Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
We chose this hotel (spent 2 nights here) because of its location for visiting Zermatt. Price/quality ratio is much better than in Zermatt. The hotel has free parking for guests and located a 2 minute walk to the station for trains to Zermatt. The hotel room appeared to have been recently renovated and everything was spotless. It had a superb rain shower. Room size was fine and there was a balcony with a view of the surrounding mountains. No fridge in the room and reception said not available either. Second day we did not get face cloths, reported it to reception (chap said "I will pass it on to housekeeping' but we still did not get any) We had half-board which was convenient and reasonable for the price. Food was ok but not marvelous. The main course (meat dish) on both nights tasted practically the same with different meat but the same sauce. Staff were very pleasant and friendly. I would stay here again but not choose half-board.

We totally enjoyed our stay at the Swiss Budget Alpenhotel (now caled Matterhorn Inn). The place was very nice and most importantly close to the railway station bringing you to Zermatt in 13 minutes. The room was very comfortable and clean. The bathroom was great, with a bath. Only drawback: the socks smell when we came in, that we managed to get ride of by airing the room for some time. The breakfast is also great, with a broad vareity of breads, cheeses, hams, coffees... Regarding the check in, we didn't experience anything special. We went to the restaurant and someone came to check us in. This is defintely a place I recommend to stay when you want to visit Zermatt!

I am giving this hotel 4/5 based on the hotel not the food. The hotel rooms are lovely and spacious, we were given the 5th floor attic room which we loved and had a beautiful view of the mountains. The staff were relaxed and friendly enough. However, breakfast was incredibly POOR. The Restaurant really is a filthy place. There are flies everywhere!! We ate their for dinner the food was cheap and not nice, breakfast had poor options and there are flies all over the food and when you sit down flies attack you. I have read other reviews and the hotel claims they have tackled this issue they clearly haven't even bothered.

I stayed here with my husband and 2 year old child. I saw complaints about the bathroom being to small but I thought it was a nice size. We had half board and were not disappointed in the breakfast and dinner :) the food was great and each dinner you got 2 choices you could chose from. The property literally across the street from the train station. The staff were wonderful and always friendly! The parking is free so that was a plus for us! It doesn’t have AC but you do not need it because it gets so cold at night which is wonderful since I run hot sleeping at night. The only bad thing I have to say about this place is the pillows are flat and very bad. If you can bring your own pillow I would recommend that. I definitely recommend staying here if you have a family and have a car but wanna visit Zermatt! Will stay again if we come back to visit Zermatt!

I had only one day to stay in the area and decided to see the Matterhorn. Zermatt is a car free zone so I couldn’t drive there and for one night stay I didn’t fancy traveling by train with heavy suitcases so this hotel was pretty much the best solution for me. It is called now the “Matterhorn inn” and it seems like the hotel got renovated recently. The location is perfect, right in front of the train station to Zermatt and with free parking space for my car. I usually hate “budget hotels” and trying to avoid them but this time I’m glad I went out my way and booked a room there. It was specious enough, renovated, clean, with a small balcony and a nice bathroom with a bathtub. The staff was very nice and welcoming as well.

This hotel is excellent. The location is perfect with great parking and the train station is just across the road. We had a mountain view and balcony and woke up to the sun shining on the snowy mountain tops. The hotel is perfectly located for Zermatt and the Matterhorn. We booked breakfast and evening meal and we were definitely not disappointed - the food was excellent - highly recommend the Matterhorn soup and the Hot Stone Fillet steak. We originally booked for two nights but when we arrived, we asked if we could stay an additional night and the hotel was very accommodating and helpful. Tourist information is directly opposite and extremely helpful (Elanor) and gave very good advice about our trip to the Matterhorn.

Nice stay, friendly staff, lovely restaurant downstairs. We were traveling with the dog and found a dog bed and 2 bowls prepared for her in the room. The layout of the triple room could be a bit better as we could not open the balcony door because of the extra bed. Great location and brilliant option to stay and park the car if you are planning to travel to Zermatt.

Overpriced even for Zermatt. Very poor service in the restaurant. We have ordered take away pizzas and asked to bring outside where we were waiting. We had to wait about half an hour and there were almost no people so I believe they were not busy. When I came inside to wonder about the order, the pizzas were stored in the corner and no one cared. They were nearly warm. Unbelievable. No apology or any word of regret from the waitresses. Pizzas were not good by the way, too salty and burnt.

Stayed here with my aunt. Breakfast was included in the rate. Small balcony with a sitting area for the smokers in your party. Supermarket next door to the property, which is ideal. We had a car that we were able to park in their car park, no additional charge for this. Only down side the car park is small and we got the last space. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Make sure to book a table if you want to eat in the restaurant. As they get busy,they can only take so many tables as they are short staffed as everywhere is nowadays. Food was very good. The Inn is opposite the train station so easy to get onto the train to Zermatt.

We stayed for 2 nights, the room was really nice and modern and clean with a really nice view to the mountains. They have limited parking and train station just 2 minutes walking distance. Breakfast was OK, we had 2 times dinner and was nice and tasty food. This place could be easily more than 3 stars.
