    breakfasts have become poorer compared to my previous visits. but this is the cheapest place to stay in this wonderful town, so I’m very happy with that!

    I liked the attitude of the staff. it was raining and I was tired from the road, tea could only be taken at dinner, which was over, but the man at the reception offered me free tea. that was very kind of him! Thank you very much, it warmed me up! This is the third time I have stayed in this hostel and, as always, everything is impeccable! magical mattress, cozy bedding, cleanliness!

    Not in tourist area, a little bit more walk from Zug station, but it is ok for 10 minutes walking. All staff are very nice and kind to support. The breakfast is really nice with different choices. Strongly recommended to stay there.

    The staff when I got there was somehow mean to me. He asked me my name and since my name in other language has confused people in Switzerland so many times, I didn’t directly reply. Then he got impatient and seemed annoyed. Though another staff on the next day was nice!

    Unlike some hostels, this place has a lift! It’s clean and comfortable. Close to a small train station. There isn’t a special or an unforgettable place to come but definitely a nice play to stay while traveling.

    An old fashioned hostel missing the mark.

    The room has a bit of a musty smell, but this went after opening the window (I imagine that could be a problem in winter though). There are only x2 shower and toilet units on a floor which must have 20+ beds, and with breakfast 7-9 and checkout at 10, this means you likely need to wait in line. There were no towels, and not even a soap dispenser in the showers. This is an old building, and an authentic means of reliving the coldness of 1960's architecture and hostelling, whilst paying 2020 prices.

    Whilst the price (€60 for a bed in a shared dorm) might seem like extortion, it's cheap for the region, as is made up for by the breakfast which would cost you €25 anywhere else. I arrived late after a missed train, and staff left me a key/instructions with no hassle.

    The hostel is close to the train stations Zug and Zug-Schutzengel so that one can easily walk. It is also close to lake Zugersee with a nearby little (grass) beach. The hostel is clean and the staff friendly. The food is also good, with tasty vegetarian and vegan options. Children can play in the backyard.

    Reception is easy and with clear explanations. Everyone is very welcome and friendly. The room space is small but has a big and easy-to-use locker system inside to keep your belongings safe. Breakfast is great; it has a lot of fresh and healthy choices. I was pleasantly surprised and will come again in the future for sure :)

    Staff was nice. Lockers at the reception floor and lockers inside the dorm are big enough without smell. The breakfast was excellent and the location of the hostel is very near to the Zug coast.
