- Jennifer (1/5): -
- Stuart (9/5): Quite far up the hill but great views. Great showers. Great staff. Good breakfast included. Double bed is split mattress -
- Victor (7/5): -
- Péter (9/5): -
- YEOJIN (10/5): - 시설 깔끔
직원들 친절
체르마트 뷰!! (나무에 조금 가려지긴 했어요)
조식 맛있음
다시 와도 또 묵고 싶어요
- Md Muntasir (8/5): Great hostel and friendly staff! - Unrestricted views of the Matterhorn, simple but gets the job done! Steep climb to get to property, might not be suitable for all
- Cailin (10/5): -
- MIKA (10/5): マッターホルンビューの素晴らしい宿 - マッターホルンが見える部屋で最高でした!
お部屋から見えなくても食堂や建物の外に出れば目の前にマッターホルンが見えます!
夕飯も約20フランで食べれるのはかなりお得!とても美味しかったです。ベジタリアンメニューもありました。
物価が高いスイスではスーパーで買っても20フランくらいはしますので(電子レンジはありました)かなりお得だと思います。
また施設案内にあった『公共交通機関のパス』は特に無く、ツェルマットの街中を走る赤と緑のバスは無料で乗れました。 SBBのツェルマット駅からは街中を歩いて最後坂を登るのがとてもきつかったです。観光しながら行けるのでそれもプラスかも。
- Rainer (8/5): War das erste Mal in einem Hostel, aber ein zweites Mal wird es eher nicht geben - Blick auf das Matterhorn und das Frühstück Ich habe für die Übernachtung bezahlt und nicht, dass ich Bettwäsche abziehen soll und diese mit den Handtüchern ins Hauptgebäude tragen muss
- Gabriel (9/5): - Es un excelente desayuno, la habitación muy limpia junto con los baños.
- Muller (3/5): - El lugar es solo juventud Las habitaciones MUY pequeñas
- HIRINOBU (9/5): - 清潔でキレイでした。ロケーションも最高です。 強いてあげれば、朝食はパン中心で野菜も少なく、お腹は膨れますが、楽しみは少ない。でも、この場所でインクルーシブと考えれば全く問題ないです
- Liudmila (4/5): -
- Yvonne (9/5): Great for a short stay - Great views of the Matterhorn from our room. Towels and shower gel provided. Such a help when travelling. Quite a struggle with our bags from the station, up a hill and many steps. Pricey for a basic room but out of season and no competition or much availability. Good for our one night stopover to catch the Bernina express.
- Avinash Kumar (10/5): -
- Rodel (10/5): Breathtaking view of the Matterhorn from the hostel - I like everything about this hostel: 10-minute walk to the center although it's a bit of an uphill hike but that's expected everywhere in Zermatt, reasonable room rates with breakfast included, clean sheets and airy room is a sweet deal and most specially the convenience of being within walking distance to the ski lift. The view of Matterhorn from the hostel is breathtaking! Nothing!
- DINGDING (10/5): - 非常好,工作人员也很尽心尽责,第一天早上把枕套和被罩拆下来,我们因此产生了一些误会,但是从这完全可以感受到工作人员非常有责任心 很完美
- Doris (10/5): -
- Abhishek (10/5): -
- David (8/5): -
- Myeonghyeon (10/5): - 마테호른 뷰 숙소였어요! 조식도 제공되고, 카페테리아에 전자레인지와 식수, 커피포트가 있어서 좋았고 냉장고도 있어서 포스트잇에 이름을 적어두고 보관할 수 있었어요.
공용 화장실이라서 걱정했지만 꽤나 괜찮았고, 잠자리도 아늑했어요. 좀 추웠어요.. 패딩 입고 자긴 했는데, 라디에이터를 꼭 최대로 오래 틀어두고 창문은 닫아두세요! 어매니티가 없으니 샴푸와 린스, 바디워시는 꼭 챙겨오세요!
- Yong (8/5): - 提供早餐,还有提供行李寄放空间。柜套服务小姐很亲切友善。 希望能够提供明确的交通资料,让房客抵达后,知道在哪里等免费巴士前往住宿,能够减轻推行李前往住宿的负担。
- QQ (6/5): -
- Carolina (10/5): - Excelente ubicación y muy buena atención del personal.
- Karla Karol (10/5): - La atención del personal La austeridad de las habitaciones y que tuve que armar mi propia cama hahaha
- Isabel (7/5): -
- Shiva (3/5): -
- Sara (9/5): -
- Justine (10/5): Great place for a value for money stay and to meet people in Zermatt. - Clean, comfortable, friendly, helpful staff and good value food. Stunning view of Matterhorn from our floor 3 window. Quite a walk to get there from station and up lots of steps. Good if you are young, not so much if you are a bit older!
Could do with more showers per floor.
- Irmak (8/5): -
- Tek Seng (6/5): - Very polite receptionist Access to hotel location on high hill slope is very inconvenient. Guests need to carry out additional work like changing the new pillow and matress case in the room and then returning to the hotel lobby when checking out.
- Andrew (10/5): -
- sanjay (5/5): - Compare to other hostels, this was the most difficult to reach No Lift , difficult location, no vegan breakfast
- emmijhh (8/5): -
- Iracema Miyoko (10/5): - Tudo otimo , estou em Salzburg, na mesma rede de vocês. Tudo otimo
- Michael (8/5): -
- Brigitte (8/5): Ruhige Übernachtung ohne Schnickschnack - Sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend
Das Essen war sehr lecker
- Rosalind (9/5): Excellent value for travellers of all ages. Friendly atmosphere, fab mountain views. - The room had the best view I could imagine of the Matterhorn. Delicious breakfast included. Tasty and filling evening meal ready when we arrived. Staff friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the electric taxi ride from and to the station. As older travellers we could not have reached the hostel without a taxi but younger travelers can hike it. We love mixing with fellow travellers at hostels -families, young people and some slightly older. Excellent value for all. We had a room on the first floor-again-and we really need to bring fewer clothes and smaller cases! The younger guests were so kind and helpful .
- Judith Marie (7/5): It was a hell if a walk to get there but hey?! - The room and bed were good in comparison to some other hostels! And you even get a towel! No character and definitely needs a kitchen for those that love to cook! Could have done with a television to relax.
- Esther (8/5): -
- Hermann (7/5): -
- Annemarie (10/5): - Great location. Clean. Great breakfast. No lift.
Not the hostel’s fault but the young woman sharing the dorm was most inconsiderate making a lot of noise until 11pm when she started to use a hairdryer. At that point I had to tell her there should be quiet after 10pm.
- Michaela (9/5): - Dobra poloha, prijemny personal, dobra strava
- Wee Shiang (9/5): Everything was fine just that the WiFi signal is not too good. -
- Peña Romero (8/5): -
- silvina (10/5): -
- Dorek (1/5): -
- Chen (5/5): - 宿泊だけをみるとコストパフォーマンスが適切です 荷物運びは大変かもしれません。
18時以後になると、タクシーしかないため、余計な出費をしてしまった。
- Taiki (7/5): - Breakfast 部屋の中にある塞がれたドアの穴(鍵穴を潰した際にできた穴?)から隣の部屋が見えてしまうことに気づいたので、蚊自分たちで覆うしかなかった。
急な坂の上にあるので、少し行き来が大変。
- Yuchuan (10/5): -
- Henricsson (10/5): - Amazing staff! Even though I was the only one to eat dinner at the hostel due to low season, they were sure to accomodate me very well. For the location and for Zermatt, incredible value for the price!
- Berry (8/5): -
- CHEN (8/5): -
- Thomas (8/5): -
- Wiranya (4/5): - พนักงานต้อนรับน่ารัก แต่พนักงานร้านอาหารพูดไม่เพราะ การเดินทางลำบากและ ควรจะแยกห้องรวมผุ้หญิง ออกจาก ผู้ชาย และห้องอาบน้ำ ควรแยกกันกับ ห้อง WC
- Людмила (8/5): Добре на свої гроші - Сніданок дуже смачний, були також локальні продукти. Без На рецепшені мене не попередили, що постільну білизну і рушник за окрему плату треба брати внизу, біля ресепшена, прийшлосядвічі спускатися з четвертого поверхах на нульовий, без ліфта.

- Colin (2/5): One nice staff member(Tomas) and one very rude staff member unable to own her mistakes. -

- Kang-Shun (7/5): -
- Woon Loke (9/5): -
- Guofang (5/5): I won’t stay there again - The hostel has stunning views of the snow mountains The hostel is in the high place of Zermatt. No public transport links. It has no lift. I was assigned to stay in the forth floor. I had to climb all stairs to the room with all luggage, and also have to pay extra for a towel.

Matterhorn Sicht vom Zimmer im 4. Stock.
Wir haben den 90. Geburtstag der Oma dort gefeiert, wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt! /
- North (8/5): Great hostel - Clean hostel, nice staff and good location close to slopes
- Bernard Radoc (5/5): - Clean Very far from the Zermat banhof if first time be ready because you need to walk 20mins and mostly walking uphill if you have luggage 30kgs you will suffer a lot of stairs up and down goodluck to will stay here but there is E bus it’s running around Zermat and it pass through Zermat youth hostel I just come to know through Google and self study but if I go back Zermat I will not stay here again. I think my comment doesn’t matter because there are still many people stay here
- Anne (8/5): Une seule nuit confortable, très bon petit déj. - Chambre de 8 lits bien agencée. Petit déjeuner copieux sans aucun produit emballé : bravo 4ème étage sans ascenseur !
- Nikolai (10/5): Buena, acorde al precio - Adecuado al precio, llegamos fuera del horario del check-in, ya no había nadie e igual supieron resolverlo para que podamos pasar la noche. Todo es Zermatt es muy caro así que era una opción adecuada al precio, todo muy limpio y el desayuno estaba bueno.
- Yuk Ling (7/5): Worth money anyway - The view of Matterhorn! The pushing button to get water in shower room. In winter, it’s a bit hard to get hot warm in a second. However, one push of the button could only holds 10 sec of water and some of them are warm or cold water. Not really appreciate this way.
BTW, no lift in the building so either you carry your suitcase to 4 floor or put your big suitcase to locker room.
- Malini (7/5): - Comfortable Quite an uphill walk from the station
- Gregor (8/5): -
