When I stayed here it was a very pleasant stay. They have free breakfast in the morning, toast, cereals and coffee/ tea which is great. The kitchen has a big fridge, microwave and little oven which is good for making your own lunch/dinner. Before I had read some reviews that say the hostel was dirty or loud- this is not true!!! It is not modern, but everything is clean and the toilets and showers are clean and there’s enough space. Maybe there could have been more activities but I still met many nice travellers here- they have info about pub crawls and walking tours, city maps which is helpful. Yes, it is not cheap but no where in Switzerland is cheap, don’t come to Zurich and expect it to be cheap! It was quite hot when I stayed and the room had a nice fan which was perfect. Definitely stay here if you need a hostel in Zurich! They let you check in late at night if you tell them before
