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.

    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!

    Great location, next to the station but very quiet. Clean bathrooms. Great view of Matterhorn from our top floor dormitory bedroom balcony. Luggage storage after check out was very useful. We didn't use the kitchen but it seemed very well equipped. Cosy communal/eating area.

    Smooth self check in and check out. Excellent communication and complete details were given to guests before arrival. Walking distance to Zematt Banhof/Train Stn and main shopping road. Quiet and safe neighborhood. Free coffee. It's cheaper than other hotels most of the time. Friendly staff. Clean, modern, decent size room with balcony. More than enough storage area and shelves in the room, and there's storage for luggage after check out for a few more hours in their ski room. Elevator. No communal fridge no microwave though.

    Friendly helpful staff! Great place. Some Hill and stairs up to the hostel, but it's not too many, maybe like a 2nd or 3rd floor apartment. Definitely walkable from station and close to gondola. Shout out to the chef, excellent food much cheaper than town. thank you very very much.

    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.

    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
