+ 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.

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.
