In reply to mattgrange:
If fact now i've been thinking back to the hotel i remember that we asked the lady if it'd be okay to leave our gear after checking out, we didn't travel back to Zurich till evening so wanted to squeeze one more route in, she said it was fine and we'd be welcome to use the bathrooms for a shower etc if we wanted to as well. The weather crapped out on that last day so didn't bother in the end. When we settled up before leaving she presented us both with a box of chocs that were shaped like the Matterhorn. A lovely touch and although we were only there for sleeping, I felt that nothing would have been too much trouble if we needed to ask her help.
Would I go there again? Yes so i guess thats a good recommendation. We did think about booking the Matterhorn hostel in the town but read plenty of horror stories so considered the saving not worth the risk
This was September 2011 BTW
