There is common misconception about swastika and hakenkreuz.
I am reffering to earlier post about "swastika".
While the actual name for that symbol is hakenkruez, why still people call this swastika, i thought as switzerland uses german for communication, i know it's a little different. People still call this symbol as swastika and have a debate about if it's Buddhist or Hinduism symbol.
As an indian, We do have importance for swastika and it hurts as people call hakenkruez a "swastika" symbol.

So is this a bedroom of a buddhist or a neo-nazi?
This is a nazi symbol. The fact that it’s pointing the opposite direction is because it’s meant to be viewed from the other side. Also the white circle is a giveaway.
Sadly the same word is used for both.
Important:
He is not defending the guy in the picture. He just wants to clarify the difference between the two symbols.
The symbol in the guys room is 100% a Hakenkreuz.
Probably pointing into the other direction because the flag should be viewed from the front. on the left there even is a mannequin with a uniform…
I recommend you to start wearing glasses
anyone else seeing 88 in the glas reflection or perhaps on the building wall itself?
The German “Hakenkreuz” is a kind of swastika, but not every swastika is a “Hakenkreuz”.
Also, context matters! What we are seeing here is **not** a Hindu temple.
