Great location close to main train station and the lake. Staff was very helpful and genuine. Breakfast was great! Was hoping for a/c in lobby during heatwave but there was none so that was disappointing. It was very hot in the rooms. No fans. Overall a nice stay.

All the services were great except the patchy wifi in the rooms. That made it really inconvenient to connect in the comfort of your bed. Would suggest improving wifi connectivity in the rooms.

This is one of the safest hostels I’ve ever stayed in anywhere. Locker storage is abundant with large lockers outside every room. Key entry into rooms and bathrooms is very efficient. Quick walk away from the lake and many restaurants and bars.

8/10 Very good

Very clean and well organised. The cash deposit for use of the fridge was annoying as you return the key, it's because you're leaving, and now you have 30CHF that you might never need again. The kitchen was locked until 8am on Sunday but reception helped me to access my food in time to make my flight. Lots of supermarkets nearby but not sure if I'd feel safe going out at night. Comfy beds, I slept very well.
