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.
