Independent, Valais Hotels

We lucked out when we booked our stay at the Hotel de Glacier. Really nice hotel in the center of everything along with an EXTREMELY friendly and energetic staff. Very convenient to the lifts, bars, and restaurants.

Charming hotel in this Alpine community. Advance information from Expedia about best transportation for arriving seamlessly in Zermatt would have made the trip even more enjoyable. No cars are allowed and the thousands of tourists who arrive to see the beauty of the Matterhorn travel by train only from Tasch. Be aware so that you can plan accordingly. Many wonderful restaurants and the gornergrat cog railway with 5 stops up to the mountain overlook and vast trails is not to be missed. And always the grandeur of the Matterhorn.

Stayed 6 nights and were very happy. Nice double room with a balcony and a view. Also bunk beds for the kids but we got a good rate and they had a separate room with twin beds also nice. Family run and they are friendly and helpful as are the staff. We got good tips on what to see and where to go. The restaurant is very good too. One thing that really impressed us right off the bat wash that the owner emailed us after we made the reservations to make sure we wanted two rooms not one. It showed us he cared about his guests We were there for the verbier festival so we were back and forth to verbier a lot. There is a road over the mountain so you can do it in about 30-35 minutes (probably less but we were cautious). We didn't mind this at all as it is a pretty drive and we preferred the quiet town of la tzoumaz to the bustle of verbier.

Wonderful people, wonderful hotel. Everything to make your stay a real holiday.

This is a religious centre. The rooms are like good quality college rooms, but absolutely no character.

John and Andrea were the most lovely hosts. The hotel has the most magnificent views and is opposite the cable car station, which connects to the train, so getting around is so easy. The Swiss Pass gives you discounts on transport, which you really get value from staying at this hotel. Rooms are a good size, very clean and comfortable.

The experience was more better than my expectations

In Zermatt, everything is relatively close and Residence Patricia is no exception. We enjoyed being able to walk to whatever we wanted to do. The view from the room? Well, it you stand on the balcony and look just the right way you can see the Matterhorn so I guess the description is correct. Is the view stunning? Not in my books. Value? Let's face it, Switzerland is not an inexpensive country to visit as a tourist. We went knowing this and expected to pay higher rates than in other countries, and we were not disappointed. Is it worth it? If you want to visit Switzerland, you need to stay somewhere, and Residence Patricia worked for us.
