It's unfortunate that yelp! reviews for hotels outside of the U.S. are scarce, which makes it so much harder avoid mistakes. This is particularly true when you are making a special vacation to Switzerland. On such a special trip you deserve and expect that distinctive atmosphere, service, decor, and hospitality that are unique to Swiss culture. In my experience, this place truly lacks such attributes or qualities. In terms of facilities, the room had a fly though it was the middle of winter. In my particular room, spotlights in the parking lot shone directly at my window and hit my eyes while I was trying to fall sleep. Also, the bathtub was dangerously high, hard to climb into, and easy to fall out off. The place gave me a general grossed-out feeling. Even more disturbing was their deceptive description on booking.com stating "The Alpenhotel features a restaurant serving Swiss and Italian specialities and every day you can start with the complimentary buffet breakfast." However, after you make your reservation, the booking.com website prompts you to respond whether you are interested in breakfast at CHF10 per person. I immediately called booking.com (call cost me nearly $9) and was promised they'd resolve this with the hotel owners and call me back. To date, they have not called back. At that point it was not possible to cancel my reservation without incurring a penalty of CHF 120 (over $133). Upon arriving to the hotel, the clerk asked me how many breakfasts I would like to purchase. I explained her the ad of complimentary breakfast and she said that under no circumstances would she honor that ad. She again inappropriately demanded 20 Francs from me. I declined breakfast, since at that point why would I want to eat with these folks? Almost week later, the false advertising still on ad hasn't been taken down from booking.com on the Internet.... Hello? Unlike other hotels in Switzerland where the staff has an excellent command of English (the language of travelers) and German (the official local language), the desk person at Alpenhotel exhibited proficiency in neither, which made it impossible for them to understand my complaints and me explaining the unfairness of their advertising. There is nothing Authentic or Authentically Swiss about this hotel, thus even the name "Alpenhotel" is deceiving and misleading. If you're on a budget, you're better off going to a "Jugendherberge" where you pay less for better facilities and enjoy an Authentic Swiss experience. Again, their facilities get two stars. It would take fewer stars to rating my experience with their misleading advertising and lack of integrity in their customer service.

We spent 2 nights at this hotel as part of a Viking Cruise extension. The hotel is well located for…read moretourists as it's very near the rail stations (the shuttle in and the Gornergrat Bahn, which goes to the glacier, with several stops). We stayed in mid-August and had a room with a balcony facing the main drag. This means a Matterhorn view when weather permits. We were fortunate to have good weather. Since there's no air conditioning at the hotel, having a window open is necessary on hot summer evenings. Unfortunately, there's always lots of activity on the main street so the noise level may bother some people if a window and/or balcony door are left open for ventilation. The hotel is luxurious but some areas have eclectic decor. We enjoyed the comfortable king bed, the ice cold tap water, and the quick hot water. The bathroom had niceties like a heated floor and heated towel rack, but the toiletries were inferior. We missed having an in-room safe. Our room and en suite bathroom were spacious by most European standards. Hanging and drawer space were adequate, and there were USB ports for charging electronics. Breakfast was included with our accommodations and was a buffet (actually 2 buffet set-ups, with one having gluten free selections) plus a choice of individually prepared eggs. While the selection of hot and cold foods was good, the food in the buffet chafing dishes was far from hot during our visit. There are 2 elevators serving the 4 guest floors in the hotel, so there can be backups during group check-ins and checkouts. This happened for our group and for at least one other we saw. The stairs are adjacent to the elevator, but the poor lighting in the stairwell made for an uncomfortable experience. We didn't use any of the spa facilities. While we enjoyed our stay, I might consider a different hotel if I return to Zermatt.

We really appreciated the attentiveness of the staff/cleaning/refills of items such as towels and tea bags. Our room was well appointed and spacious, with a ton of space for luggage, clothing storage, etc. One caveat and lesson learned, is that we booked a junior suite with Matterhorn view. Unfortunately we never saw the Matterhorn due to bad weather until the day we left. To clarify, this is no fault of the hotel's at all, but if we had known we wouldn't have wasted the money for the view. The AYCE breakfast for all guests is so delicious. We ate it 5 days in a row and never got sick of it. Great selection of European and western style breakfast items, and you can order eggs to your style. We tried dinner in the restaurant one night and that was good as well, even the simple items such as the salad. The amenities were great as well. The access to the spa was so nice for rainy days or after a hike. The area is generously sized with many different treatments, though wish the jacuzzi water temperature was hotter. Lastly, the staff are incredibly nice. Always greeting you and patiently helping with any questions. Definitely recommend staying here!
