Great Hotel in a Great Location
The property is in a central and very convenient location. It’s less than a 5-minute walk from the train station. The staff was great and helpful. The room was a bit too warm for my liking but not a huge deal. Overall, a solid property.

Zermatt in the Summer - Excellent
The Alex is a traditional hotel, it is good in the heat of the summer so it must be great for the winter snow season. Very convenient for the station being only 150M to psh the cases.

Great place to stay in Zermatt. Very comfortable feel. It checks all the boxes. Ski lockers with helmet and glove dryers. Tennis and squash. Nice spa facility. And I dare you not to gain weight at the breakfast.

I throughly enjoyed my stay at the Alex. Staff was more than friendly and accommodating, the facilities are immaculately clean and the room and property had everything I wanted in a hotel. The Ski room with heated boot and glove warmers in my private locker were a fantastic add that I wasn’t aware of. Sofi and the staff were very friendly. Everything is walkable from this location, including the train. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you!!

We stayed at the Alex Hotel in to celebrate a special occasion, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade, making our stay even more memorable. The hotel itself is beautiful, exceptionally clean, and incredibly comfortable.
The staff went above and beyond to make our stay perfect, with special thanks to Thomas, who was very welcoming upon check-in. The restaurant is outstanding and the food is delicious.
We will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

This property has a lot of charm even though it's an older property. It can be fairly noisy since it is older, but it has so much character and is in a great area. The hotel bar was a favorite at the end of the day before heading to dinner and even a place for a night cap. The bartender from Italy (i forgot his name) was attentive and fun. This place apparently gets extremely lively during ski season. My room was originally right by the elevator and they were able to accommodate me to a more quiet room which was nice. I had booked a small room, which was quaint, but clean and comfortable. It is walkable to all the attractions and to the gondola to the Matterhorn. I would stay here again.

We came to Zermatt last year and wanted to stay at Hotel Alex but others in the group did not and we ended up staying elsewhree at a nice place with no restaurant or gym but near the Matterhorn Express lift. This year after a group trip fell through we decided to give the Hotel Alex a try. It a much better experience in Zermatt. The location is perfect, right next to the train station and the coop is right across the street. The gym was great and I am a non skier so used it often. The vibe of the hotel is great. The staff are all wonderful, like you kind of expect from a family owned hotel. The restaurant for half board in the evening was amazing. You can add it for a reasonable fee each day and go out if you dont like the menu of the half board. The food at dinner was overall wonderful. The Raclette on Monday was a treat as was the desert buffet one day. The half board portions are fine and can enjoy multiple courses. Their wine list is extensive. I highly recommend the Hotel Alex. It was a great week in Zermatt.
