“ You can't really beat the location for the price. You have to realize you are in a resort town for a relatively cheap price. The bar on the ground level is welcoming, but don't expect a big spacious hostel ”

“ Good, fun, atmosphere with friendly people on staff. Security could've been a bit better, no locks on the main door or the door to your room and also the lockers not great. Easy to get to from the main station and they allowed us a late check in. ”

“ This was nothing special but fairly clean and in a good location. Less than ten minutes easy walk from the train, and clean rooms. Showers are not always hot though, and only fridge and kettle for kitchen facilities. Views of the Matterhorn from the hostel which is very cool. ”

“ Great location, could have done without the nickel and diming aspect of the place (additional small charges for things like using the microwave or having sheets on your bed). All in all, a pretty good place that I would recommend and continue returning to. ”

“ This hostel is much better then the reviews. Considering the price - and that your in Zermatt, one of the most popular resorts in the world, it was great value. No it wasn't one of the best hostels I've been in, but for what you pay in a place like Zermatt it was great. I'd stay again. PS.... ”
