Al ser un hospedaje en Zurich y tipo hostal, es un precio razonable a lo excesivamente cara qué es la ciudad. Las habitaciones para 4 personas son muy pequeñas, quizá alguna más amplia seria ideal. Cumple con su relación al costo, no me desagrado. Buen menú de desayuno, excelente atención del personal, incluso la opción de comidas que ofrecen también es buena. Quiza lo malo sería la ubicación. Esta un poco alejado de los puntos de interés. Nada que caminando, transporte público y uber no solucione pero tomar en cuenta un extra de dinero porque no será nada barato.

A lovely stay for one night! Lots of families & big communal areas with a nice patio & bar. It was a little hot & there were no privacy curtains. Communal bathroom/shower was clean & it was nice to have a sink in the room for a quick clean up. It was also nice to use your card as your key for a locker. A bit of a walk up hill from the train/bus station, but still very accessible.

Very convenient location next to a bus stop. Bathrooms were not very clean, but serviceable. Only two toilets for our floor which created a bit of an issue at times. No towels were provided. Excellent buffet breakfast. Superb common areas for lounging and dining.

Book this hostel! No need to look for any others

This is probably one if not THE best hostel I've stayed in so far during my Europe trip. Breakfast is amazing, room is spacious, bathrooms are clean (in fact the cleaning lemon-y soap they use can be overpowering to smell but it dissipates after a while). Staff is welcoming and helpful. A bit far from city center so you need to walk far or take the tram but it's very close to grocery stores and supermarkets. It's amazing. Love this hostel!
