The location and staff are what makes this place work. It's cozy and traditional and very near to the bus and train up to the slopes - a big plus. The pool unfortunately has a very small relaxation area so you can only really stay for a dip - and does tend to be overrun by kids. The therapists at... more

I recently stayed with a group of friends at the Alex and choose this hotel mainly based on trip advisor reports. The Alex, like Zermatt, has, I believe, become a victim of its own success. Whilst there are many good features to describe in the hotel the senior management are positively snooty and actively disinterested. We booked a small luxury... more

Zermatt is a very expensive town and this was a good value for the area. I loved the fact that a gourmet dinner and large buffet breakfast was included. Right off the ski slopes and a nice ski room.

This was their last weekend of the ski season - though the weather thought otherwise in snowing throughout ! We were also met at the station for the short zip back to the hotel which was helpful for this was a... more
