Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The 4 person room was great. Amazing views. Good location. Just beware when we come of the steps to get up to the hostel. Breakfast was nice. No kitchen as a downside and not the best for meeting people. But absolutely would stay again
Rooms were quite basic but was not there for the fancy rooms, delicious breakfast,, close to the bus stop, and close walking distance to all the restaurants etc.
Youth hostel that offers great breakfast included in daily rate. Its dinner is freshly cooked decent three courses for 20CHF, where any other restaurant in town start their main course at 25CHF. A budget friendly place for a few nights stay in Zermatt, considering how expensive the town is.
The most challenging part was the walk from the train station to the hostel. Many stairs and uphill. However, there are taxis available.
Staff was extremely accommodating, great breakfasts, comfortable room and super clean, which I love. The kitchen area was spotless, as was the hostel throughout. Can’t say enough good things about the hostel.
My family of four stayed here in a 4 bed bunk room with bathroom.
Worked fine for us for two nights.
Pretty quiet and functional.
Easy access from the Main Street.
Staff were very helpful.
Cold Breakfast was good.
View of the Matterhorn was excellent.

+ The Matterhorn is visible right from the room window, but you’ll get an even better view from the street.
- Not recommended for guests with luggage. Kitchen staff were rude. understand this is a hostel, but there are much ways they can do better.
Nice and clean hostel with a shared sink in each room.
The shower stalls are clean, but a bit narrow (width: no enough to raise both elbows out to shoulder height)
Good breakfast :)
Just 1-2min walk from the bus stop.
However, the bus doesn't come around as frequently as some other places. Also, it's a pretty small bus, so depending on your timing, it could get tough getting on board.
Unfortunately we stayed whilst a school group was staying. There was alot of running around the halls, screaming and shouting in the early morning and in the evening. You would have thought they would put the group in one building, but they were spread out all over the three buildings. The facilities were fine, but meal times were so loud that we had to eat ver quickly and leave. Optional Dinners were very worth it. Four courses and delicious. We also opted for fondue one night, delish! The beds were comfortable, the room was basic and clean. The shower played up abit, hot then cold. Overall it was good
It's a great place to stay. It's clean and staff are friendly except from one kitchen staff who yelled at me in front of everyone having their breakfast at that time when I was getting coffee but instead of using their own mug, I've used my own flask to keep the coffee warm whilst having my breakfast. He just yelled 'NO NO NO. YOU CANNOT DO THAT. YOU CAN TAKE YOUR WATER BUT NOT COFFEE.' What's wrong with using you own flask? I'm not stealing their coffee? I'm drinking it with my breakfast. Is it now forbidden to use your own flask?
