Zurich Youth Hostel

The Hostel is great for a city as Zurich. 1. Located in a good neighborhood - not really central, but about 1h walking from the train station, or, alternatively, 10 minutes by train. 2. Very good price considering that delicious breakfast is included. 3. Comfortable and very large, full of different options to spend the time around.

It was great, in a very attractive suburb of Zurich, with great views of the mountains and good facilities (beds, shower, food, washing machines etc all fine) really good, 24/7 friendly staff! And the great majority of people who I met (from all around the world) were great. I had one roommate who kept on smoking in our room, which I complained about and this was dealt with, but there was a bit of tension between us for a little while, however, this was also soon resolved too! And I left on good terms with everyone, after an excellent 7 days stay!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The community place was spacious, comfortable with good atmosphere. Moreover, there was a lot of bus stops (with ticket machine at every stop) and supermarkets so it's very convenient. Although there were a lot of slopes, the road was made of cement so walking is not a big issue.

Great location, friendly & helpful staff, spacious rooms, comfortable beds and pillows, clean showers & toilets, plenty of room in shared facilities, great breakfast, etc. Not a party hostel (if that's what you're looking for) but nice and quiet. It was easy to meet new people. You can also get great food and drinks at the bar/kitchen and they are reasonably priced for Zürich. The reception can also exchange money, in case you don't have any CHF yet. You will need 2 CHF as a deposit for your locker (you'll get it back); no need to bring a padlock for the locker. Shops, restaurants, and public transport in short walking distance. All up, a great place. I will visit again.

The hostel was reasonably clean and well-kept. The staff was friendly and competent and the 24/7 availability of the reception definitely helps to feel at ease that any complications could be taken care of at any time of day. The breakfast was also nice and had a decent selection to choose from, accommodating different needs.
