    - You have to pay for extras like coffee.

    - Good location (walk 15 minutes to the centre or take a public transport). - Free public transport card included during the days of your stay. - Very clean, both the rooms and bathrooms. - Cheerful staff. - Breakfast included. It’s good. - Good value for money (for Switzerland).

    Nothing. Maybe the location is not that ideal, but I liked walking to the city center and you also get visitiors pass from the hostel and can use it on buses.

    Everything was amazing the staff was really helpful and nice. Also ypu receive a visitors pass with discounts to some activities and free bus rides. Met some really nice girls there and the breakfast was nice.

    May be about the direction from the main train station first, the bus number n last stop before hostel and the distance and the direction to hostel will make more easy for everyone. We had a bit difficulty because of some contractions was going on and no one told me or write to me about it. Anyway thank you 🙏. We would love to stay in your hostel again . Not to far from city.

    Just a value money stay .decent and quite frankly staff and no complaints . We had pleasant stay

    Beds divided by thin material, so if your bedmate turns on the light, it will disturb you as well. Rooms have too many beds

    Big dorm of 20 beds, so lot of noise depending on the guest, bring earplugs. The street nearby with the bus was in construction, so it was a little confusing where to take it, I ended up walking everywhere.

    The breakfast was super great, lots of options. The dorms was clean and we were sure the sheets were too since we do our beds ourselves. The toilets and the showers are separate. I was at about 20-30 minutes of walking from everywhere I wanted, but the hostel also gave me a transport card on arrival.

    Sockets by the beds are not very convenient to charge tour phone. The hostel is a bit far away from the city center, so you'll have to take a bus each time

    The fact that it was filled with kids. I never expected to see that many kids in a hostel. Thought it would be young people (18+) and adults, but there were kids which I assume were on some kind of field trip with their school. They were extremely noisy and left everything dirty. Made my stay a lot worse.

    The staff was amazing. They also had breakfast included, which was actually an AMAZING breakfast with quite a lot of variety.

    Proper ventilation is required even if they are trying to save the environment by removing the Air conditioning that's fine at least provide proper ventilation or fans for each bed. Charging socket location is very wrong for bunk beds it falls on your face every time.
