Buena ubicación, zona segura, personal amable

Muy ordenado, acogedor, personal amable, muy buena ubicación, es fácil hacer amigos, te regalan una camisa si te quedas más de 3 días, el desayuno es básico pero sirve de mucho, la zona es muy segura y céntrica, a 5 minutos de la estación del metro para el aeropuerto, a 5 minutos del lago, puedes guardar tu comida en la refrigeradora y usar el tostador

Podría tener limpieza más contante en los gustos y baños

Estancia para 1 noche con muchas limitaciones y como última opción

Es un lugar "aceptable" con un estándar mínimo para la estancia. Edificación, cuartos y camas descuidadas, con muchos espacios abiertos que limitan la privacidad de las personas. El personal a cargo da un trato mínimo y espacios comunes no tienen respeto a las horas límites de ruido. Es un lugar de emergencia para pasar de manera segura 1 noche si no se encuentra otra opción.

Alles in allem ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt.

Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Außerdem wurde ein kostenloses Frühstück bereitgestellt. Die Lage des Hostels ist wirklich perfekt, man ist sehr zentral.

Die Matratze auf dem Hochbett war etwas durchgelegen, allerdings kann man bei einem Hostel wohl auch kein 5 Sterne Bett erwarten.

Perfect! The best choice

This hostel exceeded my expectations. I had to make a change to my reservation and was answered promptly. Super easy and very quick check-in, excellent location, key to the closet, clean bathrooms, properly heated showers and with hygiene products. It is clear that everything was thought of in every detail. I found an answer to any questions that I would have without even asking, because everything is duly marked in every facility. There is an intimate and very cozy pub at the bottom that is well worth the visit. I really liked everything and will recommend it to my friends. If you're in doubt, this is an excellent choice.

Tek gece için idare edilebilir

Hostelin en büyük avantajı konumuydu. Zürih’in merkezinde ulaşım imkanlarına çok yakın ve yürüyerek şehir merkezini gezebileceğiniz bölgede. Personel de çok güleryüzlüydü. İlk defa hostelde kalmama rağmen pişman olduğum bir deneyim değildi. Check-in ve check-out sonrası eşyalarımızı muhafaza etme imkanı için teşekkür ediyorum. Ayrıca ortak tuvaleti 2 defa kullandım ve ikisinde de temizdi.

Yataklar çok eskiydi ve odadaki 6 yataktan sürekli sesler geliyordu. En ufak bir kıpırdamada hemen yatak ses yapıyordu. Ayrıca yatak örtüsü, yastık, yastık kılıfı da aşırı eskiydi. Ben kendi yatak eşyalarımı götürmemiş olsam rahatsız edici seviyede özensizdi.

Bra boende centralt i Zurich

Läget, personal och rummet. Fick frukost utan att vi beställt detta. Bra information om sevärdheter. Fräsch och välskött.

Kudden i sängen var hemsk.

Great location a little bit overpriced for the facility.

The location was great. Expensive it

No AC , no laundry facilities, routine. The facility should’ve been maintained a little bit better for what we paid.

Location

I stayed in a room for 6 women only. Staff cleaned my bed but probably didn’t clean the room because the room was littered with rubbish.

Very good

Location is perfect. It is close to the main attractions of the city and it is really well connected to public transport.

Probably cleanliness leaves room for improvement.

At the heart of the old town, a very friendly and tidy hostel

The hostel is in a great location, just by the old town and the river. You can find many restaurants and bars around, and within a few minutes of walking you are in the heart of the old city. Easily accessible by tram. The staff is very friendly and helpful with the check in. The hostel provide coffee, tee, and other snacks in their kitchen. The room is very well equiped, the restrooms and shower were clean.

Convenient.

The room was well-prepared for the extremely warm weather and a relatively good size for three people. The location is walking distance or a short train right to most sites. The room was very clean and the building charming.

Can't think of anything.

Superb

Was an awesome place to meet fellow travellers and enjoy the charming nightlife of Zurich.

The shared common room/facilities could have been a bit bigger, perhaps with a couch and more chairs to facilitate more engagement between different people. All in all though, I had a wonderful time.

Great Location! Suitable if you like "camping"

Location was fantastic. Staff was great. Offered a lot of options for what to do and where to stay. People were really nice. I can't stress that enough. The people who stayed there were super friendly too. If you are a camping type of person, maybe you'd really like the place. One woman in my dorm was staying there for multiple days and enjoyed it. Also, I liked that they had free luggage storage for day of arrival and leaving. Really nicely done. Wifi was good. Also, they set it up so you didn't need Swiss plugs and could Euro plugs for your electronics. Really nice attention to detail.

1) The room was so small. I was in a triple with two other people. We were packed like sardines. 2) Wasn't as clean as I would like. 3) You share the bathroom and the showers with the floor, not just the people in your room. Your room does have a sink. 4) It was so hot! Incredibly hot. They have fans in the room, but it was not cool enough considering the weather. These hot summers aren't rare anymore either. 5) It wasn't really that cheap. I paid about 80 Euros or so. There were other hotels I saw that were about 40 euro more for a single room with private bathroom. If I could do it again, I would have skipped Zurich altogether if I couldn't get one of those private rooms. Regardless, I spent one night in the city and it was enough.

A great little hostel in a great location

It was perfect for everything we needed! We were able to leave our bags in the lockers before we’d checked in and after we checked out. The room was a great size for the three of us and the kitchen was set up with the essentials for breakfast and to make a few quick meals on nights we didn’t want to eat out

A little hob would have been useful in the kitchen

pleasant.

i liked how inspite of being shared toilets, everything was very clean. and also the location was the best.

I had to wait till 3 to check in but check out was at 10 am. i even mentioned that i am ok to pay, but it wasn't possible. Also, there was a person who was always in the common room, either with his laptop or just sitting there. After a time it got annoying that he had an opinion on everything and kept trying to talk even when he could see the other person is busy. i know my room mate also was avoiding the common room because of his constant presence.

Awesome location

Location is awesome. The neighborhood is filled with nice bars and restaurants. Very close to many famous spots in the city. Close to the river. The lockers in the rooms are very big. There's individual sinks on each room.

There's a lot a noise near the hostel at night. Including the hostel own bar. Can be trick to sleep early.

Exceptional

Your dormies are usually very nice, pretty outgoing had a lot of fun nights with other visitors just chilling in the common room. You're able to leave your bags there before and after check-in beds are nice and it's cleaned daily and checked up on by a maintenance guy when needed.

Zurich can be pretty expensive so do be aware of that. Otherwise nothing really felt off when I was at the hostel.
