  Liked: Two communal rooms for eating/ socializing.

  Disliked: Rooms are a little cramped and the lockers are too small to put any large backpacks/ suitcases in reducing the room size further as luggage is kept out.

  It was lovely. Exactly what I needed

  Liked: The location was great! The price and the room I got for it was great. I also appreciated that there was breakfast. The instructions at the desk were very clear and easy to follow. Everything was well organized.

  Disliked: There wasn't anything that I particularly disliked. It was a very short stay, and I didn't run into any issues.

  Central hostel, good location, bit expensive for concrete quality

  Liked: The hostel is located in the Old Town, next to Zurich’s main church. The location is very convenient and pleasant. I didn’t encounter any major, significant problems (and there’s no point in mentioning minor ones), but in my opinion, it is simply expensive for the quality it offers. It is old and somewhat worn. Then again, high prices are likely just a characteristic of Switzerland.

  I loved this safe and welcoming hostel and would definitely stay here again!

  Liked: Great location for solo travellers. The receptionist/owner was very nice and welcoming. Surprisingly, there’s also free breakfast, which is just enough to give you some energy to start the day. I will definitely come back to this lovely and safe hostel!

  Disliked: n/a

  Overall Very bad and not worth for the money which I paid. See all comments above

  Liked: Bed cover, pillow, pillow cover, bed sheet all were very old and pathetic. Beds are so weak and I felt everything from top is falling down when some one sleeps in upper bed.

  Disliked: Buy new and replace old sheets, pillow, bed, mattresses.
