    The 8 bed bunkroom with only one power point. As it was pretty warm during the night a pedestal fan would have been appreciated.

    There were no issues. It’s a quiet hostel with spacious grounds. Ideal for Families with small children and cyclists. Good storage for bicycles. Reception was particularly friendly.

    The service did not seem very friendly, it was rather average. During the breakfasts there were a lot of wasps inside and outside, which bothered all the guests. The local guests came really late and very drunk to the shared room. There was only one charging socket and it was very high up on the wall. You could only charge while standing. The chargers didn't even reach the chair. There was not much privacy in the toilets and they were not very clean. The showers felt claustrophobic - small room without the possibility of air ventilation.

    The accommodation looks amazing from the outside and is in a quite quiet location.

    The room was cold and lots of loud children but there’s no way around that. Fine for low key chill people. Bring earplugs as you can hear people walk past/ up the stairs because it’s a wooden building. Very creaky! :)

    Pretty house, breakfast included, nice area and activities available.

    Only one socket in the whole room, with 8 beds in it. Bathroom had 6 sockets for 5 sinks, so maybe you are supposed to charge your things in there.

    Helpful staff, good breakfast, comfortable room and clean.

    The internet connection in our room was poor. Sometimes we have signals but most of the time don’t. We had to go downstairs to the lobby to get internet connection. The internet connection in the lobby was good.

    We stayed in a five beds room with a private bathroom. The room is big enough for the five of us. The beds were comfortable. The room and the bathroom were clean. Breakfast was according to european standard serving selections of breads, cheese and cold cuts. Yoghurt was excellent. The offered also cereals. Service was excellent, helpful and infornative. Bus ststion is around 5 minutes walk and from there you can take bus number 4 and 6 to th3 schaffhausen station and the old city of schaffhausen. Also can go from the bus station to Rhinefalls. Transport wise was convenient

    Strange experiences
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children

    Hotel with old atmosphere. Shared wash and shower rooms and toilets were privately owned by the group and were difficult to use. The creaking floor and the sound of the door opening and closing also felt old. Breakfast was general, but it was unfortunate that many children were eating noisily. I was surprised that this was the first time I had experienced doing my own bedspreads, etc. at the hotel I stayed at.

    The location was good with free parking and walking distance to major areas. It was fun to be able to rent a large area and playground equipment to play outside the hotel.

    The location was great, right near the hostel there is a bus stop, and the bus goes directly from/to the main railway station. My main destination was Rheinfall Waterfall, and I traveled with only one bus there and back. Breakfast was amazing, with very fresh bread, and a great choice buffet.

    Just live the all experience. I hadn't been in a youth hostel for years and this was a very positive experience indeed.

    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.

    The typical hostel showers, a bit too small.
