Youth Hostel Pontresina in Pontresina

This is the value option to stay in the area. The hostel is next to the station, handy for walks and cross country skiing, but a short walk from the town. The rooms are clean and reasonably spacious. Shared showers which is not a problem, since there are three showers for 7 rooms. Unfortunately, only one women's toilet, but more just across the landing. Staff were really friendly and helpful and breakfast was great by any standards.

The location is excellent, and the staff are very friendly, helpful, and professional. You feel welcome immediately. Everything was clean and well-organized. I would gladly come back again and can only highly recommend this place.

Very nice, alm good

Ideal location near the train station. Spotlessly clean! Large common areas. Excellent breakfast. Warm, large duvet. Friendly staff.

In my opinion, the interior design is a bit too functional.

Wonderful, welcoming, clean place to stay.

simple and good

The counter service was excellent, the restaurant food was delicious, economical, and very clean. Ski equipment was available downstairs, and it was easily accessible by bus, even being near the train station – everything was very convenient.

Good location, also suitable for those traveling with a dog.

The most convenient location when getting off of the train, directly across the street from the station!
The hostel is a 15 minute walk from the town main street and has a restaurant right next door, also.

The hostel itself is neat, although there is no elevator it's only got 3 floors and the stairs were spacious enough so getting to the room wasn't too bad.

The mixed 6bed dorm on the 3rd floor was rather small, it may be challenging to move around it should all the beds be filled and everyone would have luggage. The pillow and duvet covers were really nice, clean and felt good on the skin. The room temperature was good. Both, the towels and the room locker were extra (CHF 3 for the towel, CHF 2 for the locker). The window was overlooking the train station, so although it wasn't "mountain view", it was entertaining watching people get off the Bernina Express and take selfies and posing as groups before hopping back on.

The bathrooms are separated for male/female and are spacious, the female portion was clean and the water was nice and hot.

The common areas had seating, electric kettle, books.. but nothing much was happening there.

The restaurant seemed cozy with its fireplace, it is a shame it is limited to certain hours :( and the guests are expected to leave promptly. Breakfast ends at 10am and the staff does check to make sure everyone is gone. Dinner is 6-8pm I believe, and again, after dinner the place is locked down. It would have been lovely to be able to sit by the fireplace after dinner.

Breakfast was tasty and provided some hard boiled eggs, yogurts, muesli, cereal, breads, jelly, honey...

Reception staff was very friendly and helpful!

Overall a great stay and I would stay again.

Stayed here as a cheap option for a family of four. We stayed in a quad room with bunk beds. One minute walk to the train station, but 10 minutes to Pontresina. Breakfasts was surprisingly excellent. Good access to hiking and biking. Strick on check-in (4pm) .
