Great breakfast

Breakfast was good and the bed was clean.

The location is not good. I went up for 25min with heavy bag from Zermatt rail station.

I stayed two nights in a 4-bed female dorm and really enjoyed my stay. The hostel is about a 15min walk from the station, complete with a steep slope/flight of stairs. Just be prepared! However, the view makes it absolutely worth the climb!! Had a stunning view of the Matterhorn from the hostel and even from my room window. :) The room is comfortable, with lockers available for luggage. Power points are allocated to each bunk, which was great! Luggage storage is also offered pre- and post checkin and out. It’s easy to get to the main train station, main street and Gornergrat Bahn station from the hostel. Went up to Riffelsee for the sunrise and it was absolutely stunning!

Toilets were also in good condition - only weird thing was that the water went off every few minutes. You’d have to continually press a button for the water to flow. The shower heads were also a little wonky. The hostel doesn’t have a kitchen for guests to use (meaning you won’t be able to cook) but they do offer a value-for-money (in relativity compared to outside restaurants) dinner.
