Zurich Youth Hostel

I had an amazing experience everything was absolutely perfect The location is great, close to public transport and just a short walk to the beautiful Lake Zurich. The hostel itself is modern, clean, and very well maintained. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to answer questions or give recommendations about the city. The rooms were comfortable, spacious, and spotless, with secure lockers and cozy beds. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, and the common areas were a great place to relax and meet other travelers. The overall atmosphere was warm and welcoming, which made my stay even better. I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Zurich it’s perfect in every way

I stayed for 2 days. It was not the best hostel I have been but it was good overall. Toilets and rooms were clean, staff was helpful, no complaints at all. The common areas are very large, easy to find a seat and relax. The neighborhood was clean, cozy and calm. The public transport is a little more than 5 min away from the hostel. The biggest negative for me is the room size. I had hard time to open my luggage. . Also, not all the guests seemed trustworthy and safe.

I stayed here for just one night. The hostel itself is huge with plenty of space to sit and relax. Check-in was smooth, and they even have a screen where you can buy tickets for major attractions. I was able to book the Lindt Chocolate Factory tour easily for the next day, which was great since it was sold out. The rooms are a decent size, though there’s no air conditioning, so it did get a bit warm. Beds were okay, but you have to make your own bed with the linen provided. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Overall, it has everything you'd expect from a good hostel, and the staff were friendly. However, I wouldn’t recommend this place for solo travellers. It felt really empty while I was there,I didn’t see anyone else on my floor for about three hours, and even downstairs it felt kind of isolated. It’s also a bit far from the city center, and coming back at night felt a little scary. Even during the day, the surroundings were pretty quiet. If you’re traveling in a group, it’s a solid choice. But if you’re alone, I’d probably look for something more social and central.

The staff went above and beyond to make sure I settled in despite my jet lag. The hostel itself is well managed, clean, modern, and accessible. Pretty good location near a bunch of hiking trails, grocery stores, and public transportation options to get to other parts of the city. Wifi is great, too. Pretty good place to co-work if I wanted to. Would stay here again

Stayed three nights. Clean. Welcoming. Spacious. Tram stop right in front. Solo traveler who enjoyed the quiet atmosphere. Great breakfast. Staff super friendly, especially Basem,. Would stay again .

I’m speaking from a personal experience. The staff were kind and helpful in general, but I had a serious issue during my stay. There was a situation with a dangerous guest, and instead of removing him from the hostel after all of the staff admitted that the person is crazy, they just moved me to another room. I feel they don’t know how to deal with this kind of situations to the point it didn’t made me feel safe. Safety should be a top priority, and I hope the hostel improves in this hostel.

I stayed in a private room with shared facilities and I enjoyed my experience. It was perfectly quiet at night and very clean, both within the room and in public spaces. I never saw anyone else using a shared shower or a toilet; the breakfast also offered a surprising variety of food and decent unlimited coffee.

This was a great stay - two family trip to Zurich to watch Euros football. We used a four bed bunk room - excellent accommodation to be fair, with a private bathroom. Food and refreshments good value in an otherwise expensive place. It’s a good base for sight seeing with plenty of regular public transport. Above all - the staff are excellent. They go above and beyond to be helpful and were very friendly.

I think this is the first HI hostel I've been to where it's not compulsory to be a HI member. 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.

This is a hostel located at prime location! You'll be close to everything in Zurich, perfect for tourism. I loved the rooms, the hangout areas, breakfast - all impressive! However, one thing that concerned us were, surprise parking fee which was not mentioned before. Overall it's pricey but maybe worth it!

Such a great hostel. Book on Hostelworld! Far enough from the craziness of Zurich Main Station but still very close. Just 3 stops away/8 min train ride. Here's what I love about this place..... Bathrooms are hostel efficient. Toilets and showers are separated so you don't have to wait to shower if someone is 'ing. Men and women toilets are separated which is great because some chicks are for real rachet. Breakfast is included! Food good enough. See pics. Each bed has it's own outlet and light. See pics for outlet type. Common area far from beds. Bar closes at 5am so it can get real loud. Speaking of which. BAR CLOSES AT 5AM!! Beer and wine. Tips to consider. Bring a towel or 2 franks. 10 frank deposit or leave driver's license. 2 frank coin for locker. Slippers for the common shower. Ear plugs and eye mask. It's a hostel. People come in and out. All in all a great experience. Thank you!!!

Good modern friendly hostel in a southern suburb. Easy to get back to in the evening, there is a big tram depot at Wollishofen so every second tram along Bahnhofstrasse is a 7 that will take you to Morgental, a 1 minute walk from the hostel.

Upon my arrival, the youth hostel situated on the outskirts of Zurich was not the most visually appealing building, but I was open to the new experience. The rooms here are by far the best part. The lockers are a nice touch for a sense of privacy. The beds are very comfortable, yet there were no towels included in the assortment of linens. Yet overall the rooms were wonderful. The bathrooms were very clean and pleasant. I was expecting them to be very unclean, yet I was happily surprised with a clean floor and stall, always stocked with paper towels and toilet paper. The showers were also very clean and private. Some lowlights of the trip included the lobby and the food. Initially arriving to the lobby there is a bowling-alley esque that feels reminiscent of a Chucky-Cheese. The food was very expensive (like most items in Zurich), and the complimentary breakfast did not have much variety, however the taste of the food was simple and enjoyable. The dinner quality was not worth the price. The lunch sandwiches were very good and the drink variety was refreshing! (But again overpriced). On a positive note, the staff was very helpful and kind. If you are young, and looking for a cheaper alternative to a hotel, this is the hostel for you! It does it's job, yet it's missing some essential amenities of any overnight hotel/motel/hostel.
