    Bathroom facilities are a bit small and limited.

    Located on the outskirts of the city, but easily accessible by tramway (the closest stop is a 5-minute walk), very clean hostel (immaculate), with very comfy beds, even with an ergonomic pillow from Ikea!

    I'm like a hostel management, cleaning, and the kitchen is best for anyone to use. I'm visiting the hostel. Thanks

    The sheets were a plastic-y material. It would be great to have the option of female-only dorms.

    A comfortable stay in Zurich. Very clean. It looks like a house that has been turned into a hostel. The kitchen was well equipped. The location is about a 15-20min tram ride from the center (and the tram station where you get off is not far from the hostel)

    My only complaint is that the bathroom facilities are on the lower floor, so if you're in the entrance-level floor, you'll have to go downstairs everytime you need to take a shower, brush your teeth or use the toilet.

    Loved my stay! I travelled for a scientific conference that happened in the University of Zurich and decided to stay here. I was assigned a very comfortable bed on a 4-bedroom, which had big windows and places to store your stuff. The host was super kind and we always had tea available free of charge. There is a livingroom with couches and a big table, and a functional kitchen that we could use, including a fridge. The rooms were not too hot nor too cold and very clean. The hostel is a little far away from the city centre but the excellent public transport made it a breeze to travel inside Zurich.

    The location is quite far from the city center and main train station. I found some bugs in the bathroom. The beds have curtains so there is less privacy.

    Good enough for a one-night stay. You have to remove your shoes and use slippers that they provide. There was a portable AC in the room. They provided a towel for free. The staff spoke limited English but tried to be helpful and to keep the facilities clean. As a tea drinker, I really appreciate the complimentary tea, with a good selection too!

    However, the continuous night activity, in, out of the room, did not allow a good sleep

    The place is ok, for who enjoys ambiance of a hostel.

    - Inconvenience with other guests, mainly with noise and limited spaces (both in the bedroom and amount of bathrooms) - The hostel is located on a hill so access from/to train station is a workout

    - Very clean and well maintained places, beautiful outdoor garden seatings. - Sweet and responsive staff, easy check-in.

    The bunk beds were tiny.

    I came to Zurich just for one night for a concert, and it was very easy to get to the hostel from the railway station, and then to the venue, and I had my train super early the next day and getting to the station was again super easy. For me the localisation was perfect. Toilets and bathrooms were very good

    The owner was very friendly she was a bit old yet had a warming aura.. The backyard was so picturesque and facilities were good too, the rooms and washrooms were extremely clean and well kept and ambience was really soothing

    Bed sheets / pillow covers were clean but a bit old. Also you have to wait for your turn to shower, especially in the morning.

    Host is friendly. Kitchen is very clean. The backyard was very nice especially at night.
