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.

Modern and clean building. Nice bedrooms, New hotel, gentle spa in basement, gorgous views, very friendly staff. All in all was a great hotel to stay at!

Five of us stayed at the Hotel Hermitage for 2 nights in July, for a family occasion. We could not have been more enchanted by the hotel’s rustic charm. The beds were comfortable, the bathtubs deep, the pretty antique furnishings made us were feel we were staying in someone’s house, not a hotel. The rooms and bathrooms were immaculate, the lounge was spacious with many big soft sofas, and the garden was large and pleasant, with comfortable lawn furniture. We could have happily spent all day lazing about in the garden or on the hotel’s front porch, both were so pleasant. The views from our balconies were lovely. Breakfast was typically continental – several kinds of fresh bread, cornflakes or muesli, yogurt, fruit, local honey & preserves, hard-boiled eggs, etc. – what’s not to like? My own imperatives – big soft towels, & wi-fi – were both provided. However, the rooms do not have 3-star amenities such as hair-dryer, toiletries, coffee-&-tea makers (nor English-language TV) – but on the other hand, the owners Olivier Gaspoz and family are so helpful and accommodating that they would probably supply you with anything like that which you asked for, as they did us (excepting English TV!) Their generosity and kindness was endearing. The whole hotel is delightful.

The walk from and to the train station was tolerable and at times refreshing. When it was too long or time was short, Maurizio was eager to offer a quick ride on short notice (more than once). The dinners were fantastic (we ate there the first and last evenings) and were better than most of the pricier meals that we had in Zermatt. We went to Italy the following week and found ourselves comparing the meals to Maurizio's!

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

Stayed here with my son and his girlfriend -- snowboarding trip for them. They met three other boarders to hit the slopes with and had a great time. Hostel had everything we needed, beds were comfortable, price great for Zermatt. View of the Matterhorn right out the door! Hostel provided 10% discount for renting equiipment. Good place to stay when on a budget.
