    No elevator.

    Good location in Zermatt. Next to the restaurant pub Brown Cow which offers good food for a good price considering you are in Zermatt. Check in was easy.

    Very small room but quite adequate. No lift. Luckily we only had to carry our suitcases to the 1st floor.

    Very quaint budget hotel with everything you need. Continental breakfast included in the price. Inexpensive hotel on Swiss standards but expensive on Australian standards for what you get. Great location, close to the station.

    Zermatt is a fabulous place. The location of the hotel is ideal. Some noise from the bar across the road but this wasn't a problem as went quiet later in the night. The bakery below the hotel was fantastic.

    The room was very old, it would help a refresh. Breakfast was just ok. Very noisy location. Not possible to keep the window open because facing a common balcony.

    Location is excellent, very simple clean room, very noisy because facing the main street. Check-in a bit confusing, no staff at the reception. Overall the accomodation is acceptable.

    Just the noise levels coming from bars / restaurant at night, kept me awake on the Ist night. (2nd night was quiet on a Monday).

    Proximity to the shops, train station, cable cars, situated right in the Main Street. Though simple, good selection of breakfast. The lady owner (I think) was kind enough to ask and served what we wanted for a drink (coffee or tea).

    Room was small for 4 people sharing but I guess we knew that when booked - the location certainly makes up for that.

    We loved Zermatt - what a place. The hotel is perfect location right in the centre of Zermatt and within a few minutes walk of everything and a balcony to chill out. Breakfast was good and plentiful. We booked Matterhorn Glacial Paradise which was fantastic and would highly recommend - the views and experience are amazing. We also booked a single ticket on the Gornergrat Railway and hiked back to Zermatt again amazing experience with fantastic views and so simple to follow the hiking route.

    Noisy at night due to surrounding bars. (Not the fault of the hotel). Shower attachment on the wall was broken so had to sit in the bottom of the bath to shower. Cleaners were making up the room for the next guests before we had checked out at 10:00.

    Central location with breakfast included. Lovely old building.

    The room and bathroom were rather small, but since we only stayed for one night that didn't matter much. I imagine if you're staying longer, it might be a bit annoying.

    The hotel was close to the train station and budget friendly compared to others in the area, which was most important for us. There was some noise outside at night, but this was to be expected as it was a Friday night and a street with a lot of bars and restaurants. With earplugs it was fine. Nice breakfast and easy check in.
