The hotel boasts an exquisite ambiance, adorned with climbing gear and captivating photographs. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the breakfast selections added to the convenience of our stay. Most notably, the assistance provided by the front desk staff in organizing our stay and excursions was invaluable, with special recognition to Rebecca for her exceptional support.

Hidden gem!

The hotel staff were great! The room was very clean and quite spacious. We were shocked to find that our room had an excellent view of the Matterhorn from the balcony. The breakfast that was included was also very nice! It was more than a buffet. They also provided hot dishes to order along with fresh hot cappuccinos.

Just right!

This hotel was perfect for us. Traveling as a family of four (two grown boys plus parents), it’s hard to find places where you don’t have to book two rooms. This ‘apartment’ was perfect. Large bed for us and twin lifts for the boys. Breakfast was great, staff helpful and fun. Highly recommend.

Wow! We have loved all our stops, but what do you say about a place that is very clean, has a huge room, large bathroom AND a balcony that looks directly at Matterhorn?!! I say that we will be back. Rebecca at the desk was so helpful. She got us checked in quickly, gave us our key (a real key. You’ll understand it fits the whole vibe) and we were quickly off to walk around town. The hotel has a family run feel and I should have asked. Or maybe it says and we were just too busy having fun to notice. Rebecca was also very helpful in getting us information about skiing and made reservations at a fondue restaurant for us. I will say that everything in Zermatt is expensive so don’t let the price, alone, turn you off. This hotel and the town are so cool. It is definitely worth the small splurge. Breakfast is also included and quite good. Can’t wait to get back!
