Very good breakfast, cleanliness, comfort and facilities. Only one other person in the room as well which made it even better. Against that, I dislike having to pay 3 CHF for a towel

What you'd expect from a hostel of this size. Breakfast was plentiful and the dinner option was an added bonus. Rooms were small, but having a separate area for lockers and a sink was helpful. The WiFi was patchy in some areas. It is a bit out of town, but there are different bus and tram options nearby.

The facilities and breakfast were great and staff and was lovely. They had a storage room for luggage when I checked in early that was nice. Only issue was getting from the train to the hostel with luggage. There's a target large hill you have to walk up. Other than that it was a great stay!

The breakfast was good. It was quite annoying, after traveling all day, to get to the hostel and to have to make the bed. Most hostels make the bed for you, so this was unexpected.
