Pros:

Świetna lokalizacja

Cons:

Brudna wykładzina w pokoju. Śniadanie z małym wyborem, brak warzyw. Drogo za taki hotel, ale płaci się za Zermatt.

Very old fashioned. No ventilation.
Pros:

Lovely big bathroom! Fabulous shower and corner bath and private area for toilet. Terrace outside our door, so we could sit outside but not secure to leave that door open for ventilation, at night, as anyone could get in!

Cons:

No air con. No window! No USB plug points. No European plug points. Had to purchase a Swiss adapter the next morning. Unable to open the wardrobe doors without moving the beds! Only one pillow each but a very helpful member of staff, (in another building) was able to give us two more. Check in was a few buildings away. Breakfast choices were minimal. Not very healthy. Even the fruit was tinned. Coffee wasn’t very pleasant. Staff at breakfast were friendly.

Pros:

The staff were exceptionally friendly and professional. Special thanks to the receptionist, who went above and beyond to help us after we were initially assigned a different room than the one shown on our Booking.com reservation. She took our concerns seriously and kindly offered us the opportunity to choose another available room, which we really appreciated.
The mattress and duvet were very comfortable, the only minor downside was the pillows, which were a bit too flat/soft for our preference, although we understand that this is a matter of personal taste.
We also appreciated the possibility of leaving our luggage after check-out, as well as the complimentary breakfast.

Thank you Mrs. Chrisanthi !
Pros:

The room was comfortable and clean, conveniently located close to the main street and the train station.

As I arrived in Zermatt without a reservation, hoping to escape the heat of the lowlands, I happened to meet Mrs. Chrisanthi, at check-in desk, who immediately offered me a room. After a long day of hiking, I was quite tired, and she kindly helped me set up the Wi-Fi on my iPhone, completed the check-in process for me, and even gave me a small welcome chocolate. Many thanks to her, and my warmest regards.

The room was carpeted, and the bathroom was a little dated but clean. The terrace was shared with other hotel guests. Breakfast was served in a rustic-style dining room at another hotel and was unfortunately, not very well ventilated . But at the end, even if it is a little too expensive, it was my best night of sleep, since days !

Don’t expect much
Pros:

We arrived by train after a long days travel, to find we had to check in at a sister hotel, the Simi. Not a great start. Had to lug baggage up a flight of stairs to even get to a lift. Thankfully a very nice man was able to help. Room numbers make zero sense so take note of your instructions, no lights working in corridors. Room…comfy bed, no extra pillows, cramped, furniture worn, in fact the entire room was tired and dated and felt a little grubby. Bathroom was cramped, with abysmal lighting. In fact there was nothing to make me want to ever return to this hotel again. There was a nice balcony and as it was cool, that was a boon, but no air con. Shame about the mosquitos. Didn’t take breakfast despite it being included, as I wanted to get away asap. Will not stay again, not will be recommending to clients.

We loved Zermatt and this location was close to the trains. Perfect for us!
Pros:

Loved the location. Our balcony provided a view of the Matterhorn. Unexpected and a big bonus.

Cons:

There are no staff onsite. However, this wasn’t a problem just odd at first. The property felt older — not sure that it was. We didn’t spend much time in the room and we were comfortable while there.

Comfortable but expensive.
Pros:

The location is fine, just off the main street in Zermatt. The room was quite small, but I could open the windows wide to make it feel larger.
The breakfast was great.

Cons:

It was very expensive for what it is, but that maybe a reflection of Zermatt rather than the hotel itself.
