+ The Matterhorn is visible right from the room window, but you’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.

Unser Zimmer hatte eine wunderschöne Aussicht auf das Matterhorn. Wir waren absolut schockiert ab dem tollen View! Und das für diesen günstigen Preis. Die Jugendherberge war gut ausgestattet und mit dem Ortsbus einfach erreichbar.

Youth hostel that offers great breakfast included in daily rate. Its dinner is freshly cooked decent three courses for 20CHF, where any other restaurant in town start their main course at 25CHF. A budget friendly place for a few nights stay in Zermatt, considering how expensive the town is.

Sijainti upea, Matterhorn näkyy ruokailutilaan. Ystävällinen palvelu, erinomainen aamiainen ja päivällinen. Ilmastoinnin pitäisi olla päällä kesälläkin pihan nollaenergiataloissa.
