The only down side (and a big one) is the staff. They seem to hate what they are doing as a job. The front counter man gave me a lecture about how I needed to change the past in order to make it so he didn't need to stay over his shift. Dude, it's the nature of that job so... make a decision and figure out if you are really a good fit for this type of job. The check in girl had no personality at all. Where are you finding these people? I've been in hostels in 31 countries and this staff was incredibly disappointing. Other than the really crappy staff they seem to hire, it was clean, had a great breakfast and a fantastic view of the Matterhorn. It's just funny how all that stuff seems so unimportant when you're being treated like garbage.

+ The Matterhorn is visible right from the room window, but youโ€™ll get an even better view from the street. - Not recommended for guests with luggage. Kitchen staff were rude. understand this is a hostel, but there are much ways they can do better.

Matterhorn at last!

This is only the second stay I've had in a hostel and it was a very nice experience. We ended up getting a room with its own bathroom and a view of the Matterhorn out our window. The room wasn't all furnished (e.g., TV) but it had everything one needed and was spacious for a hostel. The breakfast was as good as any other hotel we stayed at on our trip and saved us at least $40 franks both days. Getting to and from the hostel was easy enough while walking or riding the local bus (red line to Luchre) from the main station. I would stay here again, no questions asked for the price and what you get.

Stayed in a private room and we got an amazing view of the Matterhorn. The beds and pillows were comfy (the best in Switzerland so far). Not a super social hostel but they had a bunch of games in the main area. Served dinner each night if you wanted to buy. The breakfast was great!! So many different options and I liked it was all local. Would recommend to stay here! It is a trek from town with bags but very doable. The last little bit is via stairs (the way google took us) but you can get there via road to avoid the last steep set of stairs.
