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 room 14 and would have had view on the Matterhorn if conditions would have been better. Room confortable for three nights and very central. Very good value for money in Zermatt. Fernanda is a very nice person. Good breakfast. Only negative point for me, as a tall person, was the height of the ceiling in the shower.

Clean, safe and spacious room. Mattresses need replacing and the hotel’s proximity to the local bars made it a bit noisy. However, Overall we had a good stay.

The hotel is in the main street of Zermatt, and it’s just a 6-minute walk from the train station. It’s above a restaurant on a busy street, so it’s a bit noisy at night. It was manageable and I did manage to sleep. So it was okay.

This was a nice stay right in the heart of Zermatt. Though it was an older place (which was reflective in the rooms) it was a good place for the price. The staff was kind and helpful.

Authentic nice building. Rooms are not very soundproof. Showerhead was hanging so low, I was only able to wash my hear sitting down. The nice location as well as the price make up for that. There's lots of restaurants, shops and bike rentals nearby. Staff was very friendly and helpful. If you don't mind my first points of comment, then I would definitely recommend.
