10 of us stayed for a longish weekend skiing. Andermatt is one of the best off piste destinations in Europe with few crowds. Only real issue was the poor email communication with the hotel. We asked them to see if they could organise transfer from the airport. This seemed to be difficult so we organised it ourselves via another company. On arrival we were harrassed by the hotel saying their taxi was waiting for us at the airport! Other guests in our party had similar degree of difficulty in assuring that their reservation for the hotel had been accepted. Otherwise no complaints, though the old lady, who I presume is the owner, could have smiled a bit more readily.

Rode up to Andermatt on BMW GS Bikes, we were looking for a hotel as we had not booked in advance and the little old lady who own's the Sur Sonne came out to us and offered us a great rate (€40 for the night) and a garage to put our bikes and gear in.
Rooms were clean and cosy, and the Hotel was just full of old world swiss charm. The restraunt/bar was just the coziest place in the world and the staff were really welcoming !!
We took off the next day to ride over the Alpine passes planning to go back to our original digs in Mergozzo Italy, but we loved Andermatt so much and the hotel we went straight back after our days driving.
Great Hotel, Stunning Town in the most awesome location ! Access to all the mountain passes starts in Andermatt !!

We arrived on a cold, miserable day after having stopped and taken in the full force of wind, cold and rain at the "Devil's Bridge" and the Russian Memorial in the Schoellenen Gorge. How welcoming the old wooden buildings, and especially the "Sonne" in the center of Andermatt felt after that! We warmed up with the "Sonne's" Swiss coffee specialty drink called "Hueren' Aff", (roughly translated into "stupid monkey"), which has a coffee and mountain schnaps base - I don't know which is in fact the base - a good dollop of sugar and topped with whipped cream. Delicious!

The hotel has an elevator, which makes transport to the upper floors easy. The rooms are of adequate size and cozy. Bathroom plumbing (ours had shower only) are modern. Our room had a view over the small plaza on the southside to the beautiful museum which, for history fans, served as one of the headquarters of Russian Field Marshal Suvorov on September 25th, 1799 during his epic military campaign through the Swiss Alps.

The restaurant "Sonne" can be equally recommended. The decor is traditional Alpine Swiss, a lot of wood panelling and very 'homey'. Food and service go along with it. We opted for their cheese fondue with a good Swiss wine recommended by the friendly waiter, an excellent choice. Breakfast is buffet-style with choices to satisfy a wide variety of tastes.

When we left the next day towards the St. Gotthard Pass, the weather had cleared up and showed the line of new snow just above the town. I would think it should be good for skiing in winter here. Next time we come through Andermatt, we shall stay at the Hotel Sonne again.

We spent one night here on our way through switzerland, and thought it was just lovely. There wasn't anywhere I would rather have stayed in the village - Hotel Sonne was packed with switzerland charm. Andermatt itself was one of my favourite chocolate box towns in Switzerland, although I suspect it might be ruined slightly in the future by the large hotel complex being built by the rail station. Has a slight 70's kitsch feeling of a wooden chalet, but clean and nicely presented, so was much more charming than out of date. Highly recommend the restaurant, which is where we would have chosen to eat even if we weren't staying there - if I went back again I would select the half board option. Lovely friendly reception staff. Thank you!
