    Never mind the exceptional location and room, I loved the stylish decor and the best ever hand-made, unlimited breakfast you can possibly imagine; I would stay in this place in the future for sure!

    Bathroom a little stuffy as no exhaust fan - or it wasn’t working.

    Beautiful hotel with great decor that was natural and well designed for the premises. A really nice vibe. The outdoor garden/bar was relaxing and the breakfast superb. Great location - close to everything but also quiet. Good size room and comfortable beds. Friendly, helpful staff. Would definitely stay there again and recommend it.

    View from room is superb. Unbeatable view of the Matterhorn directly from room. Excellent staff with super friendly and helpful manner. Front desk staff of all shifts (morning, afternoon, night) were surprisingly friendly and helpful. Separate toilet and shower. Shower gel and shampoo are great. Excellent sourdough reads were made heartily from the in-house bakery. Breakfast area is clean and comfortable.

    My only complaint is that there was a fair amount of noise from the neighbouring suites. Since it's a wood building, it can be a problem if you're a light sleeper, but I imagine every building in the area is made of wood and has the same issue. Nothing some earplugs or AirPods can't fix :)

    The views and location were great, staff were very friendly, breakfast was great.

    The Rex hotel is the best hotel we stayed overall Switzerland. The staff is really helpful and friendly, more than helpful with everything. Check-in is quite convenient and the lobby is well decorated and spacious. Chilling at the garden, relaxing in the spa area was amazing. The experience shower is a must-try as well. The pool is rather big. They have shuttle service from and to the train station and they are always at your convenience. Special thanks to Robin, Rafaela and our shuttle driver for being amazing people. Thank you so much Robin for recommending us the Stockhorn restaurant, we had the best cote du boeuf ever! Fabulous hotel with fantastic people. Fully recommend!

    Really have noting to complain.

    (1) I loved how peaceful the hotel was, a perfect escape from the main street noise, but it was still close enough to everything. (2) The front yard was my favorite spot! Guest can spent mornings there sipping coffee and dreaming, and evenings grilling and laughing with friends. (3) The hotel managed to keep that old-world charm while adding modern touches. It felt so cozy and inviting. (4) The staff were absolutely wonderful! They went out of their way to make me feel welcome and taken care of. (5) Breakfast was a highlight. Those fresh pastries from the hotel's bakery were to die for! (6) The Stockhorn restaurant is a must-try! Their grilled meats were incredible. It was such a treat to have a delicious meal right next to the hotel (to me, it is really a big plus upon my arrival after a long train journey) (7) !!! You can enjoy the Matterhorn every single day from your balcony!!!

    Only thing that could have been better is because there is no AC, perhaps they could provide a fan in the room

    Loved my stay at the Rex, it was everything I needed and more for my short stay in Zermatt. The facilities overall are very up to date and has a wonderful, cozy feel to it. You walk in through their outdoor garden area which is great to relax in during the day or the evening. They have a big, comfortable bar area inside, their own bakery, a sitting area with communal board games, etc. My favorite amenity was the spa which was more extensive than the typical hotel, they have multiple saunas, steam room, hot tub, a large pool, relaxation areas and more. I loved this after my day long hikes. The room itself is quite spacious and very comfortable. I selected a room with a Matterhorn view and it was wonderful. I also loved how in the summer they offered an outdoor BBQ menu, I ended up eating there both nights since the food was so good. The breakfast was delicious, although I wish I realized you could order dishes from the menu vs. buffet style earlier on! The staff was great at all times, always cheerful and willing to help. Lastly, in terms of its location, while its a short walk from the main street, I think this is a plus because you can escape the busy area and the area is actually equidistant to both the Zermatt train station and gondola station (which are in opposite directions). There are a handful of restaurants and bars nearby so it’s still lively! Definitely stay at the Rex if you plan to visit Zermatt, you won’t be disappointed

    Beautiful hotel! Very centrally located to walk wherever you need to go. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. The breakfast was great, buffet style but also a few options you could order from the kitchen. There’s a lovely little bakery attached and an outdoor garden bar during summer. And our room had a beautiful view of the Matterhorn right from the terrace. Overall, we had an amazing stay and would definitely return our next time in Zermatt.

    They put us (my wife and me) on the 5th floor room without elevator. It is very difficult to bring a big luggage from 3rd floor to 5th floor on a very narrow. The Rex only have a elevator from ground to the 3rd floor.

    When poor weather and floods stopped us leaving for the night the staff asked us to leave the room at normal time instead of offering a late checkout. We ended up staying an extra night and unnecessarily using more bedding as well as having to pack and unpack.

    The Rex is a lovely warm and welcoming hotel. Great location, friendly staff, great view of the Matterhorn (weather dependent), lovely bedding, great spa and fabulous breakfast.
