I don't really have anything negative to say about this place - it suited all our needs. We stayed here while on a budget ski vacation. However this hotel is great value and the location is certainly adequate. You can pretty much walk anywhere in Zermatt.
This hotel is about 10 min walk to the train station/main square - we did it carrying our ski bag and backpacks on each of our backs as opposed to taking the electric taxis. Its about a 3-5 min walk along Wiestistrasse to the ski gondola which was great. There are plenty of restaurants, shops and grocery stores scattered throughout Zermatt and its a nice walk to anywhere in the village.
The room had a great view of the Matterhorn, was large, clean, quiet, had a large wardrobe buffet, tv, comfy bed, nice sheets, large bathroom, and there is wifi throughout the hotel contrary to a couple of the posts. There is also a shared computer in the main foyer.
The staff were very friendly - the girl at the front desk always greeted us whenever we passed by.
The ski room downstairs is big and has a ski boot warmer. There is also outside access but is locked at night, so secure.
Breakfast was more than adequate. There is lots to choose from - cold meats & cheeses, cereals, boiled eggs, an espresso machine, different breads and pastries. They appear not to be using the restaurant at night, so dinner is found at one of the many other places in town.
If you aren't going for one of the super fancy spa places in Zermatt, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
