Having arrived from The Happy Inn Lodge, Interlaken, which we found very vibrant and good value by Swiss standards, we found this very expensive by comparison, lacking in both facilities and character and about half as much again as the the Happy Inn. Our double room was a dormitory, with one blanket, no sheets or towels or curtains and only... More

Once you accept the fact that it's a hostel aimed more at students, the rest falls into place. It's not a big place (there are 2-3 staff who work here (the receptionist also works the bar during breakfast hours)) but they do a decent job of keeping the place running well. Locks are provided for the lockers and there is... More

After reading the previous reviews I wasn't sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. The hostel was in a great location, close to ski lifts and to the town. The hostel was very warm and the beds quite comfortable. The showers were powerful and warm, could've been hotter!! The best part of the hostel was the bar Sparky's... More

Its a terrible place to spend even a night. There are better places available at the same price. The staff is rude and uncooperative. The rooms are tiny for six beds, with just one power plug. There is no hot water available in shower room most of the time. The common sink area is always dirty. The only good thing... More

Awful place, awful service. Linen in NOT provided, the only common area is small, humid, smelly and generally unpleasant. There are no cooking facilities and insufficient bathrooms. It didn't even seem to be that much cheaper than several other options. If you must go to Zermatt, save up and stay ANYWHERE ELSE. We left after 30 minutes and drove to... More

I will not recommend this place if you are not a typical backpacker who will stay at the cheapest place, and are grateful just to have a bed, no matter how it looks and how dirty it is. We stayed in a dark hole next to the shared bathrooms. Both our room and the bathrooms were dirty. Zermatt is an... More

The Matterhorn Hostel is a great price for Zermatt. Facilities are really basic, with dorms, shared bathroom and toilets. Kitchen really only for making a cuppa or storing food in the fridge. Staff are friendly, place was generally clean. A short distance from the centre of the village - easily walked.

The best value hostel for budget travellers in Zermatt which is an expensive resort. I dont think there is any other accommodations can beat this price.From outside the hostel you can see the majestic Matterhorn.This hostel is about 15 mins walking from the train station.It is just next to the cable car station that can bring you up to Matterhorn...

Stayed there with the family in our own room last July, I guess it's ok if you have your own room, it must be less fun sharing it with other sleepers dependending on how they behave... We were also very lucky with the weather ! Hotel is well located, 15 min. from the station but there is no receptionist between... More
