The hotel was right in middle of town, short walk to train and lifts to skiing hiking and biking. Some construction going on next door so ask for higher floor

OK hotel, nothing special
Position and view good, I had view over the town rather than the Matterhorn. Otherwise, ok but nothing special

The room was generously sized. It had a balcony facing the clouds in front of the Matterhorn. Fairly quiet in the evening. Day time noise is mostly the construction all over Zermatt - workers in little trucks, helicopters flying materials back and forth, tools in use. When last I was in Zermatt it was a tiny village. Now it's a small town growing ever larger.

We stayed at this hotel in Zermatt for one night and it was amazing! I was very surprised at how central the hotel is within Zermatt. It is close to the river but also very close to the high street, which is full of restaurants and bars. Upon arrival, we were upgraded to have a room with a view of the Matterhorn, as well as breakfast being included. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Zermatt and I would certainly stay here again.

The location of this hotel is so great - it is right in the center of town, close walk to the train station and many bars and restaurants, and the Main Street of shopping in town. It is great how breakfast is included, and the hotel is clean and nice with some rooms having a good view of the Matterhorn. I would recommend to anyone coming to Zermatt!

One night stay
The location of the hotel convenient. Our room is nice and spacious, in fact the biggest one we had during our two weeks trip. Room is clean, but unfortunately the bed is not comfortable to sleep. Our room has a balcony with view of the mountain, but unfortunately was block due to construction. The breakfast is good. The staff is friendly.
