9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (38)
"Not a lodge/hotel but a 2 room apartment. 3rd floor walk up using narrow stairs; no elevator. Great location. Small but adequate balcony overlooking main street of Zermatt. Noisy bedroom until 10:00 PM. With occasional noisy groups passing below until 2:00. Internet connection terrible, very intermittent. Living room tiny. Extra charge for cleaning. Would not recommend "

The hotel is surrounded by shops and restaurants. This hotel was quite reasonably priced and in a great location."
