It was easy to find & so convenient with the restaurant in on the main floor. The food was wonderful, linens were great & Daniel was a lovely host.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Simple apartment, great location, everything you need really for a ski trip. The bar downstairs didn't bother us, was completely quiet except on Saturday

    Zermatt Youth Hostel is a well located place to stay at an extremely good value for money in Zermatt. The views of Matterhorn are breathtaking! The staff is helpful and especially Melanie, who was super professional and helped make my stay wonderful. A free breakfast is served every morning and you can also pay for dinner. Overall, I had a great time and highly recommend it for the budget traveler to Zermatt. Thank you Zermatt Youth Hostel!

    The atmosphere is amazing, mostly young people that came to ski or explore Zermatt and the mountains. Also, value for money is great, this was one of the cheapest hostels I've seen in Switzerland and also got breakfast included in the price. Breakfast was amazing. The view from my window was to Klein Matterhorn, the best. Also, the receptionist is very kind and helpful.

    Very clean communal bathrooms, unbelievable views. Everyone is very quiet and if you are used to youth hostels, this is perfect.

    1 Very good location. Just opposite the train station. The most lively district in the town. Besides the mountain train station to Gonagrat. 2 There is a Dennes not far from the hostel. This is the cheapest supermarket I have ever been to in Switzerland. 3 A big clean well-equipped kitchen. 4 Good price for laundry, CHF2+CHF2.5 for wash and dry. 5 Comfort bed. If you have a lower bed in a dormitory, you will have very good privacy.

    Waking up in the morning to a clear Matterhorn view from bed was life changing, coolest hostel view so far. The whole staff was great, the most helpful of them all was the janitor when we arrived early, great guy! Really appreciated dinner being available on location as it was cheaper than food in town which was pretty far away. Bathroom was nice a clean and safe, and our room was comfy and quiet.

    Friendly, comfortable modern hotel with lounge bar. The family room was larger than average with ensuite facilities, double bed and bunk beds. It was useful having a small seating area with a table and armchairs to relax in the room. Breakfast was amazing and so too was cake and coffee after a day on the slopes. The bar lounge had a real fire and bar staff and reception staff friendly. Great location just off the main street in the centre of town. Covid safe hotel
