If you book online this place is pricey. We actually used an agent who specializes in rail travel, so I'm not entirely sure how much we paid for this hotel. It was all one lump sum for the package.
When we arrived they had a really cool thing at the train station. There's a phone with a board that lists hotels. You find yours, punch in the three digit number, and it rings the hotel. Then they send their "trolly" for you. It's really an electric vehicle that is a cross between a golf cart, a minivan, and one of the square Scion cars. I noted all the taxis were electric, too. But the hotel car was free!!
Incredible view from our room (overlooking the river, the cemetery (quiet neighbors!), and the Matterhorn). The room was adequately spacious that we weren't cramped with the three of us and our bags. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was in good shape. We got the breakfast as part of the package, and it was a decent European breakfast. No fridge in the room (though it got cold enough at night we used the balcony to store a few things). No microwave either. No safe (that I saw). The staff was very friendly and helpful.
In terms of amenities it's probably 3 stars. But the location and the view have to count for something! And for a European hotel the room was very spacious.
This was probably the best hotel of our entire trip. I would definitely want to stay here again if we ever return to Zermatt. It does appear they cater to skiers in the winter. read more
