10/10 Exceptional

Zermatt is expensive. So I was looking at something at a more favourable price and crossing my fingers it wasn’t dreadful. It turns out that this hotel was a really awesome place to stay, if you want to have a few CHF left in your pocket to enjoy the opportunities in the mountains. The rooms are small, but clean, comfortable and efficiently laid out. The breakfast was amazing. The staff were super helpful. (I forgot that the shops close for lunch and I couldn’t get my ski equipment back to the shop before my train departure. The staff member at the desk promised to take care of it. Here’s the BEST THING about this hotel: location! It’s an easy walk from the train station but not on the main street (which I imagine can be noisy) and mere steps away from a bus stop for both the red and green lines.

Staff were warm and friendly especially the bartenders whose names I can’t remember. There was this one guy who was courteous to point out a few hotspots nearby which made my overnight stay better. Thank you ;) I enjoyed the ambiance, heated towel racks and warm bathroom floor. It was short stay but good place to stay. I would visit again and recommend to others.

A nice property just a 10 minute walk from the train station. Several nice restaurants nearby. Breakfast was okay. We didn’t care for the coffee, but there was a nice selection of breads including croissants. We would stay here again.

We stayed at a room with a balcony facing mt Matterhorn. Train station is in walking distance and the streets are luggage friendly. The hotel is close to the river and you will have lots of dining options. With the forever changing mountain climate, clouds flying in and out, a nice Mountain View helped in deciding when to head to the top viewing platform.

We only stayed one night in summer and we enjoyed our stay. The hotel is 5 minutes walk from train station and the room was spacious. We had a balcony with a view of the Matterhorn. Breakfast was included. Ideal hotel for short stays as convenient to train station and village.

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.
