Very stylish and clean, with an awesome breakfast. It takes some 20 minutes by tram to get there from the main station, however (that includes a 350 m walk from the tram stop to the hostel). Friendly and efficient staff (they changed my room immediately when I couldn't sleep because of 2 foul-smelling middle-aged Germans who were placed in my room). The room has a sink, with cold or hot water. Clean bathroom (the showers, however, have that pain in the ass water saving device). Real expensive.

It's a pretty awesome hostel. They have everything! Very clean. Just a little too far from the center,, but using the tram there's no problem at all. Nice rooms ( beds DO NOT make noises! :) very important when you are sharing room with others!) and very nice bathrooms! Wi fi only works on the hostel lounge. And a little too expensive for my budget, but is Switzerland, so... It's normal. Hahaha definitely recommend! :)

Nice hostel, it's pretty big and therefore a little impersonal, but the staff is kind and all the facilities are good. It is expensive, but that's just Switzerland I guess... ;).

Excellent Hostel just a short tram ride from Zurich center. Very clean throughout. The free breakfast in the morning was fantastic great start to the day. Friendly and helpful staff. Good lockers in the room and don't require your own padlock just a 2 euro coin which you get back. Have to be a member of this hostel company to stay which we only found out when we arrived it cost 12 euros to join for duration one off stay or was 30 euros for the year. Would stay here again! Thanks

Very helpful and nice personal. They took time to explain everything well. I really like the idea of the daily events. Go ahead with it. Thanks a lot.

Very expensive. But it's Zurich everything is expensive. Decent wifi in the lobby. Lockers in the room. Free luggage storage and breakfast help offset the high price. Very nice staff.

Was a bit far out of the city center, but was easy enough to get to. Had a good communal area, but had no kitchen facilities and the meal option was expensive, Was lovely and warm though, and staff were friendly and helpful.

Terrible location, appalling directions provided. Really weird hostel, dimly lit and half empty all the time. So odd. Try and find somewhere closer to the city, the tram ride is nice the first time but then becomes a nuisance.

The place is supposed to be 24 hrs. I showed up and couldn't get in after getting into the city 7 hrs late cuz of flight issues. Maybe put a decent sign outside saying to get access if your after x hours at night and need to check in???. The place is in the middle of nowhere compared to the real sights of Zurich. I do have to say the place is one of the best design and amenities though of all the places I've stayed in Switzerland!

It's really far from the city center; you have to take a tram for about 15-20 minutes, which costs money (of course, because it's Switzerland) and the trams stop running after a certain time at night, which makes going out difficult. The breakfast is phenomenal, though, and the building is really cool because it's a converted school. You also have to pay extra each night you stay if you're not a member of Hostel International. It was really quiet, but our roommates were really nice.

Staff were really friendly! A bit of a shame that there were no cooking facilities but could use the kettle to make soup and hot drinks etc. which was good. Lots of information about Zurich which was great too!

One ofthe showers was freezing cold. Hostel was very far from city center. Staff was nice but not super helpful when It came to site seeing. No free towel. Breakfast was amazing: meat and cheeses from region with bread and tea and coffee all you cam eat.
