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.

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.

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?

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

Great stay in a beautiful place.
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.
