We had an amazing stay at Resort Hotel Alex in Zermatt and couldn’t be happier with our experience. The location is perfect — just a 3-minute walk from the Zermatt train terminal, which made everything so convenient, especially with luggage. The hotel has a warm, cozy, traditional Swiss atmosphere. The rooms are beautifully decorated in wood, very charming and comfortable, and the bathrooms are newly remodeled with heated floors — such a nice touch! The breakfast was excellent every morning, with great variety and quality. The overall ambiance of the hotel is wonderful: elegant but relaxed, very welcoming, and extremely family-friendly. The pool is very spacious, perfect for kids, and the large jacuzzi is ideal to unwind after a long day. We met several families who come back at least once a year — and everyone we spoke to had nothing but great things to say about the hotel. Although this was a couple’s trip for us, we had so much fun and felt completely entertained and relaxed. A special thank you to Jeffrey at the bar and Beberlly at the restaurant for their outstanding service — they were truly exceptional and made our stay even more special. And we have to mention the restaurant for dinner — it’s honestly one of the best in town. We tried dining elsewhere one night, but ended up coming back to Alex because the quality and atmosphere were unbeatable. We’re leaving very happy and already looking forward to coming back! Highly recommend.
