The visit was great. For those who hesitate because of the distance from the center - train line 13 was very frequent.

The breakfast was delicious and with options. Enough space on the showers. Everyone was kind, they even gave us a sandwich to go because we were missing the breakfast at 5am

Really central location, close to the lake and many shops. Capsules are good size, and they give you a giant locker at check in. The guy in reception was really nice.

Our stay was absolutely perfect. We got everything we needed. Comfortable bed to sleep in, a shower room to get ourselves cleaned and a kitchen where we could eat our breakfast. We also needed WiFi which worked very well. Maggie, the hostess kindly helped us in every way. Also we needed late check-in and it was possible at 10pm. Thank you. We appreciate everything.

All hostels in Zürich

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit 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.

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.
