It was an old hotel style. Shared bathrooms, showers, and toilets were occupied by groups, which made me feel uncomfortable. I was also worried about the creak of the floor and the sound of opening and closing the door. I was shocked because it was the first time for me to put on and take off the bedspread by myself at a hotel. Breakfast is standard and you do the cleaning yourself. Many children were using it, and it was a noisy time.

The hostel is in an old villa. ||||Room was clean and so was the common bathroom. It is different from most hostels that give private bathrooms to private rooms. Here all rooms need to use the common bath (toilet/shower). …

This is a great place for families. Tons of room inside and out. They offer meals and even have a piano. Very cool old building-- not modern, but clean and well taken care of. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Not super close to downtown and the station, but not super fast either (10-15 min walk)

I arrived at night to find the receptionist waiting for us to get us to our beds. Great authentic furniture and amazing arkitekturen from the old days. The hostel offers a breakfast that is not bad if you dont have your coffee and not ready with any snaks.

I loved staying here as the place has so much character. Like an old castle with a spiral concrete staircase and its towers. Toilets and showers were good and there was a good breakfast. …

Youth hostels are in general a good cheap stay for the night from my personal experience, but this one was different from the others I've stayed at. The building was very beautiful. Somewhere between a church and a castle. …

All very simpel but not of bad quality. The people are nice and the breakfast is simple but fine. It's a good place to stay with a big group. The distance to the city centre is a 15 minute walk.

My wife and I stayed here with our 3 children for three nights in Oct. We'd heard great things about the Swiss Youth Hostels and became members. Each of our three nights was miserable!! …
