Excellent location with bus line directly to the airport. New building with wonderful breakfast and amicable staff. Laundry service costs 10 CHF but it's worth the money.

Bon établissement, fonctionnel et personnel très bien. Chambre spacieuse et installations récentes. En revanche, salle de bain qui n’était pas complètement propre à l’arrivée et pas d’eau chaude ce matin quand j’ai pris ma douche (jai du me doucher à l’eau froide à 5h30 du matin). Ce youth hostel donne sur une avenue importante donc par moments c’est un peu bruyant. C’est dommage parce que la localisation n’est pas mauvaise à mi chemin entre l’aéroport et la gare cornavin.

Die Jugendherberge wurde vor einer Woche eröffnet. Noch ist einiges nicht vollständig installiert. Die Umgebungsarbeiten beginnen morgens um 06 Uhr sehr geräuschvoll. Die Zimmer sind geräumig. Für (Durch)Reisende ist ideal gelegen; der Hauptbahnhof und Flughafen sind, mit ÖV, rund 15 Minuten entfernt. Entsprechend ist die Umgebung recht laut.
