Clean, and pleasant. We had a private room with shared bathroom and only stayed one night. The facility was clean and we would reccomend it to others. Beware in case you arent prepared.... Switzerland is VERY expensive. More

One of the best hostels that i've stayed in in Europe. Friendly staff on reception, great spacious rooms with comfy beds. Showers were always clean and never a queue. The hostel is right in the centre of the town, theres a bar just downstairs but was very quiet. Very big common room, great for meeting new people,and the kitchen is... More

I stayed in a private double room with a friend while travelling around europe. The hostel is good, the rooms are decent and clean. There is a common room with games etc. The staff were helpful, although the office hours were short. When we arrived before opening time there was someone there to look after our luggage for us. The... More

First of all, it is a hostel, not a hotel. Ignore the "Hotel Glocke" in the name. I was already aware of this, but may be important for other future guests. But it is a very organized hostel, with clean rooms, good toilets (but not as good showers). Is is very well located in the middle of the city centre... More

The bunk I stayed in had just 50% occupancy. Each bed was equipped with a reading light and power socket. Large lockers were assigned to each bed for the storage of luggage. The lounge was big, clean and comfortable to sit in. Staff were extremely friendly in giving directions. The toilet was clean. It was located very near the clock... More

We stayed there in a double ensuite room but we were looking for the hostel atmosphere and you get it whenever you go to the common kitchen area. Room was actually large for what we expected, bathroom was good enough. Wonderful location -- right in the middle of the old town and within a walking distance (1 km) from the... More

We stayed in a 6 bed dorm, however two beds were empty (which was nice!) - shared bathroom on the floor. This hostel had a fully equipped kitchen that was fantastic, with EVERYTHING you need. There was also a nice common area, and a board with a lot of information about local places to eat and visit. Small elevator in... More

Excellent staff! This hostel also has the most information posted out of anywhere to help you get to know the city you are staying in, as well as things to do in and around. Great security. Great facilities, best equipped kitchen I have ever used in a hostel, maybe even better than my own home... Amazing hostel. Only downside, could... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights and really enjoyed it. We stayed in a 6 bed mixed dorm and when we checked in and the man on reception saw that we were a couple he assigned us two bunks that were pretty much sectioned off from the other 4 by a wall so it was nice that... More
