Youth Hostel Schaffhausen  

Perched in Schaffhausen in a small castle, this youth hostel sits within walking distance of the city center. It’s a short drive to Rhine Falls and close to Vorstadt and the IWC Museum. Family-friendly and ideal for budget travelers exploring medieval streets and nearby nature.

The vibe mixes historic charm with hostel simplicity — think castle walls, a terrace and a garden. There are 17 guestrooms with bathrooms and showers, plus a shared kitchen and a cozy library. Once a meeting point for writers and painters, it keeps a creative, communal feel.

On-site restaurant and complimentary Wi‑Fi. Arcade/game room, table tennis/ping-pong, picnic and barbecue areas, plus a children’s playroom. Tour/ticket assistance, luggage storage and lockers available. Parking on site (free parking zone for tourists; self-parking may incur charges).

Enjoy meals at the hostel restaurant and a complimentary buffet breakfast served daily from 7:30–9:00 AM. Guests can also use the shared kitchen to cook their own food.
