Das Youth Hostel ist sehr schön gelegen am See, es hat ein Restaurant nebenan und eine Tiefgarage. Das Frühstück ist einfach, aber gut. Die Zimmer sind allerdings extrem minimalistisch. Es hat kein Lavabo im Zimmer. Den Preis finde ich für das sehr einfache Zimmer mit Gemeinschafts-Lavabo, -Dusche,-WC zu hoch. Zudem war eine oder mehrere Schulklassen bei mir auf der Etage, was nicht gerade für eine erholsame Nacht sorgte...

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!

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.

+ Nice location and very charming peaceful place. Staffs are very friendly and cooperative. Breakfast was very nice. Lakeside view is mesmerizing experience and we loved it. - We missed some room cleaning and in our room WiFi connection was not smooth ( lakeside view). In fact, could not use WiFi at all inside the room. Very far away from Zurich center (40 min by train ). One way ticket 🎫 is about 12€and up down around 24€/adult. It’s very expensive.

Es fehlen MückenGitter vor den Fenstern. Wir waren Mitte April da und wahnsinnig viele Mücken. Die Zimmer sind sehr klein und ohne jegliche Gemütlichkeit. Sauber ist aber alles. Für 1-2 Nächte zu empfehlen.

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.
