About

Youthful hostel with a wide range of overnight accommodation from simple 4-bed-dorm to cosy single or double room, some of them ensuite. All rooms are equipped with washbasin and TV (except dorms). Part of our house is a unique pub with a romantic garden lounge and a small but fine choice of food and several swiss beers.

The hirschen backpacker-hotel & pub was founded in the year 2000. Since then this hostel has been home to many backpackers, hikers, pilgrims, bikers and other visitors of the historic town in the heart of Switzerland, which is also home of Victorinox, the world famous factory of pocket tools. All over the year there are taking place a lot of traditional events, which might lengthen your stay.

Summary of traveller reviews

Hirschen Backpacker-Hotel & Pub in Schwyz offers a fantastic location and exceptionally friendly, helpful staff. Guests appreciate the cleanliness and the cozy pub atmosphere. Some recent feedback notes a faint odour in hallways and small, dated showers with low water pressure.

Staff was very helpful and pleasant. Hostel had an odor while walking through the halls. Bedrooms were comfortable and lockers provided in the rooms along with a sink. Shower was small and out dated and water pressure was light. Bathrooms smelled like urine. Overall it was an ok stay. Location and staff along with security were great.
