The Hostel is ideally situated just a short walk from Zug Railway Station. It is very welcoming and spacious. We had a room with our own bathroom and it was spotlessly clean. There was some noise from other guests (a school or college trip I imagine) but it wasn’t for long. Breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice. Lovely evening swim in the lake. I am an older guest (65) and I would highly recommend this hostel. We will be using hostels again in Switzerland.

Great location. Good breakfast. Good buffet dinner (19.50chf, not served every day). Friendly staff, will answer questions if you ask, but...
The information on the zug card discount was only in German and the staffs don't let you know about it unless you ask. And even then, the explanation was very vague, they don't tell you about the discount code unless you ask AGAIN. They do give you the information once you repeatedly ask.

Really friendly and helpful staff.
- Great location, close to the lake, there's a small train station just down the road and the main Zug station is about a 15 min walk away. The surroundings are really peaceful.
- The free breakfast was tasty, loved the inclusion of meats/cheeses.
- The hostel was really clean, it has simple facilities but everything you need for a short stay.
Overall, great value for money!
The pillows were a bit lumpy and not too comfortable.
- If you're staying at the same time as a school trip, it can get a little noisy.

Good resting zone outside. Standard breakfast.
The woman at the reception was the rudest person I met in Switzerland :)
From the very greeting, I don't see any reason to talk with a guest like that. Passive aggressive tone because you were in the middle of celebration and had to open the reception 10 minutes earlier to check us in? We already told that we can wait and that's not a problem to us. Don't do us a favour and then act like we own you something. We come here to sleep, not to piss you off or hear that we should at least smile.
Also the toilet door handle had some unknown substance on it. No soap in the bathroom.

It was good that U could check in before the indicated time, as I arrived in the morning by night flight and wanted to take rest.
Due to the bed assignment my room was far from ladies toilet, close from men’s.

Quiet location, even though there were lots of kids, I couldn't hear them. Breakfast was included.
There really need to be curtains on the beds. Also, if I'm paying a lot of money for a simple hostel, at least I don't expect to put on the sheets and bring them to laundry myself.

As the title includes the word youth, you would expect it to be the typical hostel full of students traveling the globe 🌎 But it’s not!!! From students to families with kids and professionals – you can find everything!
I can’t recommend this hostel highly enough. Super clean, with comfortable beds, not crowded and with an amazing variety in breakfast – best hummus I had in my life! Fantastic views partly to the lake and in walking distance to the train station (approx. 7 minutes). Nice and safe area. The rooms have excellent sound proofing, so you are not disturbed by external noise when in the room.
I booked a bed in a 6-bed room and the privacy and space I had during my stay in the hostel, I haven’t even had in 5 star hotels. Will be back definitely!
If you are a late sleeper be advised that the cleaning 🧹 staff does come in the room in the morning until 10:00 regardless. But for a couple of minutes.
