World-famous Matterhorn Mountain can be viewed from Youth Hostel Zermatt. Ski lifts as well as Zermatt city centre are a 10-minute walk away. Free Wi-Fi is available in public areas.

Breakfast was really good ! very fullfilling for such an expensive place like Zermatt ! also the location was amazing, the room had an insane view of the Matterhorn, as the building is located in a high up hill, 5 min from the center of the town

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.

    great location and excellent for anyone travelling on a budget. Ability to take your own food and drink and with a pleasant outdoor seating area. Nice sized shower in the bathroom instead of being a little box. The whole hotel looked like it was well maintained.

    I slept in a hostel room with six beds for women. For a dormitory room the quality was high: the room was nice and the beds were situated so that it was possible to have some privacy. It was clean, also in the bathrooms. There is a big kitchen well equipped if you want to cook yourself, and house personal looking after the property. Kind service. I would come again to overnight during a hike.

    Everythings inside you need for a modest life like in a youth hostel :) If you are well conditioned, you are quickly walked to the Matterhorn Express I, also with skiing boots and skiis around ten minutes, but must have power ;)

    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!

    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.
