I really enjoyed my time at Alplodge. There only seemed to be one member of the staff, but she was more than helpful. The rooms were nice and they had some of the best showers in all the places i've stayed. The internet was a rip-off, and also the breakfast. I know switzerland is expensive, but these prices were a little unrealistic for what you got. It's very close to the train staion and the trains come right past the hostel very frequently. But this is not the case at night so no worries about sleeping. The fire alarm went off twice in my 4 nights there. Once during the day and once at 5AM. I will definitly stay at Alplodge again.

We stayed in a very spacious double room in early january, and had a positive experience there. I would recommend this place to anyone Pros: Clean rooms and bathrooms Friendly and very helpful staff Good location, nice bar Lockers downstairs Reasonable prices Cons: No breakfast Can be loud at times

we ended up at the alp lodge because the happy inn was too booked to extend our stay, and had no problems. we paid 68 SFR for a private room with shared shower/WC next-door... fairly nice room, only complaint was no sink. i'm almost positive they have the same owners/management as happy inn (they are right down the street from each other), and we had the same good treatment by the staff. downsides: a little high price for the room, i thought; also, the other guests seemed to be older people/families, which was quite odd given the clientele at other hostels. overall, though, a solid hostel that you should have no problems at... other hostels are simply a bit better.
