Youth Hostel Zurich is fairly large and on first glance seems more like a hotel than hostel. There is twenty-four-hour reception and no lockout time. If you don't already have one, it's adviseable to buy a hostel card because it works out to be quite expensive if you intend to stay more than one night.
The rooms are a good size and clean. Each has a sink and lockers (with a returnable deposit) in a joining room and bedding is included in the price. There are separate gender toilets and the showers are separate cubicles. Again all very clean and nice and bright!
Facilities at the hostel are good. Breakfast is included and there is a fairly decent choice. It finishes at 9:30 though. There is also the option of dinner for a small price, which is a lot cheaper than most restaurants in the area. There is a large common room area with pool table, pinball machine, and bar. It is however not really a backpacker-type hostel, as it is a bit spread out so people keep to themselves. Snacks and transport tickets are available at reception amongst other things. Internet access is good, and there is also a webcam at each of the four computers.
Getting to the hostel is easy enough once you have worked out the main train station! Take the number 7 tram to stop Morgental. From there is is a five-minute walk (turn back on yourself and take the left fork of the road) or you can take the bus 33 which stops opposite the hostel. Overall, the hostel has everything you would need and good access to the city.
