What to write here to explain how wonderful time we had here... I have to start first with Michelle and Chris, two best persons we ever encountered behind the reception and managing a hostel. It started all with our 2,5h delay or arrival due to the unplanned Gotthard tunnel closing. We were stuck in a traffic jam and arrived around 19:30h instead of 17h. They were so kind and organized our dinner even in that time (initially planned for 18:30h), so when we arrived after our long trip from Italy it was nice and warm and delicious. During our stay there, they have been all the time super friendly, helpful and professional. This place is lucky to have them and without them it would never be the same. Our family room was nice and cosy with the great view of the lake and green fields and mountains around. Birds were waking us in the morning and it felt so great to be so close to nature. Very clean room and the whole place was clean in general. Our kids also had a great time with free activities there (play room, table tennis, table soccer). We are already looking and making plans to come back in the near future. It is not possible to give a higher review than 10/10 so we give only 10 here. I propose booking.com to make some possibility to give option for 'the best ever' mark/sign which can be used once per year or something and only on an exceptional case because this place is definitely exceptional.

- Really nice location near Lake Zurich - Clean - Balcony view

- No bedside power socket - Bed felt uncomfortable - Check in time is 5pm - Charged 5CHF for parking when I'm on a motorcycle! - Woke up to 6 mosquito bites! I shared a room with another guy and he was adamant in leaving the balcony door wide open because it was rather hot. - No air con

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.

Charging exra cost for parking in such area (garden house area, with big spaces for cars) is strange...

I felt very safe with my kids playing in the backyard. the food there is delicious as well. the staff were more than amazing. the manager was so generous and honest. I plan to come back every year with my family. definitely a great place for families to stay and for everyone to support!!

The room was big and comfortable. The hostel had very good facilities, and nice big public space with desk, TV and toys. It was really good for the kids. The area is beautiful and there's plenty of outdoor space for children to run around. Breakfast was great too.

Wonderful views of lake and mountains from our bedroom, hot shower, buffet breakfast. Option to book good value 3 course dinner.

Earlier breakfast time slot would allow Jacobsweg walkers to start earlier.
