Top Zermatt Hotel Reviews

Hotel Monte Rosa

10/10 Excellent

"This was a lovely old hotel with pool/spa privileges at the property next door. We were upgraded to a large suite. It didn’t have air conditioning, but we were cool enough in the summer- even during a heatwave. The breakfast included was great! Lots of variety. It was also very centrally located to the activities in town. I’d recommend."

Alpenblick

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice, clean, away from the crowd and quiet. The breakfast is amazing."
