“Nice hotel in a nice litle Swiss town.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2010

My colleagues and I stayed in this hotel for a night in early September before starting our monster hike up the Swiss mountains of Zinal. The hotel staff was friendly even though some of the tenants were not. We were having a last glass of wine in one of the meeting areas on the floor and at 10pm one of the guests stormed out of his room and went directly to the reception to complain that we were being noisy (which by the way we were not, just normal people having normal quiet conversations). The receptionist came up and politely told us that this was an older hotel and that the sound proofing is not the same as in other hotels. We took her comments into account and finished our glass of wine and head off to bed. The room was nicely warm and the shower had ample pressure. The only negative point about this hotel was the breakfast the next morning. Nothing warm, only cold breakfast. And it seemed that it wasn't really a "buffet" style as things food was running out and it wasn't replaced. Despite this, I would highly recommend this hotel if you were to stay in ZInal, a lovely area indeed!

“No charm”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2010

While the hotel is clean and comfortable, it has about as much charm as your typical Best Western. We did demi-pension and the food was mediocre. This would not have been bad, except that just across the street were 3 charming hotels in the regional style (Hotel de la Poste, Hotel Trisp and another I can't remember the name of). We ate dinner at Hotel Trisk and it was delicious, with a wonderful atmosphere of old beams, stone walls and some very hip music.

If it's important to you to have a TV, a minibar and a telephone in your room then this hotel qualifies. If you'd prefer charm and a more authentically Swiss experience., go across the street.

“Friendly hotel in a beautiful valley”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2010

Stayed for one night last September on a walking journey, having stayed once before. The building is modern and lacks character but our room was comfortable, the staff helpful and the food - including vegetarian choices - excellent. Zinal itself is also rather lacking in character but has good facilities and is on both the walkers' Haute Route and the tour of the beautiful and interesting Val d'Anniviers.

“Top of the valley in Valais”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2008

Spent a comfortable night here during a walking tour of the Anniviers valley.
After a wet walk (it sometimes rains/snows there in summer), it was good to find the hotel right at the junction of the walking routes,
and close to the cable car station.
Food was good and plentiful (we were offered second helpings during dinner).
The bar alongside the restaurant had a good offer on the local wine.

“Lovely Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2006
3
people found this review helpful

Very quiet, picturesque place with a lovely staff. No doubt you will meet the warm Bonnard family and Chef Remy, always smiling, who turns out delicious dinners in a lovely setting. Our room was typical Swiss, pine accents, comfy beds with duvets and nice views from the balcony of the gorgeous landscapes. Zinal is tiny, but it has great hiking and exploring areas all around. This is a place where you'll be treated well and where you'l feel relaxed and enjoy authentic Swiss hospitality!
