Restaurant & Hostel Hole in One, hotel in Zermatt

Located in Randa, 4.7 miles from Zermatt Train Station, Restaurant & Hostel Hole in One has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a restaurant.

I must say the price is reasonable in mattertal valley, any accommodations nearby Zermatt or Täsch are raletively more expansive than this hostel. If you are a hiker, you would like to sleep in a private room, you have a budget limit, you drive a car or you can walk 30 minutes in a bit narrow road and don't have a lot of luggages with you, this place may be the right place for you. The soundproofing was a bit poor between the walls, but if the guests who stay next to you are behaving gentlely it would be a serious problem. If you want to mostly spend your time in Zermatt, you have to walk 30 mins one way to reach the train station of Täsch, the train ticket is around 10 sfc per way if you don't have a travelcard or any valid package tickets. The provided breakfasts were self-service, if you can prepare for your meals on your own, I think it's more wise to buy personal stuffs in the supermarket, because the refrigerator is free to use for the guests.

Opened in September 2014, the wellnessHostel4000 is located in the center of Saas-Fee and offers an indoor pool with a water slide and a children's pool, a gym, and a wellness area with a sauna, hot...

Great idea to combine a hostel with a luxurious spa. We made extensive use of the facilities and even came back for more spa time after our stay! The place was very quiet at night. We got access to early breakfast ahead of our hike upon request, very nice of the staff.

All hostels in Zermatt
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.

    great location and excellent for anyone travelling on a budget. Ability to take your own food and drink and with a pleasant outdoor seating area. Nice sized shower in the bathroom instead of being a little box. The whole hotel looked like it was well maintained.

    I slept in a hostel room with six beds for women. For a dormitory room the quality was high: the room was nice and the beds were situated so that it was possible to have some privacy. It was clean, also in the bathrooms. There is a big kitchen well equipped if you want to cook yourself, and house personal looking after the property. Kind service. I would come again to overnight during a hike.

    Everythings inside you need for a modest life like in a youth hostel :) If you are well conditioned, you are quickly walked to the Matterhorn Express I, also with skiing boots and skiis around ten minutes, but must have power ;)

    Zermatt Youth Hostel is a well located place to stay at an extremely good value for money in Zermatt. The views of Matterhorn are breathtaking! The staff is helpful and especially Melanie, who was super professional and helped make my stay wonderful. A free breakfast is served every morning and you can also pay for dinner. Overall, I had a great time and highly recommend it for the budget traveler to Zermatt. Thank you Zermatt Youth Hostel!

    1 Very good location. Just opposite the train station. The most lively district in the town. Besides the mountain train station to Gonagrat. 2 There is a Dennes not far from the hostel. This is the cheapest supermarket I have ever been to in Switzerland. 3 A big clean well-equipped kitchen. 4 Good price for laundry, CHF2+CHF2.5 for wash and dry. 5 Comfort bed. If you have a lower bed in a dormitory, you will have very good privacy.

    Waking up in the morning to a clear Matterhorn view from bed was life changing, coolest hostel view so far. The whole staff was great, the most helpful of them all was the janitor when we arrived early, great guy! Really appreciated dinner being available on location as it was cheaper than food in town which was pretty far away. Bathroom was nice a clean and safe, and our room was comfy and quiet.

    Friendly, comfortable modern hotel with lounge bar. The family room was larger than average with ensuite facilities, double bed and bunk beds. It was useful having a small seating area with a table and armchairs to relax in the room. Breakfast was amazing and so too was cake and coffee after a day on the slopes. The bar lounge had a real fire and bar staff and reception staff friendly. Great location just off the main street in the centre of town. Covid safe hotel
