Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Unfortunately we stayed whilst a school group was staying. There was alot of running around the halls, screaming and shouting in the early morning and in the evening. You would have thought they would put the group in one building, but they were spread out all over the three buildings. The facilities were fine, but meal times were so loud that we had to eat ver quickly and leave. Optional Dinners were very worth it. Four courses and delicious. We also opted for fondue one night, delish! The beds were comfortable, the room was basic and clean. The shower played up abit, hot then cold. Overall it was good

Great stay in a beautiful place.
My family of four stayed here in a 4 bed bunk room with bathroom. Worked fine for us for two nights. Pretty quiet and functional. Easy access from the Main Street. Staff were very helpful. Cold Breakfast was good. View of the Matterhorn was excellent.

The only down side (and a big one) is the staff. They seem to hate what they are doing as a job. The front counter man gave me a lecture about how I needed to change the past in order to make it so he didn't need to stay over his shift. Dude, it's the nature of that job so... make a decision and figure out if you are really a good fit for this type of job. The check in girl had no personality at all. Where are you finding these people? I've been in hostels in 31 countries and this staff was incredibly disappointing. Other than the really crappy staff they seem to hire, it was clean, had a great breakfast and a fantastic view of the Matterhorn. It's just funny how all that stuff seems so unimportant when you're being treated like garbage.
