Nur Nachtlebentauglich

Wer am Wochenende hier schlafen möchte, ist am falschen Ort. Die Bässe des Nachtlebens gleich nebenan wummern bis weit nach 3 Uhr morgens. Das Zimmer ist nicht klimatisiert und so war es extrem heiss trotz geöffnetem Fenster.

It's easy walking distance from train station, university and city center. Reception was friendly and efficient. My single room on the top floor had no AC just a fan, which is OK except that I suggest they install screens because bugs come in through the window in the summer. But overall, I was very happy with the place!

It's in a really cool building kind of outside of Zurich but that is nice in that it is quiet and peaceful. It is a simple building but well-equipped. Close to the market pharmacy and train station. The staff is amazingly helpful and everything is clean. Great job!!

Pretty nice for a hostel. Clean, bathrooms / shower good, WiFi good, good kitchen, and staff was very helpful. Only down thing is parking during the day. U rely on street parking which can be difficult during day, but ok late at night. Do have to move car before 9am. Also, most guests I think are working nearby, not tourists. Seems like a nice town. Good bar options close by.
