We stated at Hotel Julen for 2 days May 7 & 8th to go up the Matterhorn. Our room was very nice and very clean, staff were very friendly and welcoming. The included breakfast had everything anyone could desire. We had supper at one of the restaurants ( Schaferstube) in the hotel on our 2nd night. For those looking for a traditional Swiss atmosphere and food we would highly recommend it. We had the beef fondue which was excellent. Location is excellent. We would highly recommend this hotel.

Hotel Julien is charming and the staff is so friendly and attentive to their guests. The rooms are so nice, many extras that you don't see at other hotels. My only negative comment is that there didn't seem to be appropriate covering on the bathroom window for night time use, and it was difficult to reach close to the bathroom mirror to apply makeup.

Beautiful and charming hotel in the perfect Zermatt location. Nice view of the Matterhorn from our balcony. Everything in town was walkable (though they sent a free shuttle to pick us up from the train station when we first arrived). We loved the pool and spa and they even made our dog feel at home. Very highly recommended.

Exceptional Hotel

The Hotel was to say the least exceptional. It was approximately 15 minutes from the train and an breath taking walk for views as they were phenomenal. It was later in the day on arrival. We had some clothes to be cleaned. We had checked in, they recommended the restaurant below on site. The room was awesome with 2 balconies, the room was not short of anything we needed for our stay, free mini bar (Hi Lite LOL). After dinner we returned to the room to find our clothes to be cleaned returned. We had a clear night to enjoy a beverage from our balcony and enjoy the views, a moon lit evening and stars just blazing. Awesome service! We enjoyed the pool and any amenity we could. The only thing i would change was the length of stay. We would have loved to be there for a week. Walking distance to anywhere was close.

A romantic, traditional Swiss Chalet feel to the hotel with a wonderful staff. If you want a view of the Matterhorn make sure you request it when booking. Even without it, step outside to and have a coffee or meal at the Old Zermatt across the street and you have the best view of the mountain when she is out! There are two restaurants in the hotel and both of them are excellent with friendly and professional staff!
