    No lift and small staircase made it difficult to move luggage, even if on ground floor there are still stairs to navigate from the street. WiFi would often not work. On arrival, staff had closed up for day from noon, left all the rooms keys with people's names just in public area. Pillows were very flat

    Fantastic location, easy walk from train station. Good pricing compared to most of Zermatt

    The room was very small and lighting was a bit too dull for me. The building was old so the floors creaked a lot when other guests moved around on different floors, but it was quite a bit cheaper than other hotels. Only tea, no coffee.

    The view of the mountains. The balcony. The kettle in the room.

    No lift eventhough the hotel has 4 floors. If you don't ask for room on the 1st floor when booking it and you have a lot of heavy luggage, you have to carry your luggage all the way up to the 3rd floor...

    Clean and the facilities are good, a bit noisy due to the location near the church at the centrum. Host is very nice and there is luggage storage which you can still use after check-out

    Just all the steps, we were on the third floor!

    Beautiful village, lots to see and do. The hotel was crammed between 2 other buildings, and only accessible by lots of steps. We couldn't have dinner in the restaurant as it was fully booked. Room itself was small but comfortable.

    There was no lift and very narrow stairs to go up. Nobody was there to guide how to check inn since we booked late at night and reached after 8 pm. Very dim light in the room

    Near to main attractions very convenient location for roaming in the city and to reach chair lifts and train station

    The (most) famous bar in town is just across from the hotel, so ear plugs can be handy if you want to sleep with the window open to get fresh air. A bit more detail from the hotel about the self check-in procedure would be helpful (we did have to wander around a bit).

    Excellent price/quality ratio for our 1 night stay. Communication from hotel was good. Our room had a lovely balcony overlooking Bahnhofstr. Breakfast was nice.

    The room and the Bathroom were so small that we could not move, waking up you had the wall in front of your nose. The steps were horrible to claim with a suitcase. This Hotel is good for young Skiers.

    It is a budget hotel. we came during peak season, so hotel prices are quite expensive. No elevator (quite difficult for senior citizens) and breakfast is not a buffet style.

    The location of the hotel is very strategic, close to the Zermatt train station (just a 7-minute walk to the hotel). The hotel is also close to the Viewpoint Matterhorn (just a 2-minute walk).

    No reception or staff on site, I knew this when booking, but didnt expect to arrive to FULL NAMES on a page at the front door WITH ROOM NUMBERS?! Then keys are hanging on the wall beside the list! This is absolutely crazy! A booking reference should be used instead of guest full names!! I was worried someone could be in my room when I opened the door. I could hear every movement of the people in the rooms beside me - the floor boards in my room moved when they walked, I woke up thinking someone was in my room, but it was my neighbour going to the toilet! Very disturbed sleep. Bar noise from the main street until early morning, but this is to be expected on a Saturday night.

    I came for one night to ski for the weekend, and this hotel was a great find in such an exclusive resort! Fantastic location, lucky to have a top floor room with a balcony and view, breakfast was standard, single room small but adequate for a solo traveler. It is great value if you want a basic stay in a beautiful place. Sitting on the balcony with a view and being able to watch people in the street was fabulous. Restaurant on the 1st floor was busy and convenient. Clean despite the renovation works. Room was a comfortable temperature despite it being -10°C outside.
