Description of Youthhostel Zurich
The Zurich Youth Hostel became one of the most modern of the world- open round the clock, so you can really get to know Zurich, the little city on a global scale. The hostel has a roomy entrance hall and a spacious inner courtyard for the international globe-trotting community to meet good cuisine, comfortable rooms in a quiet city location close to the lake. Zurich Youth Hostel - where people meet. Chat about your last Asian or American trip in the big entrance hall, exchange information and trips on the leisure activities on offer in Zurich, pick up the latest international news headlines on the big-screen TV while eating a snack or play a game of billiards - all of this at any time, around the clock, 365 days a year. Of course, you can also get a good night's sleep here; comfortable rooms with between two and five beds are available.

“ A bit far out, but a tram (15 minutes) takes you directly into the heart of the city. Excellent, new, clean facilities, including very good showers and bathrooms and sizeable lockers for storage (both require only a deposit).

“ Clean, bright, totally up to date. Rooms were pretty tiny, even for four beds, which made mornings a challenge. The showers and bathrooms are in a common wing, so they tended to get crowded post-breakfast. Internet was expensive, but good deal on dinner for 17 CHF at the bar. Wish it was closer... ”

“ Jugenhernerge was a great place to spend the night while in Zurich, with only one drawback. The hostel is pretty far from downtown Zurich (nightlife, museum, shopping, restaurants, etc.) and it was sort of a trek to get anywhere of interest. That being said, the public transportation is reliable... more ”

“ This hostel is mostly perfect with good customers service, good facilities and comfortable. I love their breakfast; rich and enough to have late lunch. I willing to come back to this hostel again in the future. Only the location is quite far from city center but not difficult to get into it. ”

“ Youth Hostel's facilities were always clean and ready for use - breakfast was excellent. Lacks any form of charm, and some of the staff members need to be more patient particularly when the guest's politeness is not being returned. Overall a good stay though. ”

“ The rooms at this hostel are really nice. The beds are comfy, everything is clean, and the lockers in a separate room is a great idea so to not disturb your roommates in the morning/evening. Shame it is so far out of town, but apart from that, a great hostel. Great breakfast too. ”

“ Disappointingly unlike a hostel - but typical of HI hostels the world over. Big, impersonal and this has the cheek to charge 30 Euro a night for a four bed dorm. No kitchen that you can use, 25 minutes by tram away from the centre of Zurich. But on the plus - clean and new if a bit sterile ”

“ Big, Clean, Boring. Pretty much sums up the place. Expensive to do Laundry. It shouldn't be called a "youth" hostel because it was full of old people and families with little kids. Also a good 15 min tram ride from downtown. ”

“ This hostel looked nice, but the staff had rude attitudes, there was no kitchen, so we had to buy their very expensive dinner which was extremely average. Dorms are small and beds not great. This hostel was very expensive and out of the centre. Not worth it, not recommended. ”
