pausing. From this height, guests can see how the traditional city core and modern neighborhoods connect, showing how Graz has grown over time.
