8/10 Good
"Zermatt is a beautiful Village in Switzerland. This hotel was only about a 4 minute walk to the town center. Booked late. So they only had a room to accommodate 3 people, which was nice to have the extra space, for 2 people. Was on the first floor. Room 106, unfortunately a view of really nothing. Breakfast was good, but they charge 3 CHF per egg if you want an omelette or a fried egg instead of the scrambled eggs provided. It was still a very good breakfast. Staff were friendly and they provided complimentary shuttle service to and from the train station. TV in the room has live web cams of the mountain weather. No AC in rooms, but this was not an issue even in August, since Zermatt is at an elevation of 5,300 feet and is always 10 degrees F cooler then other cities in Switzerland."

Shocking to go through these beautiful old doors (there is a plaque on the outside of building) and take the small elevator to a modern white and pale Grey hotel floor Our room was small but absolutely had everything that we needed and was pleasant and spotless. The staff was extremely helpful and the breakfast was the best on our trip. Don't hesitate to book it!"
