staff was extremely nice and helpful, especially at the reception desk, fresh and varied breakfast, room with Matterhorn view was amazing, one of the best in Zermatt

u need to pay extra for everything, eg coffee in the room (we had only two capsules for 7 days), they charge £10 for bathrobe to use pool and jacuzzi, couple of £ to use microwave… I understand it, but if you paying that much for a hotel it should be included

Alpenroyal is hands down the best hotel in Zermatt for me across all categories. From the moment we arrived, everything about our stay was seamless and exceeded expectations. The Matterhorn view is absolutely majestic—something you have to see to believe. The hotel’s facilities are perfectly tailored for a relaxing and comfortable stay. I especially enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi, which offered a serene and scenic escape after a day of exploring. The staff were phenomenal—always friendly, attentive, and eager to help with anything we needed. Although the location is slightly uphill, it never felt tiring because the view kept us in awe the entire time. Plus, their shuttle service was incredibly convenient, especially with our luggage. Breakfast was another highlight—fresh, delicious, and plentiful.

Matterhorn view from hotel room. Enjoyed Matterhorn views mornings and late evenings.

Nothing to be specific. Location is 10+ minute walk from train station and involve bit steep walk for some part. My family enjoyed the walk and honestly I enjoyed too other than the steep part that reminded me my fitness level. Hotel offer complementary shuttle till 7:00PM Only irrespective we wanted to walk to the hotel. Once you are checked-in they offer lift option so the steep part can be avoided but we did choose to walk couple of times and with out luggage even I enjoyed as well.

I like that its close to Murrini Viewpoint and the hotel itself serve spectacular view of matterhorn, you can even view the golden matterhorn without going to murrini

The Alpenroyal was built in the mid- 1970s and has been generously updated throughout the decades. A number of the rooms have magnificent views of the Matterhorn. To get to the hotel from the train station it is imperative to call them from the free Hotel locator phone in the station so that a shuttle can be dispatched for you. waling to the hotel is uncomfortable with your luggage and at altitude. Once at the hotel you can get to the city center through a special elevator system that transports you to a location just 4 or 5 minutes from the train station in the middle of town.

I loved the charming Alpine architecture of Hotel Alpenroyal, which perfectly blends with the stunning natural surroundings of Zermatt. The rooms were cozy, well-appointed, and offered breathtaking views of the mountains. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with any request. The location was ideal, providing easy access to local attractions and hiking trails, yet peaceful enough for a relaxing retreat. The breakfast spread was delightful, with a wide variety of fresh, delicious options to start the day.

There wasn’t much to dislike, but if I had to mention something, it would be that the Wi-Fi connection could be slightly faster in some areas of the hotel. However, this minor issue didn’t detract from the overall wonderful experience.

Fast check in, ample space at the waiting room; warm hospitality from all staff. Our room was on the first floor and had access to the terrace with impressive views of the Matterhorn. Snow cover on the terrace helped us keep our drinks chilled. At night remember to stargaze on the terrace if the sky is clear! Breakfast was lovely. If walking over from the train station, avoid the hike up Riedweg! Instead head for Sunnegga Blauherd Rothhorn Funnicular And Cable Car Station; enter and walk right in along the long tunnel and keep left to reach the elevators that will bring you up to Riedweg. Turn right and the hotel is just 2 min away. At check in; staff will give access card to the lift that will bring us down to the ground level (through neighbouring Chalet Hotel Schönegg) very convenient! Taxi service complimentary; front staff promptly arranged the complimentary ride from the hotel to the train station during our check out. Happy customer! Definitely returning here for our next ski trip in Zermatt.

We had a Matterhorn view room and it was exceptional. The hotel is located at a height so it gives an exceptional view of the Matterhorn and Zermatt town and the surrounding mountains. The hotel has a typical Swiss ambience. It has a nice bar with outdoor seating area again with amazing view of Matterhorn and mountains. They also provide a free pickup and drop from the station. If you are going to walk with heavy bags from the station to the hotel it will be quite a workout as you have to walk on an incline for half the distance. So just ask for a pickup and drop. We had an amazing time at this hotel and I highly recommend it.

Very welcoming, traditional and clean. Much better breakfast buffet than I had expected based on the photos, nice pool area pool, not hot, but definitely not cold. Either, one drawback is ski room does not have dedicated locked cabinets, but very easy to use elevator and tunnel system to get to the village since the hotel is high up on the hill would take quite the energy to walk back up. Altogether a very good experience nice choice!

No private ski lockers, no fresh juices at breakfast

A pleasant hotel, with a good location and a nice swimming pool and sauna. We had a view of Matterhorn from our room, and a spacious balcony to enjoy it. The bed was comfortable, and actually we liked everything about our room - the space and the furnishings, maybe the bathroom looked a bit older, but everything was functioning. The staff was really nice and welcoming. (Also multilingual, which is probably no surprise for Switzerland :)

The breakfast was nice, but could have had a few more options / variations from day to day.
