Amazing ambiance of high mountains

Amazing mountain ambiance - that was my second time staying in this hotel. Matterhorn view from my balcony, good breakfast and excellent dinner, friendly and helpful staff. Unfortunately it gets booked up very quickly during the summer so it’s really hard to get.

Basic place but great views and ski in ski out

We stayed for four days, which was a bit long. The views are spectacular but the place is pretty basic so we got tired after a while (no access to the village after 16). Food was quite bad (breakfast was basic but ok, dinners were low quality). Would recommend for a few days if you are looking for a basic stay with ski in ski out!

This is a hotel partly up the mountain accessible only by cable car. They should warn people strongly no service up after 4 PM. But the stay was exceptional. Immediate access to trails. Incredible views of Matterhorn and immediate access to hiking trails and cable service a lot higher. Good meals, dinner and breakfasts. Dinner is included in stay, but waiters should warn that beverages are separate and charged for, even five euros for a cheap little teabag. Everything is included at breakfast, which are good. My room window looked out on the Matterhorn, and watching it in starlight and at dawn was incredible. I did not realize where this hotel was when I booked it, and got so much more than I expected. Kind and helpful staff. Strongly recommend this place. (Not every room has a Matterhorn view like mine did, not is the weather as good as it was on my stay. Cloudy or bad weather obvious affects views and activities, and hotel has no control over this.)

The location is breathtaking, but the hotel should be clear that the final gondola up is around 4p up front in their marketing material. The staff was not communicative via email once the issue was identified 7 and 2 days prior to arrival. The accommodations are spartan but for the most part, comfortable. That said, there are no cards or board games to occupy the time in the evenings. Would not recommend staying for more than a night based on the location.

convenient for photography and clean room

the room with private bathroom is small, basic simple but very clean and warm. from the balcony you face Matterhorn and very convenient for photography. and this is the reason i booked. just want everyone know that there is no water kettle in the room, only one power socket on the wall which is next to the door, and one in the bathroom.

Where to begin!? Schwarzsee Hotel is amazing for skiers who travel across the continents with the mentality to enjoy the outdoors. This hotel is very convenient as it is a ski-in-and-out hotel. With the most amazing views of the Matterhorn and part of the Swiss Alps just out your window. The gondola is one minute walk and to embark further up in the mountains and all the way to Cervinia ski resort which lands in Italy!! The staff at the hotel are polite and helpful, the food is beyond delicious. Enjoyed every meal for 4 consecutive days. Your stay includes breakfast and dinner. The dormitories are a bit stretchy and the mattresses hard spring coils. But if you are here to ski the alps, this is just a minor thing that you can overlook. I would definitely comeback!!

Unsere Erfahrung mit dem Hotel Schwarzsee war durchwachsen. Positiv hervorzuheben ist die exponierte Lage, gute Aussicht aus den Zweibettzimmern und das freundliche Personal, insb. im Restaurant, sehr sympathisch und zuvorkommend. Negativ war unser Zimmer, in welchem Teile des Fussbodens und Mobiliar defekt waren. Gestört hat uns vor allem die Dusche: im Stehen Duschen war nicht möglich, da der Schlauch dafür zu kurz war, dazu Schimmel in den Fugen. Vor Ort angesprochen versprach die Rezeption zu schauen was sich tun ließe, passiert ist jedoch nichts. Solche Mängel dürfen auch bei einem für Zermatt ordentlichen Preis für die exponierte Lage einfach nicht entstehen. Einfacher Standard ok, aber doch bitte nicht in diesem renovierungsbedürftigen Ausmass!
