Hirschen Backpacker-Hotel & Pub, hotel in Schwyz

Located at the foot of the Mythen mountains, about 1.4 mi from the Schwyz Train Station, the Hirschen Backpacker-Hotel & Pub features an inviting garden terrace and free Wi-Fi.

This hostel has everything you need and nothing you don’t. We loved getting a welcome drink at the pub downstairs. Although the pub was loud, our room was very quiet.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Very friendly staff! Hostel has a kitchen and is close to a grocery store. We also liked the on-site restaurant's food. Rooms were clean and tidy, some had sinks. Location was great for exploring on foot and by bus.

    Value for money hostel (considering price levels in Switzerland) in a good location. It's very close to the buses that will take you to the Schwyz-Stoos funicular. Also close to the small towns in the area like Muotathal and Illgau. There are quite some restaurants close by as this hostel is very close to Schwyz Zentrum.

    Amazing hotel-hostel pub near Schwyz center. Rooms and common spaces where clean, nice view to the mountain. Shared kitchen with everything one could need, lockers inside with combination code if you get a shared room. Friendly staff that informed me about what to do in the area. You can ask for a visitor card that gives you discounts for activities is Schwyz, Gigi, Luzern and 4 cantons lake.
