    Location was amazing, easy to get to from train station, straight onto a regular bus service which stops outside and also goes onto the waterfalls. Really friendly check in, breakfast was decent. Really great environment

    The hostel is extremely clean and the staff is very helpful and friendly. It is quiet at night and it is about a 10-minute walk to the station. If you go to Zürich airport, this hostel is a good alternative to the Zürich hostels.

    There were no issues. It’s a quiet hostel with spacious grounds. Ideal for Families with small children and cyclists. Good storage for bicycles. Reception was particularly friendly.

    The location was great, right near the hostel there is a bus stop, and the bus goes directly from/to the main railway station. My main destination was Rheinfall Waterfall, and I traveled with only one bus there and back. Breakfast was amazing,...

    Staff were lovely and gave us a free room upgrade so we could enjoy some quiet and not have to share facilities with the only other group (15+ pple) who had rented the place. Breakfast is plentiful and delicious! Fresh warm bread
