Reviews and Ratings
This hotel offers a delightful stay with spectacular views of the Matterhorn, a fantastic continental breakfast, and charming rooms with balconies. The service is exceptional, and the location is conveniently close to all Zermatt attractions. However, the dining options are limited and the facilities could benefit from some enhancements.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with breathtaking views of the Matterhorn from my room. The cozy room lacked a cooler, but had enough space to put all my clothes. The service was exceptional, with attentive housekeeping, a delightful welcome drink, and pet amenities available. The location was perfect, nestled in a quiet area while still being close to Zermatt Train station and hiking trails. The dining experience, especially the foie gras, was exceptional. Overall, I truly enjoyed my time at this hotel.
The hotel offers breathtaking views of the Matterhorn and serves a great continental breakfast, though lacking in room coolers. The location is perfect for accessing hiking trails and the city center, but there are no pet amenities available. The service for tours and ticket assistance is excellent. The dining experience includes classic dishes, and the facilities are top-notch. However, some rooms lack coolers for warmer days, and no pet amenities could be a downside.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and with a fantastic view of the Matterhorn. The continental breakfast was delightful, but it would have been nice to have a cooler in the room. The location is superb, very close to the city center and the train station, although I was slightly disappointed that the restaurant is closed on Mondays.
The hotel offers stunning views of the Matterhorn and serves a delicious continental breakfast. The rooms are spacious and ideal for storing clothes, but they lack air conditioning. The service is exceptional, with attentive housekeeping and pet amenities available. The location is peaceful and convenient for accessing all the activities Zermatt has to offer, although it sits on a hill. While the fresh sushi dining is a standout, the absence of a cooler in the rooms is a drawback.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The Matterhorn view from the rooms was breathtaking, the continental breakfast was delicious, and the location was perfect for accessing the ski lifts. However, not having a cooler in the room was a bit inconvenient for keeping drinks cold. The service was exceptional with attentive housekeeping and pet amenities available, but it was disappointing that the restaurant was closed on Mondays. Overall, a great value for such a cozy and convenient stay.
