“Don't make a book before you read this.”

I stayed here for 6 nights and was awesome. The staff are extremely kind they help me with some places to find a job, giving resumes... The cleanest hostel that I never see, kitchen, common areas, rooms, showers... I have to come back in a few days and I will stay here again. Thank you so much.

Everything was perfect! I will definitely come back! All clean, big and warm room, nice view and friendly staff and in the centre of the town! Also big shout-out that after 23:00 people respect those who want to sleep!

The location was perfect, the hostel staff and guests were friendly and welcoming, good facilities and curtains in bunk beds for more privacy

“A bit old and dusty but still a very good choice”

Windows and view! I never think of it living in hostels, but here it was really cool. The location is awesome. Cozy beds in a women dorm. There’s an elevator! It wouldn’t be easy with a suitcase without that. Big common room, dishes, fruits, tea - that’s hospitable. You can leave luggage in a locker for a day.

The hostel is well located, it has a direct train to go to the airport and its just 20 mins walk from the Zurich train station. The locality is very happening and you have a lot of things to do around. I stayed in the hostel for the first time and I really enjoyed the stay. The rooms and washrooms were very clean. I could store the luggage in case of early check in and late check out. I have no complaints at all.

Price is affordable and it is near metro station. Easy to reach from airport. Good choices of restaurant around the area. Room is comfy and receptionist is kind.
