Spacious room with large comfortable bed and balcony. Very cozy hotel with an excellent bar area by fireplace, great breakfast and excellent location. Two minutes from train station.
The staff were so friendly from the second we arrived, the room was spotless and they even took our luggage up for us as we had arrived early and left our bags at reception. It had a warm, cosy atmosphere with a log fire going in the evenings, and felt really welcoming.
The staff was extremely friendly. I felt as safe as being at home. The breakfast and dinner were great! It was a very short & convenient walk from the train station. My family misses it…
Located on the main street in Zermatt, within minutes from the train station. The room is spacious and beds are comfortable..the breakfast was superb too.
We used the sauna rooms in the wellness centre which is free for use. They were in tip top condition.

Property was in an excellent location. Very close to the train stay and easy navigation to everywhere we wanted to go.
The staff was so friendly at check in and check out. The restaurant staff was so friendly as well. The location was perfect to walk to the train station and the gondola to the Matterhorn. We had a beautiful view of the Matterhorn from our room!
