Bang in the middle of Zermatt, most welcome after a long walk to reach it up the valley. Very friendly welcome and no fuss about heavy boots, rucksack or the trail weary Englishman. I would certainly return (and hope to). Great value. Nice balconies on one side of the building with views of the village church and the unrivalled Matterhorn.... More

This place is well-located and easy to find from the station and to walk to other places in Zermatt. The owners were very friendly and offered helpful advice on what to do in Zermatt. I stayed in a single room with shared bathroom. The room was simply furnished but clean and the cable TV had many channels. Like many places,... More

Hotel Alpina, well, what a fantastic hotel! I have nothing bad to say about the place. The hosts were wonderful (even with a rather sick 4 year old!) the breakfast was lovely, the rooms were very clean and the bed very comfortable. We had great views from the room of the mountains all around. It's in a wonderful location only... More

Very cute, clean (well up to swiss standards!), cozy little hotel. Great central location so you can walk everywhere easily, nice breakfast, friendly host. Our room was great! Given the price I was not expecting very much but was really pleasantly surprised. Saved so much money staying here. Would definitely go back or recommend to others.

Hotel Alpina is centrally located but quiet at the same time. So if you want to go for dinner or drinks in the evening, it is literally just a two-minute stroll and you don't need the expensive Electrotaxis. The breakfast is very good, and you can request extra eggs at a small fee. The rooms are totally fine - nothing... More

I think August is a very popular vacation season, and this was the cheapest hotel I could find on some booking website, so I didn't really have a high expectation of the hotel. However, when I arrived, it turned out to be just right, if not perfect. The breakfast room is very nice, decorated with pictures Zermatt and pictures of... More

Walking distance from the station even with luggages. Nice to walk through the village to get there. Close to shopping area, food and big supermarket. A bit of a walk to the base of Mointain Glacier Paradise funicular station, but a view like that, you are not going to feel it. Also very beautiful at night. My room was a... More

Having moved to this hotel from a really special hotel (who couldn't accommodate us for the whole xmas period, and nor could we afford to accommodate them either), Hotel Alpina was a bit of a disappointment. Not a scrap of traditional swiss-ness, or any creature comforts. This hotel had the smallest bathroom i'd ever seen - and an elevator that... More

After 6 days hiling the Haute Route, five of us enjoyed an excellent night in a clean and comfortable well ran hotel, with very friendly and very helpful staff. Breakfast was also excellent. Fenton (Ireland)

My family recently spent several nights in the Zermatt area and loved the Hotel Alpina. The ladies who run it are very nice and great to deal with. The rooms are very nice and very clean. Everything was fantastic, including the breakfast. We loved the 'feel' of the hotel with unique decorations. The hotel is very much like a bed... More
