Great place to stay, inclusive breakfast is very basic but good. I do recommend paying the extra 7CHF to have a better selection, it is worth it and cheap for Zürich! Staff were great and helpful, bar downstairs was nice and popular with the locals as well
The shared bathroom door did not lock when I arrived but it was quickly fixed

I like the location because its in old town, its 20mnts walk from zurich haupbanhof, use tram if u bring heavy luggage! Clean toilet. Good value since its zurich.
They strictly do check in around 3pm, my case 2.30pm. We arrive early morning and they dont let us rest even in common room. If u arrive early u should think what to do because u cant rest here. Small room. Staff can be nicer! :)

PoorFeb 20201.0
Good location. It is located in old town and accessible to all places in Zurich. Zurich HB is a 10-15min walk.
- management was horrible to deal with. They were rude, unfriendly and unapproachable. I was verbally attacked by the manager of the property for an issue that was out of my control. - I would not recommend this property to female travellers. There were major safety issues whilst I was at this property that made me feel very uncomfortable and unsafe. - I cancelled a night of accomodation at this property due to my personal safety concerns and no refund or compensation was given. I left the property with the manager yelling and screaming at me. Very unprofessional and rude on their behalf. - many of the powerpoints and outlets do not work and therefore I was unable to charge any of my devices - insufficient storage facilities within the room. Although there are lockers in the common rooms there needs to be storage provided within the room. - Rooms are very hot and damp. - there was blood on my pillow and sheets upon arrival which is not hygienic - 4 bedroom female dorm is very very very small and there is no room to move around and store baggage. - a lot of the showers do not work and a lot of the doors do not lock - for the additional money the breakfast is not worth it. Overall this property made me feel very unsafe and therefore I would not be recommending this property to anyone in the future.
