“Beautiful Zermatt--Friendly staff”
I believe Hotel Bellerive is a returning gem! It has recently ungone renovation and we were there while some of the facilities are not quite "on line" yet, but it was still worth the stay! We throughly enjoyed our time here and wish we could have stayed longer! The room was clean, very comfortable, spacious bathroom with a real shower door (!), what a welcome site on our 15 day trip at 8 different hotels! We were so ignorant that we booked this hotel not realizing Zermatt is car-free! The staff helped us by phone with our late arrival and how to enter at night when the sleepy town was all but shut down! The local electric taxis and all worked out fine (an extra expense, but well worth it anyway). The breakfast was wonderful. I think Hotel Bellerive will be a wonderful choice for any traveller to Zermatt and prime once all the renovation is complete. We could tell it was so close, and wished we could have seen it with the all the trimmings! We checked in the day after they reopened and I'm sure it's fully on track as I write this review a week later! I can't say enough about the service and friendliness and helpfulness of the staff--from the reception to the food servers and housekeeping! Hotel Bellerive is a great and cost effective choice!
