I had such a lovely stay at this hotel! The highlight was definitely the incredible view of the Matterhorn from my room, which came with a spacious balcony that I absolutely loved. The location was great as well, just a short walk from the train station and close to ski lifts. However, I found that the service could be a bit more enthusiastic at times, which was a slight downside.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, located just a short walk from the train station and near various bus stops, making it super convenient for getting around. The rooms were unexpectedly large for a European hotel and provided all the comfort I needed. The service was friendly, though a bit high-strung at times, and the breakfast spread was definitely satisfying. On the downside, I felt like the dining options could have been a bit more varied to enhance my experience.

The hotel had spacious and clean rooms with stunning views of the Matterhorn, making it a great pick for families. The friendly and helpful staff truly made us feel at home.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel which offers great views of the Matterhorn, and the proximity to the ski lifts and Zermatt's center is genuinely a plus. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, but I did notice they could use a bit of renovation, and it’s important to mention that the restrooms are not wheelchair accessible. The service was a mix—some staff were really helpful while others seemed a bit grumpy. Overall, I'd say it’s a pretty good value, but there are still areas for improvement.
