Very convenient location next to a bus stop. Bathrooms were not very clean, but serviceable. Only two toilets for our floor which created a bit of an issue at times. No towels were provided. Excellent buffet breakfast. Superb common areas for lounging and dining.

Lovely friendly staff and dinner is great value for money! Comfy bed and fine shower. Cool chill area. Tip: tram 7 goes to and from this property from Zurich main station, unless you want to spend your holiday budget very fast on a taxi this is your best option!

Its like a dorm for a student not for a tourist.

Check in at 15 noon. No towels, shampoo, soap. And above all COMMON toilet and bathroom. Breakfast composed only of 3 choices: ham, salami and servelat. They have cereals, jam and yougart, coffee and tea. But Danile very accomodating and helpfull. Take the trikk number 7 to the main street
