Viktoria Budget Hostel, hotel in Winterthur

Viktoria Budget Hostel in Zurich provides adults only accommodations with a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace.

The owner was so kind to me that thanks to her I could have one of the best and calmest nights in a long while! I can see that she puts a lot of effort in making the hostel beautiful, clean and cosy. Don't mind that it's a bit further from the center - if you have to use the public transport anyway at least once, just buy the 24h ticket and it will be super worth it. Wishing her all the best!

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Honestly the best hostel I've ever been to and I've travelled all around Europe. Great value for money and both Zurich and Schaffhausen are easily reached by train thanks to Winterthur's good connections.

    First hostel I've been to that really is as nice, clean and with good quality facilities as it looks in the fotos. And all that at a really reasonable price. It's a 5-10min walk from the train station, where you have trains to Zurich HB every 10mins. If you want to visit Zurich (and surroundings) on a budget, this is a great place to stay.
