There’s a reason why this is the cheapest option in a central location - the condition of the hotel is poor, rooms small and practically no frills. Expedia advertised a ski and boot storage room but no such thing exists - instead there are a few open racks for skis just off the Main Street so didn’t feel a safe option. That said the hotel has no problem with guests taking skis and boots into the bedrooms. For all that, the breakfast was pretty decent, the staff friendly and the rooms warm so if you’re just looking for somewhere to get your head down for the night then it’s not an awful option

The room was fine, it was the access that was difficult, the stairs were steep, we had to access at least 4 floor levels. The access, the room was small and the bathroom requires a privacy curtain on the window, the room radiator had no control with poor water circulation only heating the top 10% of the radiator.

No staff at check in. They went home at noon! The room is an unupdated relic from the 70's. Overpriced garbage!

The key for my room was just hanging up in the unlocked reception, and the phone number didn't work. For what i paid, this hotel felt overpriced as it was charmless and basic. The bed I'll admit was comfortable and there was a bath but, yeah not great. Would look for alternatives next time

We had room 14 and would have had view on the Matterhorn if conditions would have been better. Room confortable for three nights and very central. Very good value for money in Zermatt. Fernanda is a very nice person. Good breakfast. Only negative point for me, as a tall person, was the height of the ceiling in the shower.

Hotel is rustic chalet style. Small but comfortable rooms. No welcoming front desk, just keys hanging on a board. Great location to Zermatt station, many food options, a little noisy when these close for the night.

Room was clean. Staff were rude. Shower didn’t drain. Walls are very thin so you can clearly hear your neighbors. It’s a good location but it may be worthwhile to pay a bit more elsewhere.

First, we couldn’t find the entrance to the hotel (I had to ask a very annoyed shop owner at the street…she was complaining about having to do this all the time). No one was there to meet us for checkin, there are no elevators, nor was anyone to help us bring our large heavy luggage up 4 flights of stairs in a very narrow stairwell. The bumping music from the bars kept us up all night, and the majority of the lightbulbs in the unit were out…don’t waist your time!

Clean, safe and spacious room. Mattresses need replacing and the hotel’s proximity to the local bars made it a bit noisy. However, Overall we had a good stay.

The hotel is in the main street of Zermatt, and it’s just a 6-minute walk from the train station. It’s above a restaurant on a busy street, so it’s a bit noisy at night. It was manageable and I did manage to sleep. So it was okay.

Although the property was older, this just added to the charm for us. We could view the Matterhorn from our bedroom window and this hotel was in the best location of the whole of Zermatt. There is no lift, so alot of stairs with heavy cases. But we were aware and didnt mind the extra fitness. Breakfast was included and much appreciated. Would definately stay again.

The WiFi was unusable - too slow, no connection, or poor connection. Many stairs to room on top floor with no elevator. Hotel located near church with constant church bells ringing and noise from downtown - being earplugs. Comfortable bed. Clean room. Poor lighting in room. Standard, basic European breakfast.
