Good location, near the train station, and the bus stop is right in front of the hostel. The dinner option is also reasonable priced and value for money. The room and common areas were spacious. For the common shower rooms, suggest to add more hooks/racks to hang our stuff.

Good value for a 2 night stay
We had the room on the 4th floor with sheets and towels. It was reasonably clean and roomy. Even though there are few amenities in the room you could borrow a hairdryer or electric kettle from the front desk requiring a 10 franc refundable deposit per item.

Good Youth Hostel. It was clean and had lots of facilities such as lockers (in rooms and for before/after checkout), restaurant, lounge, bar and games rooms. A buffet breakfast was included and there was a lot of choice. It was good to be able to book dinner at the hostel which was great. It is a little bit out of the centre but there is a bus stop outside the hostel and the bus goes to the train station. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The hostel was all we needed as we only stayed one night after our Glacier Express Train ride. Dinner was good value. Breakfast was sufficient. The room was clean. Our only problem was that items went missing from our luggage left between check out and our return in the afternoon.

It’s a hostel. But no complaints.
My family of four stayed here in a 4 bunk room. Worked fine for us. Big warm room.
Cold breakfast was excellent.
With the exception of one of the guys, I found the front desk staff(girls) a bit abrupt and not as helpful as they could be.
Kitchen staff were awesome.
Bus 9 pulls up straight out the front with an easy to understand schedule. Goes to the train station which is great.
Great walk around the lake from the rear of the hostel.
