The location is perfect as it's away from the city only 20 min by Bus no 46. The view from the Hotel is beautiful. The smoking place or terrace was beautiful. Inside the drawing room was so much of your own home. I specifically like it gathering with all other people whom you never know. The kitchen was clean and maintained in fact the whole hostel was like a clean and maintained house plus beautifully designed. The lady at that house she was so polite and humble Who takes care of the whole property. The room and washroom was clean.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Comfortable bed, comfortable pillow, clean room, great locations. Nice atmosphere, and I felt safe in the hostel. They had curtains on the bed which I really like, gave us a little extra privacy. No big clash of bathroom usage either. Good value for money given how expensive things are in Zurich.

    The hostel is very safe; I stayed in a female-only room. Each room is equipped with lockers that come with keys, and the doors require a passcode for access. They also provide towels, and there is a shared bathroom for both toilets and showers in the same corridor. I was able to leave my bag in the locker for free the day after my stay. Additionally, they offer complimentary drinks and coffee throughout the day, along with a free breakfast each morning.

    As always, youth hostel is a great place to meet great people from around the world and that was my favourite. Regarding the accommodation, i was in a four bed room with 2 bunk beds. As requested, I got a lower bed due to my backache issues. I stayed there two nights, so I don't have much to say. It just went well without any issues, so I'd say, all was great.

    Spacious family room with comfortable beds. Delicous coffee from coffee machine for free during breakfeast time. For a youth hostel quite a decent breakfast buffet. Great location near the lake and close to public transportation. Well working WLAN.

    The accommodation is in a great location, within walking distance of the train station and in the heart of the city centre, close to all amenities. The area is safe and quiet. The capsule is comfortable and spacious, equipped with a mirror, power sockets, coat hangers and a small shelf for storing things you need to keep with you. There is a lot of silence in the women's dormitory and you have coffee and snacks machines.

    Excellent location. Staff were friendly and the accommodation was very clean, safe and comfortable. You can leave your luggage in the storeroom after you check out, but be sure to take note that luggage is not accepted prior to check-in. There are storage spaces at Central Station to utilise in case you missed the notes. Nevertheless, I highly recommend to any savvy and budget conscious traveller this place - Switzerland is very expensive in general, but this 'Friendly Hostel' is the perfect fit for one or even a few nights stay.

    The hostel is in the great location in Zurich, really central and great to visit the city. They are very practically organized with capsule beds and lockers for your bags both spacous and comfortable. We did not spend much time in the room, but it was definatelly worth it for a bit more budget place to stay in Zurich with better access location. Recommendation for solo travellers or shorter stays.
