Best Hostels in Bern
Most likely your Swiss adventure will kick start in the capital of Bern.
This beautiful city is a UNESCO world heritage site and is perfect for any traveller interested in historic features and old town city vibes. Unlike many other capital cities across the world, Bern has only a handful of hostels. Quite unusual for Europe.
We had a look at them and we think the best hostel in Bern is:
Bern Youth Hostel (Bern)
If you’d like to stay in a listed building that’s recently had an ultra-modern re-design; look no further!
There’s nothing at Bern Youth Hostel but bright, big and clean spaces.
We just love the private rooms with river views out of the door-sized windows. Who wouldn’t?!
You needn’t travel far for a decent meal – just head down to the restaurant bar and lounge.
Buffet breakfast is included.

Best Hostels in Gimmelwald
Let us head up into the beautiful mountains to the small village of Gimmelwald.
Don’t mistake this for the famous resort Grindelwald in the next valley. Oh no, this is far less touristy and one of the offbeat areas backpackers will love!
Get ready for cowbells, wooden huts and stunning mountainous valleys.
And guess what; there is only one hostel in Gimmelwald, and it happens to be awesome.
Mountain Hostel (Gimmelwald)
This is most likely going to be a love at first sight moment for you.
Not only is this hut-style hostel gorgeous, but you’ll also be surrounded by hiking trails, via ferrata and rafting opportunities. Love hiking? Then you will love this country and the alps. Here’s a guide to best hikes in Switzerland.

Balmers Hostel is one of the most famous party hostels in Switzerland.
The in-house bar is inviting, and it is a real fun place to have a cold drink after a long day of extreme sports.
The location? It is just a 5 minute walk from the Backpackers Villa, so as well super central. Interlaken itself is small anyways. You can walk basically everywhere.

Fancy getting away from it all? Lenz has a population of fewer than 600 people, so we think it’s the perfect destination for some peace and quiet.
Unsurprisingly, Lenz is another mountainous area and a great place for skiing.
We found a great hostel in Lenz for you:
Nordic Hostel (Lenz)
Another Backpackers Haven in Switzerland.
When the nearest airport is 112 km away, you know you’re headed to a beautiful, secluded place.

Best Hostels in Zurich (or Zürich)
It’s time to come down from the mountains and explore the largest city in Switzerland.
It can always be a bit of a shock to the system returning to a crowded city, so consider a visit to Zurich either at the beginning or end of your Swiss adventure.

We consider the best hostel in Zermatt to be the Youth Hostel Zermatt.
It is, in fact, the only real hostel in Zermatt. And it happens to be pretty special.

Linen is included in all private and shared rooms. But honestly, it’s the view of the mountains that will really steal your heart.

Switzerland just keeps on giving.
What makes this destination stand out from the crowd?
It’s the base for mountain-climbing up the iconic North face of the Eiger. Who’s felling brave?
Grindelwald Youth Hostel
Grindelwald Youth Hostel inside felt like a 4 star hotel with the added value that many open-minded people were gathered inside. The rooms are spacious and the view is amazing. The hostel itself is a bit distant from the centre and the railway station which gave us the vibe we were looking for. The free breakfast is amazing.
Views from the balconies are unreal. They give you a bus pass with discounts to the mountain activities which is really helpful. Having the piano available for the guests to play is one of amazing amenities of this hostel.

Best Hostels in Zofingen
This is the capital of the district and a walled city that’s home to an ancient monastic settlement. Sounds cool, right?

Our only hostel in Zofingen is a basic youth hostel that is great for families, groups and friends.

All of the shared and private rooms come with linen and Wi-Fi.
