We enjoyed our stay at The Derby. It was centrally located and close to the train station. Check in was easy and the host was friendly and very accommodating. Our room was clean and nicely decorated. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was offered with the room, which is always nice to have! We would definitely stay there again!
This property was clean and newly renovated. Nice staff. Very helpful. Loved K
Kristianne at the desk. She was so willing to help us. Would definitely go back. Also fantastic free breakfast in hotel restaurant and we ate dinner there one and was good.
This is a fabulous place to stay! The front desk staff had a great sense of humor & explained everything very well. The ‘family’ room for 3 was very clean, comfortable, and looked new! Small balcony was a treat. A bottle of water provided was a nice touch. The restaurant food was delicious & the wait staff was nice. Although the hostess reprimanded me for not telling her we were hotel guests (in order to get the discount on our meal) but I had already told that to the person I saw first, which was our waiter. We appreciated the discount as the meal prices aren’t cheap. The morning breakfast was excellent! A great variety of food, nutritious & delicious. So different from many hotel breakfasts in the USA. It was a short walk to the train station. Overall I would highly recommend the Hotel Derby!

Very nice property close to the train station. We were warmly welcomed and enjoyed our room. Highly recommend.
Zermatt is mainly closed in May. First thing hôtel told us. Could have been useful pre holiday information.
Main complaint of resort was the constant noise of helicopters and building construction.
Hotel Derby was open and very welcoming but walking trails also closed from village. Won’t return
The front desk clerk, Kristina (I’m so sorry if that’s incorrect, it’s been a few days) was A-mazing! She is a wealth of knowledge and has an answer for everything. If ever I needed some guidance, she stepped up. Oh, the room and location were great too. 😉
Hotel Derby was a very comfortable stay.
The Good:
- The staff was very accommodating and friendly
- The room and facilities were very clean
- Middle of shopping district in Zermat. Very busy and walkable environment.
The Bad:
- The room was fairly hot in the night time even with the heat off. We needed to open the window overnight which caused lot of noise in the late night and morning due to the location.
- Water temperature was not very hot for shower
- The mountain view is not a view of Matterhorn, rather some shorter mountains in the area. Barely viewable on the second highest floor balcony.
- Breakfast was included but did not have too much options and had mediocre taste even compared to some cheaper stays in Swiss
Kristiana was a lovely lady, she helped us with our check-in and check-out. She gave us tips to see the webcam matterhorn. The hotel interior was neat and clean, little balcony was cute. We’re comfortable and we enjoyed our stay.
