• Agnieszka (10/5): -
• Bénédicte (10/5): - La vue sur le lac. La propreté des lieux (pas forcément le cas dans une auberge de jeunesse) Le large choix de nourriture au petit-déjeûner. Le matelas était un peu trop mou pour moi.
• Devid (8/5): -
• Werner (9/5): Super Unterkunft in kleinem Städtchen am See - - traumhafte Lage - nettes Personal - Ausstattung Zimmer - bequeme Betten - Sauberkeit - sehr gutes Frühstück - direkt am Bahnhof - leichtes wahrnehmaberes Geräusch (Brummen) in Zimmer 107, was aber die Nachtruhe nicht gestört hat.
• Violetta (8/5): - Die Lage am See ist unschlagbar Der Kaffee war super Das Frühstück ist sehr einfach, aber ausreichend
• Matej (7/5): -
• Kaspar (7/5): Preis/Leistung passt gut und kombiniert man die Lage dazu, wird es gleich zu einem kleinen Paradies. - Frühstück, Lage und die historischen Gebäude haben mir sehr gut gefallen. Vom Bahnhof sind es gerade mal 2 Minuten zum Hostel. MIt einem Kaffee in der Hand am See in die Weite schauen, ist purer Luxus. Es war eine Schulklasse im Hostel, welche ab 7am Sonntags durch die Gänge getobt sind. Auch die freundliche Aufforderung hat nichts geholfen. Die Kissen sind zu gross und zu steif.
• Franziska (9/5): Schöne Lage direkt am See, freundliches Personal, alles da, was man braucht. - Lage am See Öffnungszeiten Reception, kein Self-Check-in
• Esther (7/5): es war wirklich gut für eine Nacht - Das Frühstück war einfach aber ok Die Lage wat traumhaft Das Bett war mir nicht bequem und es fehlte eine zusätzliche Decke
• Dusan (10/5): -

• Aline (9/5): È stato bello, mi è piaciuto molto - Struttura accogliente e comodo check-in Io sono celiaca, nella colazione inclusa non ho potuto mangiare niente
• Mirjam (8/5): - Wunderbare Lage mit Sicht auf den See, sehr bequemes Bett Lärmige Gruppe auf demselben Stockwerk bis spät in die Nacht
• Moritz (8/5): Es war ein toller und sehr gemütlicher Aufenthalt :)! - Tolles Frühstück! Sehr freundliches Personal. Die Zimmer waren auch sehr schön. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Die Duschen waren nicht ganz sauber (Das ist allerdings Jammern auf hohem Niveau :)…).
• Maria Paz (7/5): Bon - Un bon choix et produits régionaux de calité. Quand je suis arrivé vers 12h00 impossible de rentrer, c'était fermé, la comunicación c'est en alemán, je ne pas compris les conditions. Bon
• Tomasz (9/5): -
• Rita (8/5): - Das Personal Sauberkeit Grosse Flexibilität

• Manuela (10/5): Richterswill che magia ! - La posizione è fantastica e come nucleo famigliare avevamo la camera con balcone con vista lago e quindi questo aspetto ha sicuramente influenzato la mia valutazione. Anche la colazione è stata ottima con prodotti - pochi - ma di qualità e molto gustosi sia per grandi che per bambini. Staff davvero cordiale. Lo spazio condiviso è molto gioviale per tutta la famiglia con giochi per i bimbi ed un biliardino! nulla

• CHI MING (6/5): - 位置就在蘇黎世湖旁邊，方便下水游泳。前台的接待人員英語流利，介紹的很詳細，而且態度親切。 房間面向鐵軌及24小時停車場，所以時常有噪音，半夜仍然十分惱人，清晨四點多就有火車疾駛而過，怕吵的人要慎思。房間沒有空調，所以夏天一定要開窗，但就會有噪音及各種昆蟲飛進來的問題。早餐十分普通，而且補齊食材的速度很慢，負責食材的大姊看起來十分煩躁，當初訂房的房價就有含早餐，所以不清楚早餐是否要另外付費，不建議付費使用早餐。共用衛浴整體還算整潔，但男女共用還是會有點尷尬，衛生紙用完了也沒有備品可用。
• Linda (8/5): Optimal für ein paar Nächte - Lage direkt am Wasser. Zimmer & Duschen waren Sauber. Frühstück vielfälltig. Sanitäreinlagen sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Das ganze Haus ist hellhörig.

• Mina GHATTAS (5/5): Veraltete Aisstattung - Schöne Lage, Frühstück war spartanisch aber oK Sehr schlechte Zimmerausststtung. Es fehlte eine Ablage und Licht am Bett.

• Bettina (9/5): - Top Lage direkt am See!! Bistro direkt dabei bis 22.00 geöffnet. Alles super
• Christian (6/5): - Sehr beengte Zimmer, Sauberkeit im Nassbreich und den Toiletten war nicht gut, Essen sehr lieblos, aber eben Juhe
• Sabina (10/5): Great location, great views, easy access by public transport to nearby Zurich - This youth hostel’s location, right next to lake Zurich, is ideal for open air swimming (water temperature in July 25 was 24oC!), ; the towns of Zurich or Rapperswil are easily reached by public transport. Good base for several hiking tours too. The views out of the windows are stunning too. Breakfast buffet was excellent The included breakfast should extend to 10am

And there was a good breakfast in the morning. Only one problem was, wi fi was not working in my room. But honestly I didn’t mind it so much.
• Offical (7/5): Good -
• Hanna (8/5): A relaxing stay with the family - Excellent location by the lake and a short walk away from the train station. The hostel was clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed breakfast and a possibility to have a quick dip in the lake. We found the hostel expensive compared to the other places we have stayed previously, however it seems to be in line with overall prices in Switzerland. It is a stunning but very expensive country.
