The Zurich Youth Hostel became one of the most modern of the world- open round the clock, so you can really get to know Zurich, the little city on a global scale. The hostel has a roomy entrance hall and a spacious inner courtyard for the international globe-trotting community to meet good cuisine, comfortable rooms in a quiet city location close to the lake.
Zurich Youth Hostel - where people meet
Chat about your last Asian or American trip in the big entrance hall, exchange information and trips on the leisure activities on offer in Zurich, pick up the latest international news headlines on the big-screen TV while eating a snack or play a game of billiards - all of this at any time, around the clock, 365 days a year.
Of course, you can also get a good night's sleep here; comfortable rooms with between two and five beds are available. Are you about to continue your European tour or do you want to discover more of Zurich "Downtown Switzerland"? In 20 minutes you can be at the main railway station or the city centre. 10 minutes on foot take you to the banks of Lake Zurich. A little bit further and you come to the new "Rote Fabrik" (Red Factory) cultural centre. The green, unpopulated part of Zurich is only a five minutes' walk away.
Before rushing out in every direction in the morning, don't miss the breakfast buffet. From six until half past nine in the morning, you'll find everything that belongs to a real Swiss breakfast!
Historic Youth Hostel Zurich
The ceremony for the “Historic Hotel of the Year 2008” award was held in the prize-winning Hotel Schatzalp in Davos. The Zurich Youth Hostel and the Swiss Youth Hostels Association received the special 2008 award "for a thoughtful and successful conversion of a 1960s building and an outstanding business philosophy in the area of social tourism".
The Zurich Youth Hostel was built between 1962 and 1965. An old school building had been available to the Youth Hostels Association as a hostel since as long ago as 1936. The renowned architect Ernst Gisel created a building in which the various functions (dining, day rooms, sleeping) were clearly allocated to individual building blocks. During the comprehensive renovation in 2003/04, it was possible to retain the atmosphere and original form. Since 1998, the youth hostel has been listed among the buildings worthy of protection in the city of Zurich.
