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.

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.

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.

This was a nice stay right in the heart of Zermatt. Though it was an older place (which was reflective in the rooms) it was a good place for the price. The staff was kind and helpful.

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!

Authentic nice building. Rooms are not very soundproof. Showerhead was hanging so low, I was only able to wash my hear sitting down. The nice location as well as the price make up for that. There's lots of restaurants, shops and bike rentals nearby. Staff was very friendly and helpful. If you don't mind my first points of comment, then I would definitely recommend.

We had a room at the front of the building and it was AMAZING!! Yes, we had to lug a suitcase each up the narrow stairs, but once up there and the view is seen, all is forgiven!! I made my family sleep with the doors open for the fresh air, and so I could hear the music and sounds of town as I drifted off to sleep. Then waking up to the sun rising over the mountains, birds chirping.... It was perfect!! Breakfast was the cherry on top!! Besides the very easy walk from the station, hehe! Definitely recommend this place if you have the physical ability to carry suitcases up stairs :)

I liked the balcony and view of square from there. Problems are it's right next to bust main street, so noise is issue. More that that my problem was the cigarette smoke from the bar downstairs which has outdoor nice seating. This place is in middle of hustle bustle but you have to pay price for it. I liked it. Next time I will choose some quieter place.
