Stay in the heart of the city
This modern hostel with restaurant, bar and 24-hour reception is where travellers of the world unite. And Zurich is such a colourful place to be. In the sunny courtyard and bright rooms, backpackers feel just as at home as business travellers, seminar attendees or families.
Zurich is a business centre, a university city and a lively boutique metropolis on the waterfront. The city pulses with life both day and night, with its diverse gastronomic scene and the liveliest nightlife in Switzerland. But don’t worry, if you’re looking for relaxation, you’ll find it just as easily as the latest fashion trends find the famous Bahnhofstrasse. The lake, the green spaces and the abundant cafés offer many places to chill out. As the Zurichers say, “s isch immer Zyt für Züri!”, which roughly translates as “It’s always worth spending time in Zurich!”
