“The hostel's prime location in central Zurich makes it easy to get around. I particularly appreciate the communal kitchen and lounge, complete with complimentary breakfast items. While the rooms are spacious and secure, the slightly awkward placement of power outlets is a minor drawback to note; however, the cleanliness and provision of fans are a plus.”
