Excellent location by the lake and a short walk away from the train station. The hostel was clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed breakfast and a possibility to have a quick dip in the lake.

We found the hostel expensive compared to the other places we have stayed previously, however it seems to be in line with overall prices in Switzerland. It is a stunning but very expensive country.

I liked the lake view and the breakfast. I liked how the person who did the check in for me treated me. I liked that I was able to have a bed in girls room. I liked that I was able to leave my bag in the locker room for luggage before check in and after check out.

I didn't like the late check in time.

The location is top notch. Simply excellent! And also next to the train station. It was very clean, the rooms, bathrooms everywhere. And there was a good breakfast in the morning.

Only one problem was, wi fi was not working in my room. But honestly I didn’t mind it so much.

Despite relatively old (I'm 50) I was for the first time in the hostel-style accommodation, thus my comparison could be a bit off the objective scale. Very friendly staff, a problem with booking the rooms immediately sorted out. Excellent location!

Everything was OK, maybe during breakfast missing food could be replenished a bit quicker. But, fortunately, we were not at the races :-), so had more time for discussions with friends. The hotel was full, i.e. many breakfast takers...:-)

The location is excellent, right by the train station and near to shops. It's great to have the use of a guest fridge, laptop and kettle. I appreciated the easy going nature of the staff despite Covid and good ventilation of the common rooms.

Only intermittent Wifi in room 211
