The staff was excellent especially Miss Tatiana and so is the E-Taxi drivers. The hotel is a short walk to the Main Street and the food is good. Overall we had a good trip

Lovely hotel with really nice personal touches. Great location, very close to the train station. The spa was unexpected and fantastic! A real highlight is the view of the matterhorn from the hot tub! Would highly recommend and look forward to coming back.

The view to the Matterhorn was amazing. The breakfast was very good and you had Matterhorn views there also. The staff was very friendly and eager to help. The hotel's location is great and you can reach everything pretty fast. All in all a fantastic stay in Zermatt!

breakfast is very good, many types of cheeses, cold cuts, fresh bread, juices. the staff is very polite, friendly, ready to help in everything. the spa area is beautiful, a separate floor with panoramic windows, a very cool sauna and a hydromassage pool with hot water outside and a view of the mountains

Most friendly and helpful staff. Incredible breakfast. Very nice spa with a jacuzzi that has a full view of the Matterhorn. Good facilities for those who will ski on the last day after checkout - changing room and shower.
