This is one of the safest hostels I’ve ever stayed in anywhere. Locker storage is abundant with large lockers outside every room. Key entry into rooms and bathrooms is very efficient. Quick walk away from the lake and many restaurants and bars.

Very clean and well organised. The cash deposit for use of the fridge was annoying as you return the key, it's because you're leaving, and now you have 30CHF that you might never need again. The kitchen was locked until 8am on Sunday but reception helped me to access my food in time to make my flight. Lots of supermarkets nearby but not sure if I'd feel safe going out at night. Comfy beds, I slept very well.

Overall ok, nothing special. Lockers were outside of your room. Showers shut-off after 30 seconds, requiring you to keep hitting a button. No soap dispenser as well. Also towel are extra. Breakfast was average, but expensive. Not a social hostle at all.
