I stayed here in a 5-bed dorm room once for a few days in 2008 while backpacking en route back to…read moreIreland from Istanbul: it's a top notch hostel. The area is quiet, the rooms and beds are clean, and as I recall there's a pretty nice kitchen, a courtyard where you can chill after a day's worth of exploring, and it's really close to the train station.

Clean and comfortable. I love that the beds were assigned, I've had my bunk stolen in other hostels…read morebefore. The lockers were huge and the hostel itself was so clean, including the bathrooms. Great kitchen too in the common area. Staff was super friendly as well. Only con is that there were no outlets for the top bunks.

I think this is the first HI hostel I've been to where it's not compulsory to be a HI member…read more Certainly this is the first where there were mixed sex rooms. The crowd kept to themselves, probably because this hostel is so big, the common area does not facilitate interaction (which is a flip side of a large, spacious common area). It welcomes guests of all ages, unlike some which (try to) enforce (relative) youth in guests. A good breakfast with a good spread is included in the price (there're even some local products), and it starts at 6am! Lunch & dinner are also available at reasonable prices (for Switzerland). The room was quite roomy. The power socket was really near bed - just above it, though it was recessed as is common in Switzerland so not all power adaptors will be able to use it. The lockers were both in the room and large.

However, one thing that concerned us were, surprise parking fee which was not mentioned before. Overall it's pricey but maybe worth it!

I travel for a living and have stayed in a number of hostels before. This by far was the most…read moreunpleasant. First thing is no one answers the phones. Check in was at 3 pm, and I wanted to know if I could drop my bags and no one answered. Upon arriving to the hostel , the guy behind the bar didn't even acknowledge me , never looked me in the eye .. I had to say "excuse me " two times . I asked about check in , and while on his phone says "you're early ", then thru me a key and said where I could stow my bags ... Very unpleasant, however he flirted with every woman who came in the cafe . Actually all the guys were not too pleasant , the women were sweet however. Otherwise the hostel was very clean and kept . Nice clean bathrooms and dorms. Hot water only lasted maybe ten minutes, but is expected with hostels , where there are numerous people. I wish there was more than one bathroom , that was kind of brutal, but luckily I stayed in a six bedroom where I only saw two other girls Nice hostel to meet people, in the party area , but customer service here sucks .. and I probably wouldn't stay here in again.

If you want to stay in the red light district of Zurich in a place above a bar where old men hit on…read moreyoung girls then this is the place for you. For the price you pay it is not worth the money other than the fact that it is semi-close to downtown. There is one dirty bathroom for a room of 8 people in the mixed room making it nearly impossible to get ready when you want to. Not to mention the bed's squeak every time someone moves waking you up each time. Because you are downtown you hear noises that sound like people fighting followed by sirens. STAY IN AN AIRBNB OVER THIS!

Everything was great here!

The lockers were also too small. Other than that, all was great! I came in July for one night. Anyway, this is a great accommodation and clean, too!

Highly recommend this place due to its location. It's about seven minutes walk to the Basel train…read morestation. And it is located across the street of a school in a quiet community. There are different types of rooms available to suit different needs. The single room has a sink which helps a lot. The only shared place is toilet and the shower. I didn't see anyone using it while I was there. Check in and check out is on the phone. But they is staff at the café to answer any questions if you need help. The only downside of this place is the room sometimes smells like toilet. But there is a big window so I don't mind too much.
