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.

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

The only down side (and a big one) is the staff. They seem to hate what they are doing as a job. The front counter man gave me a lecture about how I needed to change the past in order to make it so he didn't need to stay over his shift. Dude, it's the nature of that job so... make a decision and figure out if you are really a good fit for this type of job. The check in girl had no personality at all. Where are you finding these people? I've been in hostels in 31 countries and this staff was incredibly disappointing. Other than the really crappy staff they seem to hire, it was clean, had a great breakfast and a fantastic view of the Matterhorn. It's just funny how all that stuff seems so unimportant when you're being treated like garbage.

We really enjoyed staying at the Hostel in Zermatt. Friendly and efficient staff. Wonderful views from our spacious and airy room (in a new building adjacent to main building.) Tasty and ample cold breakfast buffet.

water not available due to broken tap when we want to drink…only water in a jar..but by the time we want to refill ,the water has run out.Even when we want to take hot water late at night…the jar is empty. The chef on the day of arrival is not people friendly..giving us a stare when we boiled water in a kettle and when we wanted to eat noodle in a cup.Overall rating its ok,but this might not be in our list to stay anymore.

The only bad thing. Is the property is a little far from the town center and is about a 15 min hump up that hill. Other than that is pace is amazing all around ! Staff was excellent and friendly!

The e bus has stop 100 feet from hotel lucuert stop. The hotel is clean and quiet. Breakfast is typical European style but lacks a full breakfast selection. Buying the dinner service 6-7:30 each night Is both affordable and good. Would stay here again. I stayed in many 4-star hotels and the Zermatt Youth Hostel is cleaner than 4-star offerings.
