Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with spacious rooms offering great views of the mountains from my balcony. The attentive service made me feel truly welcomed throughout, although the dining experience lacked some variety. The peaceful location, just a short walk from the town center, provided a perfect retreat after my hikes.
The hotel is nestled in the peaceful old part of Zermatt, away from the noisy center, offering cozy and well-thought-out rooms with convenient heated racks for boots. The service was attentive without being overbearing, always preempting our needs. The dining experience was fantastic with a great variety of dishes. The location enjoys a gorgeous view of the mountains and is high up on a hill, providing a serene atmosphere. However, the dining could be slightly improved in certain aspects.
My stay at the hotel was truly Swiss perfection, with stunning mountain views and all the comfort one could ask for. The location was peaceful, just a short walk uphill from the town center but away from the noise, making it a beautiful retreat. The service was impeccable, from friendly restaurant staff to helpful front desk support. The dining experience, while quite nice, could have benefited from a bit more variety and flair. The facilities were top-notch, complimenting the overall experience nicely.
My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic. The rooms were big enough for two of us and very comfy, offering a nice view of the garden and mountains. After long days of skiing, the rooms were amazing to unwind in. The service was top-notch, with everyone being so nice and always offering support before it was asked for. The location was great, just a brief stroll away from the main street, feeling like a private lodge retreat. The dining experience was lovely, especially the omelet with fresh herbs, but the fruit juice quality could be improved. The facilities were excellent, making my stay even more enjoyable.
