The Hostel was good but is a little outside the city center. However, well-connected by the trams. Enjoyed my stay....a little expensive though.....

It's unfortunate this place is so far from the center of town. Getting there is a bit of a hassle. I absolutely loved the facilities. It was a really nice place to stay and I was very happy to see such a great spread for breakfast. I wish we could have stayed for another night here! It would have been nice if the WiFi worked in the rooms.

Was an alright place to stay. Lockers in room. Nice people at reception. The shower ceiling was thoroughly covered in mold. I think the wifi worked from my bed. Good location with it in old town. Cheapest hostel in the city I think and decent location.

Amazing hostel. Location is far away, but price and atmosphere are amazing. Nothing cheaper and cleaner in Zurich impossible to find. But you need to be aware that in case is you dont have a \"Guest Card\" for Youth hostels, you will need to pay extra 6 euros per one time visit ( on top of the price - per person). Enjoy your stay!!! (Y)

Very clean and well-run hostel - was a bit out of the way though and did not have a good atmosphere. A lot of the people staying here were families or people travelling on business so it wasn't a great place to hang out and meet people. Great breakfasts though and good security.

The Hostel was was way too expensive for what you got. The location was even worse being so far from anything to do.

The location is slightly far from the city centre, but it was easy to get to via tram. For an expensive place like Zurich, this was really value for money.

When I first was going to this hostel, it was a bit difficult to get to - really not convenient to the city centre. And then at the reception there was a huge queue to book in. I wasn't impressed. But after thebad beginning, everything else was great. There was a decent meal which was cheap for Zürich. The room and beds were good. Each bed had a power socket. The showers were good. The breakfast the next was fantastic. And I met lots of cool people.in the main hall.

Very professional hostel, one of the best I have ever stayed in. Free breakfast was great. I would have liked soap in the room by the sink and maybe in the showers. Wifi needing a cell phone number seemed a little unnecessary, like data mining.

I was rather annoyed to find an additional 6 euro/night charge because I was not a member. The membership fee was 33 euro, so while it was cheaper to just pay the 6 euro/night, it still adds up. If that was posted on the website, I didn't see it. That being said, the accommodation was extremely clean and the breakfast provided was of a high quality. I enjoyed my stay.
