Set in Stäfa, within 23 km of Zurich Opera House and 23 km of Bellevueplatz, Pilgerhüsli Backpacker offers accommodation with a garden and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The property is non-smoking and is situated 23 km from Grossmünster. It was very comfortable and affordable. We didn’t use the kitchen but it would be so nice if you’re looking to save money and/or staying for an extended period of time. It was a short walk to the lake/beach which was lovely. The host is very welcoming and accommodating. She drove us to the train station in her own car for no charge.

Depot 195 occupies a renovated brick building in a historic factory site in the centre of Winterthur, 500 metres from the train station. It offers a snack bar and free WiFi access.

The individually decorated rooms at Depot 195 - Hostel Winterthur come with a private bathroom. The dormitory rooms have access to shared bathrooms. We spent only one night, but it was great being there. The place has a "charm" of its own. All clean, goods and spacious rooms, well located (if you like beer, there is an amazing brewhouse just on the next door). Breakfast was not included, but we could pre-order the night before and the next day we received it fresh from the nearby suppliers ;-)

1.4 km from Bahnhofstrasse, Stay2Night City Center Hostel is located in Zürich and provides free WiFi and express check-in and check-out. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a terrace. Fraumünster is 1.7 km away and Grossmünster is 1.9 km from the hostel. The staff was pretty nice, greetings to Oscar and the owner!, the location might give you a wrong vibe of what it really is. It’s not even dangerous, just a “curious” city block tho :) you can chill, no need to actually worry about! Best Cheap option in center, next to train station (Hauptbahnhof). Enjoy the city!
