This hotel did an excellent job of caring for us. We were stranded in Zermatt with no power and no means of getting out of the town until the avalanche was cleared. The hotel staff went out of their way to make sure we had food and warm blankets, all with good cheer.

The hotel is good overall for the location and staff and room. The facility is little bit old. The only issue is the shuttle service. Hotel never mentioned the shuttle service is available for picking up so we went to hotel by self. When leaving, hotel arranged shuttle service to train station and claimed hotel will pay but the driver asked us to pay since hotel didn’t give him ticket. That is terrible arrangement.

It was a pleasure staying in this beautiful, spacious and very convenient hotel. The staff, specially Ms. Monika is super helpful and accommodating. It is very convenient to get to the main market area in 2 minutes and not too far from Matterhorn glacier paradise gateway. The in hotel dinner option came as a surprise- excellent food and local delicacies- simply yummy. The hotel was kind to us to arrange complementary drop off to train station. We stayed 3 nights in this very relaxing hotel. The room was facing motherhorn -South view

Stunning views

Great location and nice hotel. Room was pretty small for the price, but the balcony overlooking the stunning mountain range of Switzerland made up for it. The hotel offered a decent breakfast and you have plenty of food options nearby. Overall the hotel views were stunning and it was a decent hotel.

The room was generously sized. It had a balcony facing the clouds in front of the Matterhorn. Fairly quiet in the evening. Day time noise is mostly the construction all over Zermatt - workers in little trucks, helicopters flying materials back and forth, tools in use. When last I was in Zermatt it was a tiny village. Now it's a small town growing ever larger.

The hotel was right in middle of town, short walk to train and lifts to skiing hiking and biking. Some construction going on next door so ask for higher floor

We had a great view of the Matterhorn from our room balcony! It was unbelievable to have that site right outside our room every time we woke up or cared to look out the window! Excellent location!

OK hotel, nothing special

One night stay

The location of the hotel convenient. Our room is nice and spacious, in fact the biggest one we had during our two weeks trip. Room is clean, but unfortunately the bed is not comfortable to sleep. Our room has a balcony with view of the mountain, but unfortunately was block due to construction. The breakfast is good. The staff is friendly.
