Pros:

The location is convenient, about a 10-minute walk from the station.
Can easily see the Matterhorn right from the balcony, so there's no need to go out just to catch the sunrise.
The younger female receptionist provided excellent service and was very friendly.
As for breakfast, it was okay—just the basic selection.

Cons:

None

Hotel Extraorndinaire in Zermatt
Pros:

Fantastic location and amazing staff made our stay so enjoyable. Easy walking access to main shopping area and railway station and Gornergrat Bahnhof. Dining service was excellent and Janka and the team were amazing. Very well appointed room with a balcony and stunning views of The Matterhorn from there and your bed (if ypu choose to lie in and watch the sunrise and experience The Matterhorn in alpenglow!).

Cons:

The only disappointment was leaving such a wonderful hotel at the end of our stay.
