Central location , 10 mins walk from Zurich Hbf. Lovely views of the lake. The owner/manager lady was the nicest human i met- always helpful. Yes her english isn’t perfect but she always used translate to communicate. She was supportive in laundry even when i came in early and exhausted i was able to check in with a fee of 10CHF. Before I arrived i got a message saying no elevators which was good to know- thank God my luggage wasn’t too big. Place is always clean cause the manager/owner is always cleaning it

It was very comfortable and affordable. We didn’t use the kitchen but it would be so nice if you’re looking to save money and/or staying for an extended period of time. It was a short walk to the lake/beach which was lovely. The host is very welcoming and accommodating. She drove us to the train station in her own car for no charge.

All hostels in Zurich

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

Comfortable bed, comfortable pillow, clean room, great locations. Nice atmosphere, and I felt safe in the hostel. They had curtains on the bed which I really like, gave us a little extra privacy. No big clash of bathroom usage either. Good value for money given how expensive things are in Zurich.

The Location is perfect! Sits right in the middle of oldtown, you have many options where to eat, a short distance to bellevue/stadelhofenplatz to take either bus, tram or train 👍🏼 if youre on a budget - COOP is the way 🛒 The Hostel was clean, i never have to wait for someone to finish shower🫰🏼👍🏼 they have basic amenities which is great👍🏼 Vending machine and coffee machine and theres a code for people who will arrive later than 10pm. I find this place safe and clean and good value for money

The hostel is very safe; I stayed in a female-only room. Each room is equipped with lockers that come with keys, and the doors require a passcode for access. They also provide towels, and there is a shared bathroom for both toilets and showers in the same corridor. I was able to leave my bag in the locker for free the day after my stay. Additionally, they offer complimentary drinks and coffee throughout the day, along with a free breakfast each morning.

As always, youth hostel is a great place to meet great people from around the world and that was my favourite. Regarding the accommodation, i was in a four bed room with 2 bunk beds. As requested, I got a lower bed due to my backache issues. I stayed there two nights, so I don't have much to say. It just went well without any issues, so I'd say, all was great.

Spacious family room with comfortable beds. Delicous coffee from coffee machine for free during breakfeast time. For a youth hostel quite a decent breakfast buffet. Great location near the lake and close to public transportation. Well working WLAN.

The accommodation is in a great location, within walking distance of the train station and in the heart of the city centre, close to all amenities. The area is safe and quiet. The capsule is comfortable and spacious, equipped with a mirror, power sockets, coat hangers and a small shelf for storing things you need to keep with you. There is a lot of silence in the women's dormitory and you have coffee and snacks machines.
