The hotel is perfectly situated only 5 minutes' walk from the main station, making it ideal for those traveling by train. The rooms boast a great view of the mountains, adorned with beautiful paintings, although they can get a bit warm at times. The service was exceptional, with knowledgeable staff guiding us to the best local dining spots and arranging extra assistance for my disabled wife's transport. The location is excellent for exploring Zermatt, the Glacier express, and Italy, forming part of a picturesque railway tour of Switzerland. Dining options were decent, with a self-service cold buffet complemented by a few hot items, though some variation would have been appreciated.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious, with a great bathroom, bathrobes, and slippers. However, the lack of air circulation made the room very warm. The service was friendly and helpful, but there was a minor incident when staff seemed to address seating availability in a slightly unfriendly way. The location was convenient for transportation and exploring nearby attractions. The dining experience offered a decent variety, although some mornings had limited choices. Overall, a comfortable stay with room for improvement.
