We did not get a chance to stay with Matthiol but wanted to thank their hospitality for letting us in for a short visit; to use their restrooms. You made our trip so much easier today - Thank you. The reception manager this morning made our day.

One of the most beautiful places with beautiful views of the valley. The staff was very friendly and they had a tour of the hotel. The breakfast was delicious. Rooms very great and renovated. An overall package for a great stay. There's a red line which goes to the city and near to the cable car for matterhorn glacier paradise. There's a green electric car provided to go to and fro from the city to the hotel.

I have stayed at this hotel in Zermatt on multiple occasions, and each visit has been exceptional. The breathtaking views are unparalleled, and the room features a private bathtub, steam room, and sauna, all overlooking the Matterhorn. The location is ideal: within walking distance of the town center yet secluded enough to avoid noise from the gondolas and tourist crowds. Additionally, the on-site restaurant is outstanding, and the bar offers an excellent selection of wines. If you are looking to de-stress, this is the ideal location.
