Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Value for money hostel (considering price levels in Switzerland) in a good location. It's very close to the buses that will take you to the Schwyz-Stoos funicular. Also close to the small towns in the area like Muotathal and Illgau. There are quite some restaurants close by as this hostel is very close to Schwyz Zentrum.

    Amazing hotel-hostel pub near Schwyz center. Rooms and common spaces where clean, nice view to the mountain. Shared kitchen with everything one could need, lockers inside with combination code if you get a shared room. Friendly staff that informed me about what to do in the area. You can ask for a visitor card that gives you discounts for activities is Schwyz, Gigi, Luzern and 4 cantons lake.
