    they don't give towels, you have to pay for them and they ask to provide a guarantee as in your identity card. i find this quite strange and way too much to do for.....a towel. also, the place is quite far from the center

    it's clean and funny place, diverse and interactive

    Nice stay, great modernist architecture

    • Bed in 6-Bed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    I liked the building - amazing modernist architecture by Ernst Gisel, both: brutalist interiors and exteriors. The room was OK, I had the top of the bunk bed, easy to access, enough space. The room was 6 beds, 5 of which were occupied. The aircon was a bit loud and you could hear what was happening in the front 'bathroom' - room with sinks. Nice breakfast, good coffee. Overall good for a short stay, quiet and pleasant. Nice staff.

    Requested an extra pillow and blanket and was refused. No idea why. They don't provide a towel so how do you shower? They wanted to charge me $20+ dollars because apparently when I tried to make my bed in the dark getting yelled at by other people in the room for turning on the light I didn't make the bed exactly how they wanted it made. If that is the case then they should be making the beds? So that was bizarre. I've never seen that before. Even with a half empty hostel, they still put other people in the rooms even when it's not necessary. Very difficult to get any sleep.

    Very nice staff. The airline delayed my bag so I had no luggage for 3 days and they were helpful and kind. Included breakfast and coffee was good as well as the 24 hour study area. Hot water in showers and multiple restrooms. Clean linen and staff cleans well. Well staffed. I'm

    They charge more for female only dorms. That's not right. Also the location is very much out of the city itself. You either need to catch a 10 min train or tram. The beds - very classic hostel

    The staff here were the best! Some great recommendations and made a solo traveller much more comfortable. The dinner was great value for money. A nice big plate of food. Breakfast was also good 👍🏽 I imagine it would be a great spot in the summer months.

    Experiencing Youth hostel Zurich.

    The toilets were stinking quite a lot. Though the cleaning staff tries to maintain it well, but still one side was really stinky, so I would rather use the one on the other side of the floor. The second issue though is the breakfast. It's advertised as included, but if you don't eat meat, you literally have nothing to eat as breakfast, unless you are ready to munch some bread with butter, maybe. That too, the breakfast is for a very short window and there's no one to clarify any doubts, if you got one. Thirdly, it's a bit further away from the centre, so not ideal if you're planning to roam around the centre otherwise you'll have to take a tram, though tram connectivity is really good. Fourth, the beds need lots of work. If you have both the beds occupied in the bunk beds, you'll have a tough time sleeping as the bed keeps screaming all the time.

    As always, youth hostel is a great place to meet great people from around the world and that was my favourite. Regarding the accommodation, i was in a four bed room with 2 bunk beds. As requested, I got a lower bed due to my backache issues. I stayed there two nights, so I don't have much to say. It just went well without any issues, so I'd say, all was great.

    Bathrooms could be cleaner and smelling better.

    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.

    The room is a little bit smaller than I expected.

    The hostel is a little bit away from the city centre, but it is close to the bus/Tram station, so it's easy to get in and out. The receptionists were passionfully and friendly. The common area is large and there is quite a bit of entertainments. Good choice for breakfast.

    Rooms were nice but kind of small and stuffy and not much space for four people. No curtains on bed for privacy. Quite far from central and the main station. It was about 50 mins walk. A little daunting at night as a solo female traveler. But it is well connected by public transport. If you arrive to Zürich by train I advice to stop at Wollishofen station which is just 10 mins away.

    Helpful and nice staff. I arrived way before check in time and they let me use the showers and settle in anyway. They also answered all my questions. Very clean and spacious bathrooms and shower rooms. Handy lockers and a sink in the room. Good internet connection. Good breakfast!

    The hostel is located in a quiet neighborhood and it is a little bit far from most sightsseeing, so you really need some sort of public transportation to go around the city. They had sinks with no soap in the bedroom. I just don't get ir why having sinks with no toilets or soap. And what I think was a bit unfair is that they have lockers in the bedroom, bur you have to pay 2 frncs to use it.

    The room was big enough and the breafast was excelent! The lobby has many leisure otprions for the guests.

    The spacing between beds is a bit tight.

    There's no cooking area, but they serve food 24 hours a day and the prices aren't bad for Switzerland. The room is clean and cozy. The shower is separate from the toilet, so it's clean. The lobby is very spacious and comfortable.

    I arrived very late and very tired and the staff took a long time for the check in for a problem in the software. I just wanted to go to bed at that time. They could be more friendly and accellerate the process.

    The breakfast was nothing special but everything and good quality.
