The Hostel is great for a city as Zurich. 1. Located in a good neighborhood - not really central, but about 1h walking from the train station, or, alternatively, 10 minutes by train. 2. Very good price considering that delicious breakfast is included. 3. Comfortable and very large, full of different options to spend the time around.

Bathrooms could be cleaner and smelling better.

It was great, in a very attractive suburb of Zurich, with great views of the mountains and good facilities (beds, shower, food, washing machines etc all fine) really good, 24/7 friendly staff! And the great majority of people who I met (from all around the world) were great. I had one roommate who kept on smoking in our room, which I complained about and this was dealt with, but there was a bit of tension between us for a little while, however, this was also soon resolved too! And I left on good terms with everyone, after an excellent 7 days stay!

It’s probably a 10-15 minute journey back from the centre of Zurich via the train and trams, which is great! But about a 50-60 minutes walk, which meant you couldn’t have a late night out with your friends on say a Wednesday or Thursday as the transport, finishes at midnight. Secondly the laundry services (washing machines, tumble dryer etc), were fine to use once you had gotten used to how they worked! It took me a few turns to really get the tumble dryer working well! There are instructions in there, which help, but it still wasn’t straightforward! I did get all my clothes washed and dried very well eventually, but it took a few hours!

Comfortable bed, good breakfast. I got great help when I discovered a bedbug in my room. The team was absolutely amazing at taking measures and they moved me to a new room and helped me clean my clothes, they put my luggage in the freezer, and gave me new clothes to sleep in.

Spotted a bedbug.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The community place was spacious, comfortable with good atmosphere. Moreover, there was a lot of bus stops (with ticket machine at every stop) and supermarkets so it's very convenient. Although there were a lot of slopes, the road was made of cement so walking is not a big issue.

The train station and tram stop is not too far, but we have to walk on slopes so it's a little inconvenient when travelling with heavy suitcases. The bathroom and WC has automatic lights, but it turns off if you're in the toilet too long.

The aesthetic of the hostel was great. The breakfast exceptional, but with very limited vegan options. The fact that the rooms had a pre-room with sinks and space for dressing and luggage storage without annoying the other people and with relative privacy was great!

The behavior of 2 people in the room ( i was in a full 6-bed room) was unacceptable in the morning. One in particular was answering phone calls talking loudly despite my repetitive requests. At the end they even left rubbish on the floor like used swabes (!). Additionally the doors of the toilets from the inside were very dirty and disgusting. There were markings for human liquids, even sperm marks. Specifically on the last toilet from the northern side of the 1st floor.

Great location, friendly & helpful staff, spacious rooms, comfortable beds and pillows, clean showers & toilets, plenty of room in shared facilities, great breakfast, etc. Not a party hostel (if that's what you're looking for) but nice and quiet. It was easy to meet new people. You can also get great food and drinks at the bar/kitchen and they are reasonably priced for Zürich. The reception can also exchange money, in case you don't have any CHF yet. You will need 2 CHF as a deposit for your locker (you'll get it back); no need to bring a padlock for the locker. Shops, restaurants, and public transport in short walking distance. All up, a great place. I will visit again.

nothing - everything was great

very clean, well organized, super friendly reception staff. nice breakfast buffet. Bathrooms also super-clean. Good to reach by train, bus, tram, can also walk, but must walk up the road. Nice common area, and at evening bar is open long hours and beer prices were reasonable for swiss standards

high price, but that's Switzerland, crazy prices everywhere. not to blame the hostel for that : the people. one guy snoaring, people making video calls late at evening, somebody else took the bed, which was reserved for me. Not the backpackers vibe here, overall strange people staying in my room. as usual in hostels, must prepare bed yourself with linen, some guests did not prepare bed in proper way = unhygienic, risk of bedbugs & co. Again, the guests are the problem, not the hostel

The hostel was reasonably clean and well-kept. The staff was friendly and competent and the 24/7 availability of the reception definitely helps to feel at ease that any complications could be taken care of at any time of day. The breakfast was also nice and had a decent selection to choose from, accommodating different needs.

The only thing that felt somewhat unfortunate was the way some staff were "selling" for example the fact that we could have breakfast as if it were offered for free to us. We paid for it, and as such, we expect to have breakfast. A detail in the bigger picture but it did make us feel somewhat odd.

Breakfast is great here and the room is big and comfortable. It has a parking lot which makes it convenient if you drive to Zurich, you can stop worrying about parking and start enjoying this wonderful city. Drinking water from public fountains are all over the city, so don't buy bottled water, just fill up your own.

Location is a bit far away from the main attractions, but public transport is easily accessible and you can always walk and enjoy the nice Swiss neighbourhoods, so it's not a really problem (it goes without saying that Switzerland is a very safe country, so you can walk anywhere anytime without worries).
