Offering 24-hour reception, free public Wi-Fi and a spacious lounge area with flat-screen TV and billiards, Youth Hostel Zurich is 80 metres away from the Jugendherberge bus stop.

The Youth Hostel serves a typical Swiss breakfast as well as packed lunches and dinners. Snacks are available around the clock. STAFF - I liked them because they were friendly and funny plus they offer you advice and help also.. HOSPITALITY in the first place HOSTEL - it's good for people who'd like to meet new people across the world any age and learn something new.. overall it's a great safe place LOCATION - it's not so far from the city center and I loved that we didn't have to travel for a long time to get there.. it's just few corners away FOOD - I loved that the breakfast was included for us to start a day to explore the place LUGGAGE - even tho the check in was at 15:00.. we could leave a luggage in the locker room without waiting if we came early and that was realiving for us to not walk around the city with the luggage.. Good experience.. I recommend ✨️

Set in Stäfa, within 23 km of Zurich Opera House and 23 km of Bellevueplatz, Pilgerhüsli Backpacker offers accommodation with a garden and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The property is non-smoking and is situated 23 km from Grossmünster. It was very comfortable and affordable. We didn’t use the kitchen but it would be so nice if you’re looking to save money and/or staying for an extended period of time. It was a short walk to the lake/beach which was lovely. The host is very welcoming and accommodating. She drove us to the train station in her own car for no charge.

Depot 195 occupies a renovated brick building in a historic factory site in the centre of Winterthur, 500 metres from the train station. It offers a snack bar and free WiFi access.

The individually decorated rooms at Depot 195 - Hostel Winterthur come with a private bathroom. The dormitory rooms have access to shared bathrooms. I really liked the attitude of the stuff and systematic approach. Biggest kitchen I've seen yet, what really helped out and made me feel like a real human being. In the kitchen I had an access to frying oil and some leftovers from previous stays (like grated cheese and toasts), so I didn't need to buy butter or oil to just use a shot of it. The location was beautiful and just a few minutes from train station. Stuff took care of my belongings while I was already checked out and later allowed to take me a shower, what was very pleasant and helpful.

Attractively located in the centre of Zürich, Green Marmot Capsule Hotel Zürich features air-conditioned rooms, a terrace and free WiFi. The property is around 500 metres from Kunsthaus Zurich, 600 metres from Bahnhofstrasse and 500 metres from Paradeplatz. The property is non-smoking and is situated 200 metres from Grossmünster.

Popular points of interest near the hostel include Fraumünster, Bellevueplatz and Zurich Opera House. Zurich Airport is 12 km from the property. The location is really central in Zurich. Since it is a hostel, I would have expected to have noise from other people and maybe some disconfort concerning the rooms. But it was actually very quiet during the night and the beds were really comfortable. They also let us store our bags after checkout and when we came back to get them we could access the bathrooms to have one last shower before following the trip.
