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 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.

clean and comfortable room in a small hotel with a great location, however the breakfast was very light. If you are a senior be aware there is no elevator ( we were on the fourth floor) , also if you are over 6 feet watch your head !!!

Difficult to find. It is in an alleyway beside a bakery, almost opposite Grand Hotel Zermatthof and at right angles to the Hotel Post. Up at least 3 flights of old stairs in an old chalet. The key was waiting for me. Once there, it is comfortable, even a kettle and easy chair provided. There is a balcony overlooking the main street. The furnishings, lighting and equipment are good. Everything as clean. The only thing missing was a plug for the basin - perhaps this was an accident?
This room was for one person.

This hotel was super convenient for staying in Zermatt and makes it very easy to go skiing! The breakfast included was also very nice and the staff was kind. That said, the area is very loud at night (club/loud music) which made it quite difficult to sleep. It definitely helps you stay in Zermatt on a tighter budget, but would recommend investing in some strong earplugs.

Wouldn’t stay here if I’d known. Unexpected steep climb up 4 flights. Right next to migraine inducing bells that rang every 15 mins from 6am to 10:30 pm, and 15 mins unending w mult bells prior to mass. They were deafening n ear splitting w major tinnitus and migraine afterwards. The room and bathroom were TINY! Hard to move around or breath.

Our room is always kept clean. It's in the middle of the town, found in between the train station and matterhorn cable car. Very convenient location. The only cons is that there's no lift/elevator in the hotel.

Great hotel, balcony over the street with lovely views. Unfortunately, it’s situated beside a very noisy couple of pubs which stay open late. We stayed on a Friday, so if you stay here, expect lots of noise if staying over a weekend even in the street long after pubs have closed. Ear plugs work wonders! 👍

The hotel is just above the main Zermatt pubs. The loud music volume heard in the room, made impossible to sleep before 2 am. A Nightmare.
