Hostel is located inside a historic building about 20 mins walk from the town centre. Our room was spacious with a double, a single and a bunk bed. Breakfast was very nice with some Swiss specialties (ovomaltine ;-)! The receptionist and the other staff were friendly and helpful.

not too much storage space inside the rooms hostel / room felt cold on a rainy summer day => bring warm socks/ slippers!

Location was amazing, easy to get to from train station, straight onto a regular bus service which stops outside and also goes onto the waterfalls. Really friendly check in, breakfast was decent. Really great environment

Only thing really was the sheets weren’t the most pleasant. Absolutely clean but kinda towelling and just not overly pleasant on the skin but nothing that world put me off staying there again. Was lovely.

The hostel is extremely clean and the staff is very helpful and friendly. It is quiet at night and it is about a 10-minute walk to the station. If you go to ZĂĽrich airport, this hostel is a good alternative to the ZĂĽrich hostels.

The Wifi only worked in the centre of the hostel, not outside nor in the upper floors.

The vibe, the building, the location, the great organisation and communication and the fact they can provide dinner

Very wet floor in the shared bathroom after lots of kids. No problem with the children though :) They need more sockets or charging points in the dorms

There were no issues. It’s a quiet hostel with spacious grounds. Ideal for Families with small children and cyclists. Good storage for bicycles. Reception was particularly friendly.

The 8 bed bunkroom with only one power point. As it was pretty warm during the night a pedestal fan would have been appreciated.

The staff was really helpful and full of empathy. I had a really long and difficult trip and arrived after 'hours'. Debora had kept dinner that I had ordered but by the time I arrived I just couldn't do with dinner. They didn't charge me with it the day after and were really nice with it. I also liked the fact that in a Youth Hostel not all were too young/old to be there.

Just live the all experience. I hadn't been in a youth hostel for years and this was a very positive experience indeed.

The location was great, right near the hostel there is a bus stop, and the bus goes directly from/to the main railway station. My main destination was Rheinfall Waterfall, and I traveled with only one bus there and back. Breakfast was amazing, with very fresh bread, and a great choice buffet.

Staff were lovely and gave us a free room upgrade so we could enjoy some quiet and not have to share facilities with the only other group (15+ pple) who had rented the place. Breakfast is plentiful and delicious! Fresh warm bread

Breakfast was great, plenty of options and self serve. The place wa very quaint and with a nice garden and outdoor area.

We booked a twin room but ended up being swapped for bunk beds because they overbooked on the day.

Helpful staff, good breakfast, comfortable room and clean.

Only one socket in the whole room, with 8 beds in it. Bathroom had 6 sockets for 5 sinks, so maybe you are supposed to charge your things in there.
