    The room was a good size, but the bunk bed lacked headroom, making it impossible to sit upright comfortably. The bathroom lighting was poor, and the Wi-Fi connection was unreliable, frequently dropping out. As a small hotel, there was no elevator, and we had to carry heavy luggage up four flights of stairs—though we acknowledge that was on us for not checking ahead.

    This hotel is situated in the very heart of Zermatt, offering easy access to restaurants, shops, and transportation to key attractions—all within walking distance. The breakfast is adequate, with fewer options than other hotels, but the quality of food remains excellent. A view of the Matterhorn is just a few steps outside the hotel, making it a truly scenic stay.

    No kitchen but it doesn’t bother us, we are still happy for extra sink in the kitchen area.

    We had a ground floor family room which provided a comfortable space for four of us. Wifi is smooth and location is great. Although it’s on ground floor but it’s not so noisy at night time. Breakfast is included with our room, we are happy for our stay.

    It sits across from multiple nightclubs and the music goes well into the night making it very hard to sleep. The bathroom in our room had two windows that were not covered so you can see guests dining at the restaurant from the bathroom. We didn’t encounter a staff member during check in or check out.

    The room was quite spacious for the location.

    Directions could be clearer. We were a little confused as you have to wind around and upstairs from a not obvious entrance, and the restaurant name given to mark the location has two locations of the same name, and it's not the first one from the train station. Staying on the top floor is a long walk up the narrow stairs with and without luggage, and low ceilings that we had to duck as we are tall Americans. But for this high-end town, it was still a bargain. There really isn't anyone to answer questions except the people who are cleaning, so it's very self-help.

    The breakfast was good. The location is terrific, though not easy to find. The hotel is historic,a bit outdated, but the price and location are worth it. Zermatt is beautiful.

    The noise, so much noise from the street. I had read that in other reviews and brought earplugs which I very much needed in order to sleep (we were on the first floor). The bathroom door did not close properly and the sink did not drain unless the whole plug was removed. The pillows were quite tall and we didn't find them comfortable.

    Great central locations, comfy beds although the pillows were not the best, clean. We arrived around 7pm and checked ourselves in. Polite staff the next morning gave us padlocks for the lockers to store our bags. We didn't get up early to have breakfast so no opinion on that. Overall, given the expensive prices of Zermatt, it wasn't bad for one night.

    Room was a bit small. Balcony was shared with another room, meaning we could not leave windows open at night or while we were out

    Location was perfect. Center of the action. Perfect for leaving bags any running around town. They were very accommodating letting us leave our luggage before the rooms were ready so that we could explore. Very nice.
