This hotel is not what I typically consider three star for this area, for Switzerland, or really for any first world country. Two basic issues: property is dilapidated and room 247 smells like sewage. It was either destroyed by rockstars in the 70s and never cleaned or I’m thinking pee party of some kind… Like Steele dosiers type stuff. Staff are professional and courteous and breakfast is decent. Feel need to be cleansed by both a firehose and perhaps a shaman after staying here though.
An easy 10 minute walk from the train station. The building looks a little old but everything is good and clean.
We would have preferred to have a room on the second floor. Didn't realize when booking it was 76 stairs from the street to our room on the 4th level. The room was clean and comfortable but too much work for us in our 70's to pack luggage up the stairs, since there was no lift. Right in the middle of Zermatt though so close to many shops and restaurants.
