It's easy walking distance from train station, university and city center. Reception was friendly and efficient. My single room on the top floor had no AC just a fan, which is OK except that I suggest they install screens because bugs come in through the window in the summer. But overall, I was very happy with the place!

It's in a really cool building kind of outside of Zurich but that is nice in that it is quiet and peaceful. It is a simple building but well-equipped. Close to the market pharmacy and train station. The staff is amazingly helpful and everything is clean. Great job!!

Pretty nice for a hostel. Clean, bathrooms / shower good, WiFi good, good kitchen, and staff was very helpful. Only down thing is parking during the day. U rely on street parking which can be difficult during day, but ok late at night. Do have to move car before 9am. Also, most guests I think are working nearby, not tourists. Seems like a nice town. Good bar options close by.

I bet afternoon/evening receptionist NOT Swiss
I bet the afternoon/evening receptionist is NOT Swiss. All the Swiss persons I know and met as I travel around the world before and in my retirement years are the most wonderful and the sweetest. As a diabetic, Swiss medicines have been a big help to me and I am sure to many others and I am most grateful.

This place for school trip
I stayed 2nights. Room was clean and staff was very nice and friendly. But there were lots of kids for school trip, they are very noisy and to make unconvinience using kitchen. They use almost full space in kitchen dinner time and also breakfast time( because its school trip). Second day, the different school trip team came to stay. I think this place is very popular for school trip. If there is no school trip kids, it was perfect.

Great place to stay with friendly staff!
Great place to stay and good price. Only suggestions are bigger kitchen space and an oven to use. Definitely recommend staying here! Especially the private room with own bathroom.
