 minik from Vietnam stayed here on 30th August 2010
There is no lift at this hostel, thus you have to climb up too much, very exhausting with big luggage! The price is ok for Zurich. Bars and clubs around, good to spend your night, though in general, Zurich is quite boring and expensive as well.

Rip-off... extra costs hidden everywhere... i felt cheated! CHF50 for a night in a basic dorm?!?!?!?! The price was not advertised as that, but once they had added up additional costs that were not foretold of, it added up to 50 a night. The building is large and empty and has no atmosphere. The only good thing about this hostel was the breakfast.

It didn't help that the other people in the room were idiots! The bed was comfortable but its near the night-life and can be a bit noisy. The staff are very helpful.

Location is good but reception closes from 12 to 3 pm. Not very clean but is ok for what you pay.

wish I had known the lockers were going to be so small. The showers were a little awkward too because there was not much room to move outside the shower nor was there anywhere to hang anything up to avoid it getting wet. Overall a decent experience. Would still definitely stay there again if I was in the area.

Really nice hostel and not too expensive for Zurich. Nice roof top terrace, good selection of board games but 7 floors up was a struggle with heavy bags. Nearby supermarket good for cheap food and hostel provided cheap deals for breakfast.

 GBP4 from Switzerland stayed here on 08th July 2010
One of the worst hostels ive stayed at. You have to walk up five flights of stairs just to get to the reception then to get to your room you have to walk up another 3 flights of stairs and there is no lift. They didnt even have a fan in the room and it was so hot. The place couldnt of been anymore boring ethier

It is a very good place. The location is very good, near than everything. But, there are not lockers to put the baggage, just a little locker to put the most important things.

I don't really have any complaints about the hostel, but Zurich itself was a little dull.

Great location- really close to the train station and the middle of the city. Although because of this its really noisy at night. Nothing especially wonderful or horrible about the hostel...
