A calm private room in a sociable hostel setting
Private Room Teal sits inside Studio 111 Hostel at Froburgerstrasse 7 in Olten, a compact Swiss city positioned almost exactly at the geographic centre of Switzerland. The building occupies a quiet residential street within easy walking distance of Olten's main train station — one of the busiest rail junctions in the country — making this room a genuinely practical base for anyone moving around Switzerland by train.

The room itself is designed around simplicity. The teal colour palette that gives the space its name carries through in considered details rather than overwhelming the walls. Clean lines, white surfaces, and uncluttered furnishings create a space that feels calm after a day of travel. The bed is made up with fresh linen before every arrival, and the room is maintained to the same standard you would expect from a well-run hotel — with the added social dimension of a hostel common area available whenever you want it.
Olten is often overlooked by visitors who pass straight through on intercity trains, but the old town along the Aare river rewards a slower pace. There are independent cafes, a covered wooden bridge, and a surprisingly active cultural scene for a city of its size. The Kunstmuseum Olten, the old town walls, and the pedestrianised centre are all reachable on foot from the hostel in under fifteen minutes.
Studio 111 is hosted by Rachel Wyss, who manages the property with a hands-on approach. The hostel is suited to solo travellers, remote workers passing through, and anyone who values a private space without the premium of a full hotel room. Direct bookings are welcomed and mean you deal with Rachel rather than an intermediary platform.
A clean, minimal private room on Froburgerstrasse 7 in Olten, Switzerland. Simple materials, calm teal accents, and everything a solo traveller needs — nothing more, nothing less.
Shared wireless internet throughout the building, suitable for remote work, video calls, and streaming without interruption.
Olten Bahnhof is approximately 8 minutes on foot. Direct trains to Zurich, Bern, Basel, and Lucerne run regularly throughout the day.
A made-up single bed with fresh linen provided before each arrival, exclusively for one guest in a fully private room.
Room Teal has its own lockable door, giving solo guests full privacy separate from the shared hostel common areas.

The main sleeping and living space for one guest. Clean white walls with teal colour accents, a single bed with fresh linen, adequate storage, and a window with natural light from the street side of the building.
A shared lounge available to all guests of Studio 111. Comfortable seating, good lighting for working, and a space to meet other solo travellers passing through central Switzerland.

You arrive at Olten Bahnhof and walk roughly eight minutes south along Froburgerstrasse to the hostel entrance. Check-in is straightforward — Rachel or a member of the team walks you through the space and hands over your key. The room is ready: bed made, clean towels at the foot of the mattress, a window that lets in the last of the afternoon light.
The morning rhythm at Studio 111 is unhurried. Breakfast options are available nearby — a bakery on the main street does strong filter coffee and fresh Gipfeli by seven. Back at the hostel, the common areas are quiet enough in the early hours to sit and plan the day or open a laptop without distraction. The hostel's central location means you can be on a direct train to Zurich, Bern, Basel, or Lucerne within minutes of leaving the front door — each city is under an hour away.
During the afternoon, the old town across the Aare is worth the short walk. The covered wooden bridge is one of the oldest in the region, and the streets immediately around it have a handful of small restaurants and independent shops that operate at a different pace from the transit-heavy station area. In summer the riverside path fills up with locals after work hours.
By evening, the hostel common area comes to life in a low-key way. Guests tend to be solo travellers and professionals, and the atmosphere is conversational rather than loud. Room Teal is just far enough from the shared spaces to offer genuine quiet when you want it. The bed is firm and the blackout curtains do their job — you sleep well and leave the next morning with a train already loaded on your phone.

Most visitors treat Olten as a platform to change trains on. But with Zurich, Bern, Basel, and Lucerne all under an hour away, the city earns a second look — especially if you are travelling Switzerland on a considered budget.
Olten's covered wooden bridge is older than most visitors expect. This short walking route takes you across the Aare, through the pedestrianised old town, and back along the riverside path in under an hour.
Olten Bahnhof sits at the intersection of four major Swiss rail lines. From here, a single day gives you the mountains above Lucerne, the Rhine in Basel, or a morning in Bern's arcaded streets — all without hiring a car.
