Selda's has a garden, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Schaffhausen. Located around 49 km from Zoo Zurich, the hostel with free WiFi is also 50 km away from ETH Zurich. The property is non-smoking and is situated 48 km from Zurich Exhibition Hall.

The whole staff and especially the manager are top notch. The location is perfect, 1 minute walk from the train station. The rooms are huge for it's location, and the price is extremely reasonable. I definitely recommend this hotel and I'm looking forward to be a guest there soon again!

The Hotel Zak is located right in the car-free centre, 3 minutes' walk from the Schaffhausen Train Station. Free Wi-Fi is available in the the entire building.

It offers simply furnished rooms with shared bathrooms and flat-screen TVs. All rooms are reachable by elevator.

Best option for travelers who got stuck in Switzerland due to Deutschebahn cancelling their train, as they are prone to do. Cheap, comfy, quiet, and close both to the city centre and the railway station.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The property is in a great location and the room was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was small but adequate and had all amenities. The staff were very helpful and responsive. They provided us with a kettle when we requested one, gave us dining recommendations and brought us a heater when we discovered the heating in the room and the heated towel rail were not working.

    The staff was really helpful and full of empathy. I had a really long and difficult trip and arrived after 'hours'. Debora had kept dinner that I had ordered but by the time I arrived I just couldn't do with dinner. They didn't charge me with it the day after and were really nice with it. I also liked the fact that in a Youth Hostel not all were too young/old to be there.
