Montagu Bed & Beers

Montagu Bed & Beers is a budget hostel with its own bar at Höttinger Gasse 7, in the Hötting quarter on the north bank of the Inn in Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria. Höttinger Gasse is a lively street of cafes, small shops and pubs that leads toward the Inn bridge and the Altstadt, so the Goldenes Dachl, the Hofburg and the old-town lanes are a short walk across the river. The Nordkette cable car, reached via the Hungerburgbahn funicular, is also nearby, and the street is a known stretch for student and local nightlife. The hostel's name reflects its social concept, combining dormitory accommodation with a bar where guests and locals mix. Rooms are offered as Dormitory Beds and Private Rooms, with prices of roughly €30 to €80 for a double room depending on the season, placing the property among the cheapest in the central area. Listed amenities include the bar, Wi-Fi, a shared kitchen and a common room. There is no restaurant, spa or fitness area, so meals are self-catered or taken in the surrounding Höttinger Gasse eateries and Tyrolean inns. The service character is informal and backpacker-oriented, suited to solo travellers, groups of friends, ski and snowboard visitors on tight budgets and cyclists. Light sleepers should note that a hostel with a bar on a lively street can be noisy in the evening, and a private room away from the street may be more restful. Winter visitors use the hostel as a base for the Nordkette and the Innsbruck ski pass areas, while summer guests head for hiking trails above Hötting and the Inn cycle path. Rates climb during ski weeks, Christmas markets and summer peaks, so booking ahead is advisable, particularly for private rooms and for weekend stays when dorm beds sell out first.
