Liked: Best hostel I've been in. Great location, excellent price, and various conveniences thrown in it's all good. Friendly and very helpful staff.

Disliked: The breakfast spread suited me fine - I'm perfectly happy with a good cereal or museli and yoghurt, but it misses a couple of things I've seen in other places like savoury options of meat and cheese. So if you're like me you'll be sweet, otherwise maybe visit a bakery, or just drink a cup of concrete and you'll be fine. Also, I stayed in the old timber chalet (but tastefully renovated and quite modern inside) part of the hostel - there is a new modern wing too. The old part comes with timber floors that flex when someone walks around in your room, so your bed gets shaken and light sleepers like me don't like that. A small annoyance really 'cos the room was otherwise excellent, with a balcony and awesome views.

Disliked: Some problems using the house computers for internet.

Liked: Everything! The best of the best, not only compared to other hostel across the continent, but the service impressed me more than any 5 star hotel ever do. One of the staff, Barbara, was head to heels on helping me checking out at that dawn, and -in doing so- she was making sure that I'm not going empty handed. She was persistant on making me a good coffee to go, to warm me out while I run for the train I'm trying to catch. How great is that!

Disliked: NOTHING. Impecable cleanliness, perfectly organized, heartfull service, etc etc. Definately nominating this hostel as the best of the best.

Liked: It had a free breakfast, which was a really good breakfast. The staff were friendly, the tokens which they give you give you free hot drinks and/or internet and so is really convenient since most other hostels in switzerland only have free wifi. There weren't so many showers, but they were kept clean. And you get a locker to keep all your stuff which is good as well. There is also an amazing view of the mountains from the rooms. There are two kitchens and both are really well stocked so you don't really have to wait to cook your food.

Disliked: The rooms get a bit stuffy at night, and it's too cold to keep the window open.

Liked: One of the poshest hostel i have ever seen. Nice atmosphere, where you see family and everyone about. Excellent kitchen and washing facilities. The rooms are new. Free internet wifi. Excellent facilities like kitchen, washing and storage. Its very quite!

Disliked: Its too expensive. Maybe i should pay about 20% more for a hotel, if you are travelling with a partner. However price is ok if u are travelling in a group of 4 or individual. price is the same for 2 and 4 apparently. Certain staff are friendly and some are preety grumpy at reception. If you came to this hostel hoping to meet other backpackers and have a party and laugh, this is not the place. Its too expensive for young backpackers to visit, however its an excellent place for family with children travelling on a budget. It seems more like a sefl catering accomodation rather than a backpackers hostel.

Liked: Stayed in the new wing, everything was clean. Brekky was good, basic but loads available. They give two tokens per nights stay to use in the hot drinks machine or washing machine. All reception staff are very knowledgible about the area and able to book activities for you. free carparking was great, left the car for our entire stay as the Villa is so close to toiwn/train station etc.

Disliked: About the only poor thing.....the rooms were very warm. We had to fight our Korean roomies to keep the window open at night, the only way we could stay comfortable.
