    Crammed toilet space The lack of shelving by the sink in the shared bathroom made it hard to put stuff down.

    I loved the amazing views of Matterhorn right outside the window. The room itself was spacious enough for 4 people, the beds were comfortable and had a personal light and wall plug. The room had a sink and cabinets to store bags. The facilities were good, but on my floor the toilets were a bit crammed. They were kept tidy which is what matters most. The included breakfast was nice, plenty to choose from. Overall, a great stay!

    Finding different facilities was a little difficult. Though Matterhorn was visible, it is not very close to the station.

    The room was adequate, breakfast was good. It had luggage storage facilities, a nice space outside with a table tennis table.

    The location is a bit far, you have to climb up a lot of stairs to get to the area. But still, it's worth it.

    The staff who checked us in was not informative, he gave us the key and said you r room is in that building & showed us a building, the room number was 313 so we thought the room was in 3rd floor BUT the room was in basement , we had to carry the luggage up then all the way down to the basement

    Room was clean, comfortable, breakfast was OK The name given in booking .com was Zermatt youth hostel BUT the name at facility is Swiss Youth Hostel, so it was very hard for us to locate, far from train station

    Unfortunately, my room was on the 4th floor and the place does not have any lift. It’s inconvenient if you have heavy luggage. Our room has a water pipe or something and you can hear water running whole day which is not great for light sleepers like me.

    The place is clean and the free buffet breakfast was great. It has a really nice and clear view of Matterhorn.

    Bathrooms are in need of updating. breakfast served was subpar. It was more like a poor short lunch.

    I liked the location. beds were fine. Temperature was good because we could open the windows. Cleanliness was fine. Desk attendants were super helpful and kind.

    Only one washing machine, only one drying machine. There is no other self laundry places in the town. It would be better to do your laundry before or after Zermatt.

    Because the route from the station to the hostel is far and all uphill, I do help there would be some shuttle buato pick up our baggage.

    The room has a good view that you can see Matterhorn mountain from the window! And the bed is very comfortable.

    There were a group of students who were having a party in the evening and was a little noisy at night.

    It was very good value in Zermatt area. The view from the window was also very nice. It was overall very clean and well maintained unlike typical hostels.
