When I initially read the tripadvisor reviews, I wondered how so many people could be completely divided on the owner of this hotel. Half of the people say he is friendly and helpful, and half say he is rude, hangs up the phone and threatens to cancel reservations. It makes sense now because with me, he was both! Initially, he was very friendly and accommodating about adding people to our group when he had other cancellations. We were a group of 13. Then I made a name change on booking.com, and he flew off the handle and sent me a nasty e-mail threatening to cancel my entire booking. I called him, thinking maybe he had not understood that it was merely a name change. He yelled at me on the phone, told me he would THINK about whether or not he was going to cancel my booking, and then he hung up on me. I saved him the time and cancelled my booking because there is absolutely no way I will bring my business to a place that is owned by a person who treats his customers this way. So, I cannot comment on the aesthetics and comfort of the hotel but what I can say is that when you book this hotel, you take a risk that the owner will randomly cancel your reservation if he gets agitated. I would never try to book here again, no matter how cheap the price. I've stayed in numerous other hotels in Zermatt - 5 star, 3 star, 2 star! There are other deals to be found in Zermatt from GENUINELY friendly and helpful people.
