Offering 24-hour reception, free public Wi-Fi and a spacious lounge area with flat-screen TV and billiards, Youth Hostel Zurich is 80 metres away from the Jugendherberge bus stop.

The Youth Hostel serves a typical Swiss breakfast as well as packed lunches and dinners. Snacks are available around the clock. Compared to hostels in other countries, this is a next level, excellent hostel. Compared to hostels in other Swiss cities, it's also one of the best (I visited altogether four cities). If you consider that the breakfast is included in the room/bed price (and how expensive eating out in Switzerland is), this is a very good deal (and it was the best, richest breakfast of the four hostels, and gluten free bread also available upon request). EU plugs available and plenty, not necessarily the case in other places.

The Oldtown Hostel Otter and its old-established Wüste Bar is a stylish place for the young-at-heart in Zürich's Old Town, about 300 metres from the Zürich-Stadelhofen train station and the lake.

The hostel offers beds in dormitory rooms, as well as individually furbished private rooms with access to a shared lounge with a kitchenette and luggage storage. Beautifully decorated hostel in a great location. The rooms have enough space for the number of people who want to stay there. There was a small work area in the kitchen where you could also work on your laptop. All in all, I had a great four days at the Oldtown Otter.

1.4 km from Bahnhofstrasse, Stay2Night City Center Hostel is located in Zürich and provides free WiFi and express check-in and check-out. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a terrace. Fraumünster is 1.7 km away and Grossmünster is 1.9 km from the hostel. The staff was pretty nice, greetings to Oscar and the owner!, the location might give you a wrong vibe of what it really is. It’s not even dangerous, just a “curious” city block tho :) you can chill, no need to actually worry about! Best Cheap option in center, next to train station (Hauptbahnhof). Enjoy the city!

Friendly Hostel Zürich is well set in the centre of Zürich, and provides a terrace and free WiFi. This property is set a short distance from attractions such as Grossmünster, Swiss National Museum, and Bellevueplatz. The property is non-smoking and is located 300 metres from Bahnhofstrasse. Central location , 10 mins walk from Zurich Hbf. Lovely views of the lake. The owner/manager lady was the nicest human i met- always helpful. Yes her english isn’t perfect but she always used translate to communicate. She was supportive in laundry even when i came in early and exhausted i was able to check in with a fee of 10CHF. Before I arrived i got a message saying no elevators which was good to know- thank God my luggage wasn’t too big. Place is always clean cause the manager/owner is always cleaning it
