Wow, what an awesome time. We got a message a few days before, from the Alte Metzg staff, offering a free upgrade to the Boutique Pension — so this review is for that — but that was so random and wonderful. The space we clean, cute, spacious — amazing coffee, tons of ability to cook, close to bakeries and town. Not much to do in the town, but this space was great.

Great food options, for what was a beach front swimming and camping spot. Nice vibe. Very local feel, lots of kids. Lake was lovely. Had a wonderful foot massage, better than I imagined, as a first time.

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.

The hostel is extremely clean and the staff is very helpful and friendly. It is quiet at night and it is about a 10-minute walk to the station. If you go to Zürich airport, this hostel is a good alternative to the Zürich hostels.

Absolutely warmest welcome I've ever received in a hostel. Receptionists/ managers really went out of their way to take care of their guests. Breakfast was delicious. Tea is available all day. The place is spotless and so clean. I stayed for a week and it felt like home.

This was the best hostel ever!! The amenities and beds were so comfortable and the rooms were very private. It looked exactly like the pictures. The host even let us store our bags overnight because we were going on an overnight hike the day after.

The hotel itself in a green quiet area, nearby to the southern part of Lake Zürich. Lake is in 5 mins walk. It has a safe bicycle storage, good breakfast big commmon areas indoor and own garden. No fridge is in the rooms, but there is a small common one in the lobby.
