efficient check in and payment - although initially mistakenly put into a room with a double bed the receptionist changed this to a twin with minimal fuss. Really good location in the old town to sight see, eat and shop. No frills style accomodation - perfect if you will be out and about for most of the trip Ideal to stay for 1-2 nights max

Great location but nothing special about the rooms. We were located right by the bathroom and were continually woken the entire night anyone on any floor used the bathroom. It would just eco down the walls and the when the doors closed it sounded like cannons going off. Just ask to not be by a bathroom! The breakfast was fantastic : )

Otter is good enough for a last option but if you can, try another one.

+: The bread at breakfast was suprisingly good! -: The ceiling lamp in the room gave a very poor light.

Great location but pretty spartan for the price you pay. But then Zurich is one of the most expensive cities so maybe you can't blame them. WiFi was very iffy and unreliable but worked well when it did work. The included breakfast is good and the bar downstairs is a good place to meet people staying at the hostel. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
