    The bed was very comfortable and the lockers in the room as well as the wooden lockers to lock it, so that you could leave your suitcase was very helpful.

    The breakfast could have offered something more like sausage and cheese as well as fruit.

    The budget breakfast was amazingly good. If you are satisfied with instant coffee, I can recommend it to you.

    A big hook in the shower or a chair where you can put your clothes on would be great.

    As low-budget travelers, we appreciated the centrally located hostel in the heart of the pedestrian area, surrounded by nice pubs. The friendly staff and clean facilities, including comfortable beds and well-equipped showers, made our stay enjoyable. The common room with a kitchen and tea facilities added convenience.

    Felt really good, no complaints whatsoever.

    Very good location directly in the city centre, not far from Großmünster and Lake Zurich. Quite comfortable bar on the ground floor, and yet at least I wasn't bothered by any noise.price-performance by Zurich standards is quite good.

    The boss was sometimes a little bad-tempered, even if helpful (e.g. luggage was no problem at all). Breakfast is not bad, but the choice is quite limited. The equipment of rooms and sanitary facilities is not in great shape, but it still works.

    This hotel is located right in the heart of the city, making it the perfect base for exploring Zurich. The old town location adds to the charm and the convenience of being within walking distance to major attractions is unbeatable. The friendly staff and their efficient service create a welcoming atmosphere. The rooms, although small, are clean and comfortable and provide everything you need for a good night's sleep.

    All aspects were well taken care of.

    Central hostel, which can score with the attached bar. The common room is large and can also be used as a breakfast room. In addition there is the possibility to receive a quite luxurious breakfast for 7CHF.

    I felt a little listless in the morning.

    There is a bar in the hostel where we got our breakfast (private room). Simple but very nice and very lively district in the evening, but still it was quiet in the room.

    The rooms are a little old.

    Nice, clean, and modern hotel with a cosy bar. Friendly staff and perfect location.

    Three rooms share one bathroom and one restroom.

    Location, everything was clean, staff very courteous. I wouldn't have thought there'd be a budget breakfast.

    Our room got pretty hot and airless. Well, typical Hostel: a roommate came at about 2:00 o'clock for the first time and put her mattress on the floor at 5:00 o'clock without asking (drunk?), so I couldn't get to my things, but I actually wanted to leave at 7:30 (completely) and pack my things. That was quite difficult.

    Great breakfast, warm beds, clean sheets, hot showers, hair dryer, common room.

    Nothing that I didn't like.
