Set in the Ursern Valley, Gasthaus Skiklub is surrounded by the Oberalp and the Gotthard passes. The Andermatt cable car to Gemsstock is 100 metres away and rooms have free Wi-Fi.

The individually furnished rooms are all equipped with cable TV and there is free mineral water in the rooms.

Really loved everything about this place. I don’t normally do shared bathrooms when booking hotels etc but this place was immaculate and only two rooms to each bathroom/toilet. Breakfast was lovely. Lady running the place was friendly and helpful. What a pleasant stay- thank you. Loved that there’s safe storage for our bikes too (cycle holiday).

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    location was brilliant. and the staff were cool really likes the owner he is very pleasant. plus he has a lovely dog. I was late for dinner service and the lady still made me a sandwich so I don’t go hungry. breakfast was good too bikers: there is a safe place to park your bike at the property even though it’s shared bathroom and shower I found it was kept clean so didn’t feel like it was used by many people.

    Location is perfect just prior to the tunnel, from the North. Internet is fast and reliable. Key safe so no need to align arrival times. Fridge is convenient. Spacious for its price. Parking on its own lot across the street. Firm bed, wide and long enough. Sofa and very spacious terrace for your own. Light from two sides No mosquitos at all! Great pressure on the shower Water Boiler and instant coffee provided Power outlets near the bed: yay Comfy towels, smelling nice Thoroughly clean!
