Great location on the main street of Zermatt. A good breakfast and clean room. Little engagement with staff so easy to check in. Be warned quite a lot of stairs to rooms and not lift.

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.

There is no front desk, when I checked with the restaurant, they gave us a key and indicate that room is upstairs. No hotel staff member were there. Wash room and room was very small. it’s very noisy as downstairs is a pub.
