Top Zermatt City Centre Hotel Reviews

Hotel Monte Rosa

8/10 Good

"The property is in a great location and the staff was warm and welcoming. The hotel is beautiful with a wonderful old world charm and lot a of conveniences as well. Only 2 disappointments during our stay. We booked a room that said it would have a partial view of the Matterhorn which it had none. Upon asking we were told it wasn’t guaranteed and it would cost considerably more $$ to switch to a room with a view. And secondly, we made a reservation for a ride to the train station on our departure date only to find they were taking another party at our time. We were told not to worry but by the time the shuttle returned we had less than 10 minutes until our train was set to leave and we ended up missing our train by 1 minute. We had a. Long day off traveling ahead and this put a real kink in our schedule. The front desk needs a better was to track reservations for their shuttle service I"

Hotel Bahnhof

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect Location with Incredibly Friendly Staff! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Bahnhof! The location is unbeatable literally right across from the train station, which made traveling so easy. Despite being so central, I felt very safe, and it was just a short walk to plenty of great restaurants. The staff truly made the experience special. Everyone was so warm, welcoming, and helpful from check-in to check-out. They went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. Yes, the room was on the smaller side, but it was spotless and well-organized. The bed and bedding, however, were incredibly comfortable. If you’re looking for a convenient, safe, and cozy place with a personal touch, I highly recommend Hotel Bahnhof. I would definitely stay here again!"

Backstage Boutique SPA Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very cool hotel. Glass everywhere, so you get great views pretty much wherever you are. Many doorknobs and chandeliers are made with everyday objects which was funky and fun. When we arrived in our room, our luggage was already there after dropping off earlier in the day, and we had 2 chocolates and a mini prosecco on ice awaiting us. I enjoyed the spa but can see why some folks don't. Even if you're not into the pods (which were much more like an interactive art exhibit with meditative qualities), the sauna, cold plunge and outdoor hot tub are stellar. There were thoughtful touches everywhere from the fresh fruit and tea selection, to the racks to hang your robe/towel while you go from one station to the next. The real standouts here are the service and breakfast. This was easily the most welcomed we felt in our 9-day trip across Switzerland. The breakfast was a nice mix of self-service and full service with some menu items made fresh (e.g. pancakes, omelette, etc.). They had the best selection of fruit we encountered at any hotel, and the local baked goods were divine. My only complaints were the bed and pillows weren't comfortable for me, and the layout of the room meant the in-room bathroom wasn't as private as I would like because it's built as a sub-room inside the main living space, thus wasn't soundproofed. Could be awkward depending on who you're traveling with. All-in-all, a truly boutique and one-of-a-kind stay."
