La Vue Luxury Living Apartments

Zermatt|1.77km from Riffelalp
We came to choose La Vue as an alternative to hotels in Zermatt as we were 3 couples interested in traveling together. The self-appointed “Luxury living” has great reviews and a nice marketing (website) that looks attractive but leaves a lot of inconvenient FACTS aside…: To start with: there are very limited views (“La vue” in French) from the building of the Matterhorn contrary to many pictures and most other hotels in Zermatt. Secondly, the location is on the opposite side of town from all gondolas or lifts to the slopes: it is made worse by the fact that you have to climb a steep and long (400 yards) street, followed by a tunnel and 2 elevators before you can be back into your room: if you don’t mind the first time coming back from a long skiing day, it gets old after a few outings even to go for dinner down to the main street…Of course, that “detail” is not stated anywhere on the brochure or website and you have to be there to realize it.Lst but not least, the building is sitting above a major school with loud children and teens screaming at every break between classes...Worst if you are in a unit facing town...!! Although the recently (2012) built building features simple but tasteful design and style as far as the 3 bedrooms apartment was concerned, the shared amenities (reception, Spa, lounge …) are quite limited and fall short of Luxury standards: the indoor Jacuzzi is small and serves as a pool (unlike the generous size real pools that other hotels that we got to visit (modern like the Omnia, Cervo, or older establishments like Mont Cervin Palace etc…).There is no gym or work out / biking machine and the Massage team and menu are quite limited and overpriced ( I actually went for a massage at the Mont Cervin Palace Spa with amenities that are of decent size with great, international team of trained masseuses and a dedicated Manager… As far as Help/ Service is concerned, this “Luxury living” falls short again: front desk help has patchy hours ( when not smoking outside), most of the times nobody was there at standard hours and we had to deal with at least 6 different ( young/ inexperienced) agents over our 7 days stay…Except for Daniel, their English and knowledge was at best sketchy and their attitude not so great…If nobody is there, you then have to call the main hotel reception (Julen group) for remote (and delayed) assistance. The “cinema” movie room was stacked with storage stuff that blocked a third of the room and we were told that they don’t offer any DVD movie library, you just have to bring your own content… The only redeeming features at la Vue for us was a very abundant and quality breakfast served in room at the time of your choosing. When we went to the Omnia Hotel for a fine dinner, a few blocks away, we discovered an incredibly friendly and helpful reception staff even to outside guests, a great library/lounge bar/ area, an impressive pool and jacuzzi facing real Matterhorn views , and , of course, our dinner at their r

Zermatt Youth Hostel

Zermatt|1.31km from Riffelalp
I was very happy with interlaken youth hostel and decided to book zermatt youth hostel. Free Good Breakfast, although a toaster would have been nice but they have good coffee machine and good collections of tea bags. Clean property and good view of Matterhorn from dining area! The property did not mention that the bus do not go anymore to 'luchre' stoppage. The property is quite high up in the mountain. The bus left me a place way below to the stoppage. so it was very hard to take luggage up to the property. Also, the distance between Luchre bus stop and the property is also bit long. considering the steepness. Second thing, the property does not have lift! It was really really hard to go up to 3rd floor with luggage. For me, a kind romanian staff helped me to take the suitcase to the 3rd floor. I also find the room (most probably 138 or 134) that I had been given at the very last corner of the corridor, which is fine. but opposite to that room, there is another property whose bedroom or lounge room facing my room, The room does not have curtain. it was very uncomfortable. Interlaken youth hostel has the curtain. not all the room needs curtain, but some room facing other properties, I strongly recommend this small addition. when I mentioned that to the lady, she said, go to a hotel, this is hostel. I replied, Interlaken has curtain. she did not reply. while leaving, the lady staff was very rude and said no one can help you to get the suitcase down. One gentleman was kind and helped me. This property is good. unfortunately, it is not possible perhaps to add lift or change location. but they can add curtain for sure.

Matthiol Boutique Hotel
4.6/575 Reviews
A+ and 5 stars no questions asked. If I could move anywhere in the world it would be this hotel. The entire staff was like a family. Jaqueline was fantastic. She was extremely professional and friendly. She made this experience feel like no other. Sobi was also amazing. He picked us up and made the grass clean every day. His brother Attila was a gentlemen as well. Lukas was also great. He sold us on staying here I’ve the OMNI and other resorts. He was great. Marieke was outstanding and the staff was A++. The hotel was stunning. The view of the Matterhorn was of no other. We could see it from our balcony and bathtub. The attention to detail was incredible. My wife and I took mud baths in the spa. The spa was amazing. This place is special and made our time in Zermatt so special. Can’t wait to come back in winter!

It was an unforgettable stay. It is halfway up the Matterhorn. It is very convenient for those skiers. When you arrive at the transit station, you can contact the hotel staff to pick it up. It is very quiet at night. You can't miss the hotel's SPA!

Hotel Hemizeus & Iremia Spa
4.5/548 Reviews
We loved this hotel. We ended up on a train that arrived 1.5 hours earlier than expected and the kind person at the front desk was still able to accommodate us by picking us up earlier than expected at the train station. The train station is at one of town and this hotel is at the other end of town. There is a free public bus that loops the town where you can get on and off, but we honestly never needed it. It's about a 20 minute walk to the main area of town. The best part about the location of the hotel is that it is only about a 10 minute walk to the ski lift ticket office, the Matterhorn Glacier Express gondola lift and Dorsaz ski rentals and storage. If you rent skis at Dorsaz, overnight ski storage is free so you aren't hauling your skis back and forth to the hotel. If you don't rent at Dorsaz, there is small charge to store skis. The hotel spa is very nice. It was open from around 2pm-7pm each day. There are 2 saunas, a steam room, a whirlpool foot bath, a whirlpool and a relaxation room with a view of the Matterhorn. The breakfast was delicious with eggs, bacon, pastries, fruit, yogurt, cheeses, cereal and even fresh squeezed orange juice. Shampoo/Body wash is provided in each room as well as a hair dryer. The front desk staff were exceptionally welcoming and helpful and we would definitely return.
