It is OK for one night stay. A simple room. All the basics are there and things are as described in the listing.

We had the room with two single beds and shared bathroom, which had a great view of the river frontage. Room was very well equipped and bathrooms were modern and very clean. Staff were super friendly and helpful.
Mattress and bedding were not of the highest quality but still totally acceptable for a Back-Packers.

Location is very convenient and ideal to visit Schaffhausen. Lots of nice shops and restaurants / bars nearby. Last but not least, view on the Rhine.
The hostel hosts are very friendly and welcoming.

Decent sized single room and modern bathroom facilities, all very clean. Surprisingly quiet (few other residents since a small hostel)! Friendly and helpful owner. Excellent location a stone's throw from the Rhine and boat landing for services towards Konstanz/Kreuzlingen, and close to restaurants. Would recommend for a solo traveller.
Room view into courtyard wasn't great, but someone has to have the room at the back -- others may be better! Shared bathroom could do with a lock so you can shower in privacy (the toilet within does have one).

Excellent location and quiet. Comfortable and well equipped room. Modern shower and toilet facilities.
The room was quite small. I would have appreciated breakfast and would pay more for it.

This is the perfect stopover for cycle-tourists on the Swiss National Route 2 /EuroRoute 6 bike path. It is actually on the Rhine close to one of the bridges and very central close to the old town The accommodation is simple yet comfortable. Even the separate bathroom was dedicated for exclusive use by the occupant of my room because of Covid-19 restrictions. There is space to park bikes indoors on the property. Meals are not obtainable at the moment but plenty of alternative possibilities in the shopping area close by. The patronne is very helpful & friendly.
Possibly better location information, I used 'Here We Go' to find the property and had problems. This could however, be due to my navigation App itself! Booking.com should say, for example, 'immediately next to carpark by old town Rhine bridge'.

Very good location, right in the beautiful old Town, by the river, but still quiet. Simple and clean accomodation. Nice and flexible staff, I was able to check-in earlier. I also got my own bathroom even though I payed for shared, because of COVID-19 regulations. 👍
The only bad thing is that smoking is allowed in the restaurant downstairs, where also the "reception" is. Otherwise I would probably have spent some time there.
