The staff was helpful, facilities were clean. The food was decent for the price but convenient. I love that they sell tickets to the airport at the desk for convenience.

I think this is the first HI hostel I've been to where it's not compulsory to be a HI member. Certainly this is the first where there were mixed sex rooms. There is a large, spacious common area. It welcomes guests of all ages, unlike some which (try to) enforce (relative) youth in guests. A good breakfast with a good spread is included in the price (there're even some local products), and it starts at 6am! Lunch & dinner are also available at reasonable prices (for Switzerland). The room was quite roomy. The power socket was really near bed - just above it, though it was recessed as is common in Switzerland so not all power adaptors will be able to use it. The lockers were both in the room and large.
