The facilities and breakfast were great and staff and was lovely. They had a storage room for luggage when I checked in early that was nice. Only issue was getting from the train to the hostel with luggage. There's a target large hill you have to walk up. Other than that it was a great stay!

The breakfast was good. It was quite annoying, after traveling all day, to get to the hostel and to have to make the bed. Most hostels make the bed for you, so this was unexpected.
It was clean but during our stay many tenets were there and did not observe quiet time. It was past midnight and teens were still running, yelling, banging the doors and I have to go to front desk to report this matter.0
Perfect hostel for a family of 4. Sink in room, shared bathrooms were clean and modern. Service was friendly and helpful! Better than a 3 star hotel in the USA.

Plug didn’t work in the room. Towel an extra cost check in very busy. But for Zurich still a good deal
Overall wasnt happy with my stay for a number of reasons, but there was one member of staff who couldnt have helped me more. I didn't catch her name but the blonde lady is a pleasure.
