Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: This hostel is in a very central location and is cheap. I had no problem to check-in. I paid for the 3-berth room. The room and its WC were clean. A lock mechanism is present, ensuing safety in the room. I did not have to wait to use the shower.
Negative: The pillow was too firm, making it hard to sleep. In addition, in the 3-berth room, you are just above the street; don't expect the curtains to fully block the light.
Summary: Not the most confortable place to stay but a good price in central Zürich
