Selda's has a garden, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Schaffhausen. Located around 49 km from Zoo Zurich, the hostel with free WiFi is also 50 km away from ETH Zurich. The property is non-smoking and is situated 48 km from Zurich Exhibition Hall.

The whole staff and especially the manager are top notch. The location is perfect, 1 minute walk from the train station. The rooms are huge for it's location, and the price is extremely reasonable. I definitely recommend this hotel and I'm looking forward to be a guest there soon again!

You can choose from rooms with private bathrooms and flat-screen TVs or single beds in a dormitory. Free access to Wi-Fi is available in all of them.

The room was very comfortable and cosy. The staff was very welcoming and the check-in was easy. The location is very close to the Rhein fall which is only a 7 minute walk from the hotel. The 2 beds combined made a sweet king size bed for me and my wife, and made our sleep really comfortable. The extra pillows were also a good touch.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
