Very charming hotel. The reception staff, specially Katie were very welcoming and helpful.
The hotel is very close to the town center so everything is at most 10 min walking.
Very comfortable rooms and bed and amazing breakfast and food in the stockhorn.
Highly recommended
Beautiful property close to yet tucked away from the main streets. The included breakfast and spa were so worth it! The hotel staff were also incredibly helpful. And if you book a room with a view of the Matterhorn you’ll get one of the best views out there!
Super tastefully designed, great ambience and helpful staff. Easy access to skiing and great amenities that complement the stay, incl. a nice spa and a cosy cocktail bar.
Everything from location to comfort to staff to the spa was amazing! The bar at the hotel was esthetically beautiful and the bartender made some of the best drinks I ever had. This hotel was a perfect package for everything with great pricing!
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The hotel was located in a perfect spot to walk to either mountain base and easily access the ski lifts. The view of the Matterhorn from the balcony was incredible.
The Rexx is a phenomenal hotel with impeccable customer service! The property was very maintained along with the spacious beautiful rooms. The spa was very lovely and relaxing. If I find myself back in Zermatt, I will definitely return to The Rexx!
