Lovely friendly staff and dinner is great value for money! Comfy bed and fine shower. Cool chill area. Tip: tram 7 goes to and from this property from Zurich main station, unless you want to spend your holiday budget very fast on a taxi this is your best option!

Surprisingly awesome.

Perfect hostel for a family of 4. Sink in room, shared bathrooms were clean and modern. Service was friendly and helpful! Better than a 3 star hotel in the USA.

A great hostel and exceeded our expectations. We received breakfast the following morning and it was great. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. And the staff were very nice. Train station and shopping centre are both in walking distance.

Not much to compare to in zurich, it was ok and great to have breakfast but i woulndt say its wonderful, also it is expensive i know switzerland is the excuse why but still its double the rest of europe for similar facilities.
Gregory, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Its like a dorm for a student not for a tourist.

Check in at 15 noon. No towels, shampoo, soap. And above all COMMON toilet and bathroom. Breakfast composed only of 3 choices: ham, salami and servelat. They have cereals, jam and yougart, coffee and tea. But Danile very accomodating and helpfull. Take the trikk number 7 to the main street

its ok
Federico, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

DO NOT STAY HERE. I was greeted by two drug addicts at the footsteps who pushed me away when trying to enter the building. I had to squeeze through the door as they would not get out of the way to let me through. When I got into the hostel itself I was horrified, maybe two bathrooms for 30 or more people and trash littered all around. I entered the building and left within an hour to another hostel. I know it’s cheap, but I cannot stress this enough, do NOT stay here, it is worth the money for a different place.
Cruz, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Tudo foi perfeito, mas o que mais me impressionou foi a simpatia de todos os funcionários. O Kin ou Ken que me atendeu na recepção me ajudou demais em tudo na cidade, pelo que agradeço muito. Havia também uma moça na recepção muitíssimo simpática, que sempre estava sorridente e feliz em atender todos. Fiquei muito feliz de ter ficado aqui. O café da manhã é excelente também. As camas não são aquelas de luxo, mas melhor custo-benefício não há. Indico mil vezes!!
