Hotel Schwarzsee

As you are totally captive after 5pm every night an area to hang out with games, tv, music. Room was never cleaned in 3 nights. Food included but cheap.

They had zero backup plan for poor weather, and literally cancelled one of our booked days without any plan to compensate. We had to find our own accommodations for that night. Upon arriving the next day, the staff were clearly overworked and never had any idea what was going on. This hotel added unnecessary stress to our trip due to incompetence and poor planning

The room was very comfortable and the hotel staff were very helpful and attentive; I received excellent treatment from them.

Staff was great, food was delicious, ski gear room could use a few upgrades to help dry boots & clothes

The Staff went an extra mile to accommodate our special dietary requirement during dinner service :)

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.

The facility was great, staff was friendly, food was good, location couldn’t be better. The only thing that wasn’t great was the pillows, which were pretty small

Nice

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.)

Sitting right under the Matterhorn, best location on Zermatt. Good food, relatively affordable. Highly recommend for the view.

No transportation up to hotel. Was told no one allowed to go to this hotel. I canceled.

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!!

Best view of the Matterhorn. The hotel is basic but clean.

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.

Wonderful hospitality!

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.

affable. pleasure staying. staffs were friendly and care for you while you are staying. met a lots of good friends.

Very rude and unfriendly staff, particularly the elderly woman who seemed like the manager working during the day. Both soap and shampoo dispenser in the the shower/bathroom were empty, and had to ask multiple times to get it refilled, which still was not done promptly. Was rudely asked to settle my bill before check out time in the middle of eating my breakfast. Also was responded to angrily when I requested to check my luggage after check out, saying that it was too full and I would have to find space, which was not difficult at all to do for my medium sized backpack. Also the location is poor if you want to do anything in town, as they inform you in an email a few days prior to your stay that you will have to catch the 3pm gondola from Zermatt at the latest if you want to get back to the "hotel", which is really more of an adult hostel. I ended up sleeping on my friends' couch at their hotel in town for one of my nights because I wanted to hang out with them in town and it ended up being a far more comfortable and pleasant experience.

All I can say is “WOW”. Sleeping at 2000 meters in the shadow of the Matterhorn. Simple but spotless facilities, excellent kitchen and delightful staff. Wake up in the morning and literally step out onto the piste. Only downside is that the lift shuts at the end of the ski day and there is no way to town in the evening, so you might not want to spend all week here. I spent two nights and found it delightful

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!
