Once upon a time it was a historic 17th-century house serving the people of Solothurn as a trading and customs house, a warehouse, a theatre and finally as a schoolhouse. A modern steel and glass construction was put into the house and it was opened as a youth hostel in 1994. The architecture highlights the separate areas for sleeping, recreation and seminars. The bedrooms, for example, are little houses within a house - forget the sleeping bag, you'll dream the Nordic way here.Free WiFi AccessGuests, who do not want to buy a member card for one year can buy at the hostels' reception a member card for one day (entry card). This membership will cost CHF 6.- per person/night or CHF 12.- per family/night.
