Very good simple traditional hotel
Good little hotel. Small but clean rooms. Very friendly staff. Walking-distance to the cabine into the ski domain. Parking on-site. Charming and old school Swiss experience.

Petit hotel bien situé à proximité des pistes de ski. Personnel charmant et accueillant. Le seul bémol étant l’isolation entre les chambres qui laisse entendre tout un tas de sons ;)

Great hotel near lifts
Easy check in, good hospitality and easy 5 minute walk to lifts. Only downside no elevator so if you habe luggage best to stay on lower floors.

Einfach und empfehlenswert
Das Haus strahlt Geschichte aus. Innen sanft modernisiert und erfischend einfach und zweckmässig. Kein grosser Luxus aber solide und sauber. Menüauswahl etwas bescheiden, dafür aber richtig herzhaft schmackhaft. Für einen Kurzaufenthalt absolut empfehlenswert.

Hidden Treasury in great location
We found the hotel by chance when looking for a spot in the Alps not overrun by tourist as many of the big locations. At 1600 m above sea we felt in the heart of the mountains, and Zinal is a wonderful location for day trips to the nearby attractions and hiking tours.
