Great stay. We loved it It is a youth hostel ( so think dorm like accomodations) yet spotless, clean, quiet and frequented by nice people. Would go again even though our room was 4 th floor walk up.

Well what can I say, we arrived in Switzerland jumped on a train and eventually arrived in Zermatt not knowing what to expect. We are an older couple not particularly fit although we do walk quite a bit particularly when away. We struggled a bit to find the hostel despite me saving plenty of instructions to my phone, anyway we eventually worked it out with the help of Google maps and a bit of luck. Yes the steps were a bit steep and I was out of breath when I reached the top but all that was worth it when we arrived in our room. The staff were lovely when checking us in really friendly and did see if we could have the evening meal, however due to there being a school party staying there was no availability. The room was warm clean and basic just as we had expected. The view from the windows however far exceeded our expectations to the side was the village of Zermatt with houses and lights dotted all round, to the bottom of the bed was the Matterhorn stunning! The breakfast next morning was a continental breakfast with plenty of choice and again staff were friendly and helpful when you needed anything. I was also so pleased I booked a stay a bit further up in the village as It made us walk round and have a good look, had we been nearer the station a don't think we would of gone up as far as the hostel and missed some of the town. We also found although a bit longer, walking round the road way to the hostel was less strenuous. I would definitely return to this hostel. Thankyou

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

Super pleased

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.

+ 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.

Matterhorn at last!

This is only the second stay I've had in a hostel and it was a very nice experience. We ended up getting a room with its own bathroom and a view of the Matterhorn out our window. The room wasn't all furnished (e.g., TV) but it had everything one needed and was spacious for a hostel. The breakfast was as good as any other hotel we stayed at on our trip and saved us at least $40 franks both days. Getting to and from the hostel was easy enough while walking or riding the local bus (red line to Luchre) from the main station. I would stay here again, no questions asked for the price and what you get.

Stayed in a private room and we got an amazing view of the Matterhorn. The beds and pillows were comfy (the best in Switzerland so far). Not a super social hostel but they had a bunch of games in the main area. Served dinner each night if you wanted to buy. The breakfast was great!! So many different options and I liked it was all local. Would recommend to stay here! It is a trek from town with bags but very doable. The last little bit is via stairs (the way google took us) but you can get there via road to avoid the last steep set of stairs.
