The property is situated 19 km from Grindelwald Terminal, 10 km from Mount Eiger and 20 km from First. Certain rooms at the property include a balcony with a mountain view.

At the hostel, each room includes a desk. Guest rooms have a wardrobe. I loved this accomodation so much! Me and my partner stayed here for two nights and we enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The hotel is in an amazing location and the walk there is very scenic. There is a farmer not too far away who sells amazing local handmade goods at a reasonable price, as well as a gorgeous lookout point. It has an amazing living/dining room area with comfortable sofas, beautiful wooden furniture and a piano you can play. The whole place is very homey, warm and soulful. We both loved the vibes of it! The shared kitchen is very well equipped, it has everything one could possibly need - even a fondue maker! The hosts are also very kind and helpful. They were cheerful, eager to give us recommendations regarding what is worth to see in the region and to help us navigate the town. This place exceeded all out expectations, and if we're lucky enough to go back to Wengen someday, we already know where we're staying :)

Aktivhostel HängeMatt features a shared lounge, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Matt. Free WiFi and a shared kitchen are featured.

At the hostel, every room is fitted with a wardrobe.

Guests at Aktivhostel HängeMatt can enjoy a continental breakfast. Everything. All the reviews about this accomodation are true. To provide a more unique piece of comment, when I arrived late, tired and outside of incheck hours, I found the bedsheets presented neatly inside-out. In case we are not familiair with how to make up a bed the easiest way, take the sheets inside-out and shake like crazy. I was tired and I was positively speechless (if I was talking). Never made a bed up so easily in my life, for real. On a more personal experience, Matt really gave me the “Swiss” feeling that other, more touristy places, failed me to provide. I felt comfortable and like at home in the area, but then in Switzerland. I will definitely come back here, to climb the mountain across Matt. I did not have the time for it sadly. Also, ja, Florian, cool dude. The reviews about the host does him right. (Also you get free public transport btw, in the Kanton)
