Hotels near Edelweissweg Höhbalmen, Zermatt

Very cozy and clean, the staff checked our covid certificates and immediately accommodated us in our rooms. Breakfast was included in our price, we were asked what we wanted to have (croissant, bread, coffee order and ham/cheese) the previous day. I want to believe it was due to corona restrictions that they did not include these on the breakfast buffet, because one thin slice of bread was not sufficient; although we got a second serving when we asked. The rooms were warm, clean and all in all, a very decent option for the otherwise ”overpriced” Zermatt.

On a quiet side street, in the middle of the town, with easy access to the railway station, shops and restaurants. Our room was spacious and clean, the breakfast very good. From our first floor room we could even see the top of Matterhorn. What surprised me though was the luck of any leaflets advertising attractions and events nearby, but maybe this is not a feature of Swiss travel industry.

clean and cozy room with a nice spacious balcony. balcony had a good view of the mountain in the distance but nothing wow. breakfast buffet is normal. they offer free beverages and some snacks during tea time. Location is very convenient, just 5 mins walk away from Zermatt train station.

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.

The Matterhornlodge is located about a 5-10 min walk from the Zermatt station. We arrived at about 1pm and were informed that check-in was only at 2pm so we went for lunch and returned at around 2.30pm. We were greeted by Ruth, the proprietress of the hotel, who gave us a comprehensive briefing of the house rules and policies. Ruth was very warm, friendly, and charming; she was very guest-focused and was happy to find out more about where we were from and what we planned to do. Ruth even gave us recommendations for Bern when we told her we were going there next. Although the hotel is stated to be 4 stars, we were very impressed by the room and the amenities. The bathroom came with a bidet and the toiletries provided were of good quality. The room was also very spacious with enough room to open up 2 luggage bags. The towels and robes were thick, warm, and fluffy. The breakfast provided in the morning was also quite good with a decent selection of breads, cold cuts, cheese, and eggs. At checkout, Ruth also gave us a complimentary ride to the train station in her electric vehicle. All in all, we had a very enjoyable stay at the Matterhornlodge and we were very impressed by Ruth’s hospitality.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. Room was clean, spacious and very comfortable. Very near the zermatt train station, just opposite of Macdonald’s. Breakfast had a good selection. Housekeeping would check in on you and offer free chocolates. The only feedback I have is the room didn’t provide English instructions on how to dial the concierge so I had to walk down to request for items.

We loved this hotel mainly due to the comfortable / nicely appointed rooms, the views and the service. If you are interested in views you must request a room with a view. The walk to shops is about 5-8 minutes but it was not bad. The people at this hotel were super nice. We would go back.

Trip.com did not state the linen fee charges per person on their website. When I arrived I was shocked that a 4CHF per person per night has turned in a 78 CHF payment which is a huge discrepancy. However, it took me about 2 hours and I resolved this with the service reception of Alpen. There is no main reception in this lobby but the service providers were superb. The room is amazingly spacious and clean and it was an overall lovely stay thanks to the great service and comfort of the room.

We stayed here for 3 nights to celebrate my sixtieth birthday, and had a lovely time. This hotel is located at the top of the mountain at just over 10,000 ft which is something to be aware of when booking. You may suffer from altitude sickness as we did , and it took a good 24 hrs to acclimatise. Fortunately we were there for 3 nights , so we were able to enjoy it. The rooms are well equipped , modern and very clean , but fairly small, and of course the view is amazing. You don’t come here for the food, and as others have said , it’s average, Breakfast is lovely, a good buffet and eggs cooked to order. Dinner however was a little disappointing, mainly due to the fact that the chef consistently over cooked the meat , to such an extent that on the last night the beef was inedible. It looks like ( in our opinion) parts of the meals are cooked in advance and reheated , leading to dry and at times very overcooked food. On my birthday however , the meal was lovely and the staff really made an effort for me, a lovely private table with a view of the Matterhorn, impeccable service from our waiter Peter, topped of with a special dessert from the chef. This hotel is very expensive, not unsurprising given the location, but for this price I would have expected more attention to detail from the chef. However when the trains stop and you get the top of the mountain with just you and a few other guests it is absolutely stunning, I even got up early to see sunrise one morning, and along with several other guests , had a spectacular view .

We would not stay here again. The 1980s revisited... Pros: Big room, great view mountains (not the Matterhorn), close to train station, huge balcony, parking beneath the hotel. Nice sized bathroom. Breakfast was satisfactory. A good starting point for a trip to Zermatt, if you're not going to stay in Zermatt. There are some great walking paths near this hotel. Cons: Ugly...brown...shag...carpeting. Orange furniture. Worn linens, mattresses and pillows. Traffic noise was a problem because we had to open the windows for ventilation during this warm spell. No ice was available for our room. No in-room refrigerator. Service staff was indifferent. If you are driving and going for a quick trip to Zermatt, I recommend parking your car in Tasch and leave your big luggage in the trunk. Take your carry-on and the train to Zermatt and stay for one (maybe two) nights there to see the sights. Then take the return train to Tasch to retrieve your car. I don't recommend staying in Tasch.
