10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic stay at Hotel Butterfly. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed the on site restaurant. Hotel Butterfly is conveniently located within a ten minute walk from the Zermatt train station but the location on a side street is very quiet. Our room had a beautiful balcony."
