Good and comfortable stay

A very clean hostel and friendly staff members. I forgot my slippers and walked around the room and toilet with my bare feet and didn't feel much dirt. Close to the Zurich lake with beautiful neighbourhood. It is a bit far from Zurich centre but overall a very good stay.

Un nota di merito al cuoco, un ragazzo gentile una cucina super buona...... Ma un solo asciugamano per viso e corpo compreso biidet.. E un sacco lenzuolo per dormire.. Forse avessimo avuto vista lago.... Sarebbe stato diverso? La vista parcheggio cortile..con finestra non è stata di nostro gradimento. Non ci torneremo, la prossima volta sceglieremo meglio

Preis-Leistung okey

Bisschen abgelegen. Check-in erst 17:00 Uhr und Bettwäsche selber anziehen. Frühstück nur 1h. Ansonsten tiptop, sauber, ruhig, unkompliziert und der Preis stimmt auch..

Jugi mit wunderschöner Aussicht

In der Jugi in Rapperswil-Jona wird man freundlich in Empfang genommen und es wird unkompliziert gleich das Du angeboten. So habe ich mich in einem familiären Umfeld und wohl gefühlt. Ich habe ein 4er Zimmer gebucht und hatte das Privileg alleine zu sein. Auch das Essen schmeckt ausgezeichnet.
