Liked: Amenities
Everything was well-run and the staff were all welcoming and hospitable. The shared bathrooms and showers were in great shape and always clean. Our only “complaint” was really just a suggestion: air hand dryers in the bathrooms instead of paper towels. The paper towels were above average in quality and we appreciated that, but we felt hand dryers might be more ecological. Overall, a great value for the money and well organized.

Good place but hot during the heat season
It is a fair experience, given the cost of the hostel. It would be nicer though if they had considered putting a fan inside the rooms during heat seasons.
You’ll need 2Fr coin btw to use their storage locker but you’ll get it back anyway.

Booked on a Quad Room with the 2-bunk beds, shared T&B on Aug 16-19,2023. Just very warm on summer days thus we opened the windows while on beds just to get fresh air. Around 8mins walk to local bus stop, 8-10mins going to the Centre. Breakfast included and good enough to start your day. You have to pay extra for towel at €3.00 each however linens are free. Warm Receptions a plus yet up to 7pm only.

It was my first hostel experience, and my only complaint is I did not know they had a laundry service until I left, I wish they advertised this somewhere, because I took the bus to do laundry. I also wish that they had fans for the room. Other than that the stay was perfect, and convenient

After spending my youth going through hostels, i wasnt expecting much, since prices in switzerland are generally very high, but we were very pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. Only downside is no ac in the room ans it was quite warm. But the windows openes (no screen) so it worked. Bathroom facilities were top notch.
