Value for Money in Zermatt
Friendly lady boss reception and housekeeping. Clean pillows and bed linens. Good water pressure with warm water for showing. WiFi working well. Hotel is a little old and dated and in need of some maintenance but otherwise we had a comfortable stay and it was value for money.

Serve with the basic needs to stay overnight
Hotel staff are the same as those at the Italian restaurant downstairs where I checked in. Breakfast is simple and delicious. Room got refreshed daily, very cozy to hang out but basic.

Room was a fourth floor walk up. Nice view from the room. Lots of noise late into the night from restaurants and foot traffic. It’s difficult to find the entrance.

Disliked: Amenities
This hotel was super convenient for staying in Zermatt and makes it very easy to go skiing! The breakfast included was also very nice and the staff was kind. That said, the area is very loud at night (club/loud music) which made it quite difficult to sleep. It definitely helps you stay in Zermatt on a tighter budget, but would recommend investing in some strong earplugs.
