The room (3) was clean albeit small, but it was warm, had a balcony and was great for the night. The sound from above was noticeable, no acoustic insulation was evident. The maintenance wasn't great, the basin was cracked but these are minor issues, noise from outside was heard around 02:00 but this is due to the excelled location of the hotel, it's perfect for the town nightlife. I'd stay there again, self check-in was easy, there was nobody around, check out was just as easy...

The room is very clean and staff is very friendly. The hotel has no elevator and the stairs are quite steep. Large luggage can be a challenge. Breakfast is wonderful and fresh. Overall, the hotel is wonderful for traveler on a budget.

Although the property was older, this just added to the charm for us. We could view the Matterhorn from our bedroom window and this hotel was in the best location of the whole of Zermatt. There is no lift, so alot of stairs with heavy cases. But we were aware and didnt mind the extra fitness. Breakfast was included and much appreciated. Would definately stay again.

Do Not Stay Here ! This is not a hotel it is a hostel, the listing is false and they even say that on property. There is no elevator and MANY narrow stairs, the rooms are small twin beds with tiny comforters, we had no heat and were given space heaters which blew the fuse leaving no power in the room. It was not clean, no shower only tub in our room, noise from bar next door all night, staff was VERY rude on arrival, breakfast is cold food and not great, felt unsafe for fire risk , would never recommend

Great location and adequate rooms with no frills. Main problem for us was lots of narrow winding stairs and no elevator. With suitcases that was an ordeal coming and going. Nice restaurant on the premises.

Positives, it is right on Main street, great location. Room was clean but small…. No elevator so be prepared to haul up luggage possibly 4 floors. No on site staff other than cleaning staff, just a phone to call for any needs.

There’s a reason why this is the cheapest option in a central location - the condition of the hotel is poor, rooms small and practically no frills. Expedia advertised a ski and boot storage room but no such thing exists - instead there are a few open racks for skis just off the Main Street so didn’t feel a safe option. That said the hotel has no problem with guests taking skis and boots into the bedrooms. For all that, the breakfast was pretty decent, the staff friendly and the rooms warm so if you’re just looking for somewhere to get your head down for the night then it’s not an awful option

The room was fine, it was the access that was difficult, the stairs were steep, we had to access at least 4 floor levels. The access, the room was small and the bathroom requires a privacy curtain on the window, the room radiator had no control with poor water circulation only heating the top 10% of the radiator.

The key for my room was just hanging up in the unlocked reception, and the phone number didn't work. For what i paid, this hotel felt overpriced as it was charmless and basic. The bed I'll admit was comfortable and there was a bath but, yeah not great. Would look for alternatives next time

We had room 14 and would have had view on the Matterhorn if conditions would have been better. Room confortable for three nights and very central. Very good value for money in Zermatt. Fernanda is a very nice person. Good breakfast. Only negative point for me, as a tall person, was the height of the ceiling in the shower.
