Great scenic location. Good rooms and local amenities. Breakfast incredibly unsustainable, a lot of meat and dairy is provided- sad news for the animals and the planet. However there were some vegan options.

10/10 Exceptional

This hostel is a real gem. Very inexpensive, an easy train ride into Zurich city center and airport, right next to the train station, right on the lake, with a beautiful lakeside park just out the door. Staff are very friendly and helpful, even though I only spoke english. Everything was extremely clean, including rooms, bathrooms, showers, and common areas. The included breakfast was extremely good. This place is just as good as fancy hotels that cost five times more.

In guter Erinnerung
meine Schwester und ich mit meinen 2 Hunden, haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt in einem tollen Zimmer mit See-Sicht übernachten zu dürfen. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und wurde sogar nachgefragt ob alles ok wäre. Unsere "Sonderwünsche" wurden erfüllt. Uns bleibt der Aufenthalt in schöner Erinnerung. Vielen Dank!
