Are the bars open to non-guests?

Montagu's ground-floor bar is open to the public — walk in off the street, no hostel booking required. Marmota's common-room bar is technically guest-only but they'll often serve friends of guests if you ask the staff on arrival.

What are the typical bar hours?

Montagu: 18:00-01:00 Thursday-Saturday, 18:00-23:00 Sunday-Wednesday. Marmota: 16:00-22:00 weeknights, 16:00-23:30 weekends. Both close earlier than a city-center bar.

Will bar noise affect my sleep?

At Montagu, rooms on the Höttinger Gasse (street) side can pick up light bass on DJ nights; ask for a mountain-facing room if you're a light sleeper. Marmota's bar is in the common room and the dorms are on a separate floor with thick walls, so noise barely reaches them.

Can I meet people at these bars if I'm travelling solo?

Yes — both are set up for it. Montagu is the better pick for solo travellers because of the pass-through foot traffic and the live-music format. Marmota is more of a long-table communal vibe — slower to warm up but easier to end up in a group conversation over wine.

Best Hostels with a Bar in Innsbruck

Innsbruck's nightlife is small — a few real spots in the Altstadt, Treibhaus and Weekender Club doing the heavy lifting after 22:00, most other places winding down by midnight. Two hostels in town skip the "walk to Maria-Theresien-Straße and hope" loop by running actual bars in-house: Montagu's ground-floor bar with live music and DJ nights, and Marmota's cozier common-room bar with a Wine/Champagne list. Both are adults-friendly social scenes where you can have a real evening without leaving the building.

§ 01 — Traveler's take

“We based five nights at Montagu and never crossed the Innbrücke for drinks. The Thursday live music night drew a mix of hostel guests and Hötting locals, Friday DJ filled up around 23:00, and we'd walk three floors up to bed at 01:00 without a €15 taxi home. A few nights later we tried Marmota on a changeover night; totally different vibe but same idea — wine on the terrace at sunset, then board games in the common room till 22:00.”

§ 03 — Tips

Tips for Choosing a Hostel with Bar in Innsbruck

Tip Nº 01

Montagu's bar programming shifts through the week: Monday-Wednesday is quieter wine/cocktail sessions, Thursday is live music, Friday-Saturday is DJ/nightclub, Sunday winds down by 23:00. Pick your stay to match the energy you want.

Tip Nº 02

Marmota's bar closes at 22:00 weeknights — earlier than most hostel bars in Europe. If you're planning to stay out later, the Altstadt is 25 minutes by bus 4 but the bus stops running at 23:00, so plan a €15 taxi back or don't go out.

Tip Nº 03

Non-guests can walk into Montagu's bar from the street (it's a real neighborhood spot), so you'll meet Hötting locals alongside travellers. Marmota's bar is guests-only, which gives it a smaller, more insular feel — better for introvert-friendly nights.

Tip Nº 04

Both bars accept card payments (Austria is cash-lite for a German-speaking country), and Austrian beer is cheaper than in Innsbruck's Altstadt bars: €4.80 for a Stiegl at Montagu vs €5.50 in town.
