It was clean and included breakfast. I liked the large lockers in the room. However, it is not walking distance from the train station or the main sites, and transportation is difficult in the late hours when the trams stop and infrequent expensive night busses begin. If you are going out to clubs, you might have to take a taxi home which is very expensive in Zurich. Wireless internet is available in the mainfloor common area. I noticed that there were people of all ages at the hostels, including seniors and children. It's economically good for Zurich, but not the easiest for meeting new travel friends because the atmosphere is somewhat sterile.

Breakfast was the best since i have traveled nations for example, cereal, yogurt(plain and buleberry, bread, chocholete and so on.)

It was by far the most expensive hostel on my trip around 5 European towns. I don't know if this is because everything is much more expensive in Zurich.

I love this place and I keep coming back again and again. It is a little out of the city centre but really easy to get to via the No7 tram or Wollishofen station. I actually really like the location. The rooms are always clean and beds really comfortable. The breakfasts are brilliant and I find it quite easy to socialise with people in the large communal area (although some people do just sit glued to their laptops I find!). Only negative is the amount of plug sockets in the main area as there are only 2/3 on the wall - there are a few in the floor but they don't fit the international plug adaptors as they are deep, which is a little annoying as people often hog the wall sockets. Other than that perfect, I will be back :)
