Overall it’s a okayish experience and the downside is it’s like a 7-8mins walk from Zermatt train station and they didn’t provide the taxi(yes, they do arrange if you have more bags as it’s a car free town) for our return journey at 6am. I think they have their own taxi but it’s kept in garage for some reason. If you have more bags, better to opt for a hotel who provides taxi during early hours like 6am. They provided the taxi at 12.30pm when we checked in though. Also, luggage storage is at your own risk because their actual storage room is full when we went at 12pm and the receptionist said “you can leave in the hall way near reception” and we were worried about it. Coming to the room, the south facing with balcony has the best direct view of Matterhorn and it’s totally worth the extra bucks!

I love this property. My room is small but it is in good condition. I love breakfast options. The only thing to let everyone knows in advance is that it is up at the hill so please prepare for the walk and luggage.

We were on the top floor and the last floor up does not have a lift. I was grumpy about it at first but our view of the Matterhorn was so spectacular that it was worth the inconvenience. Only complaint I have is their check in was 3pm and the reception desk wasn't staffed until the. So there was no getting in our room early but we were able to store our luggage.

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.
