About

Holidays in and around Zug are anything but boring. If you like variety, you're in the right place! Viewing the Late Gothic buildings in Zug's old town from the Zytturm (clock tower) is just as exciting as a trip up the Zugerberg or an excursion to the fabulous subterranean world of the Höllgrotten Caves in Baar. You can make the most of the lake and hop into the water or onto a boat in summer. Zug Youth Hostel is also just a two-minute walk from the lake shore. Situated between the lake and the 'Herti' sports facilities, it's perfect for track and field athletics, curling, hockey and diving camps.

Summary of traveller reviews

Zug Youth Hostel in Zug offers a fantastic location, close to public transport and the lake. Guests appreciate the cleanliness and the friendly staff. Breakfast is included and good value. Some find it a bit pricey, and Wi-Fi can be spotty in rooms.

Such a nice place, it felt very fresh and clean, great beds (though the only thing i felt was missing were curtains), sinks in the room, nice and calm location but still central, friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast was incredibly nice and varied, with the cafeteria being nice, big and had a cozy area as well. The one bathroom for the women was, as far as i could tell, shared by the entire floor i was on. It didn't end up being a problem though, despite my initial concerns.

It is a little bit pricey but it is super nice and in a very good position. Lake beaches very near by walk/bike. In 15/20 minutes walk on the lakeside you can reach the city centre. Towels are not included in the price (+3 CHF)... But buffet breakfast included. I arrived outside reception opening hours, so I did self check in. Very close to the train station Schutzengel Zug.
