About

On the site where a school cabin served as a hostel in 1936, there now stands a spacious new-build featuring modern infrastructure, varied cuisine, a cosy bar and a 24-hour reception. Just a stone's throw from the lake shore, it's the perfect place from which to start chilled afternoons on the lake, a discovery tour of the exciting city of Zurich, or a thrilling visit to the zoo. Enjoy the hostel's quiet yet well-connected location, its sunny inner courtyard and the bright rooms, or book a seminar room for your banquet, meeting or training session. It's practical: from Wollishofen station, there is also a direct rail connection to the airport.

Summary of traveller reviews

Zurich Youth Hostel offers a clean and comfortable stay with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Guests appreciate the great breakfast and good value for money, though some note it's a bit far from the city centre, requiring public transport. It suits travellers looking for a peaceful base.

We had a brilliant time staying here as a family of 4 for 2 nights. My kids (13 and 10) loved it. The vibe was chill and the staff were fantastically friendly and helpful. One receptionist offered to help me find my phone when I thought I'd lost it (in the dirty laundry!) The mattresses were comfy, the shower was great, the food served was delicious and good value. We loved the breakfasts too, lots of choice and all fresh.

Very clean hostel and they had really nice facilities. The breakfast was great and they had a large outdoor hangout area and a ping pong table inside. The rooms were super clean and ours had a window you could open and close which was nice.
