From the time you enter you know you are in a beautiful and welcoming hotel with great woodwork throughout. The rooms were nice, spacious and quite comfortable. The spa facilities for both adults and children are first rate. Our kids were 14 & 16 and we saw all ages enjoying the spa. We spent 60-90 minutes after skiing each evening moving around the pool, hot tubs, steam rooms, saunas etc. They were all beautiful with relaxing lighting and music. Breakfast had a good selection of options including made to order eggs. Everything was very good. It wasn't the top breakfast I have had at a four star hotel in European ski resorts but still very solid and everyone will be more than satisfied. The location is off the main street at the edge of the main village about a seven minute walk into the center of the village and very quiet. The Gornergrat train is a 4-5 minute walk in ski boots. The Sunnegga train is 8-10 minute walk in ski boots and the third lift is across town and too long to walk in ski boots. The ski bus stop is just a few minutes from the hotel and takes you to the Sunnegga train in a few minutes if you don't want to walk, The Matterhorn express in around ten minutes by ski bus. While you are not in the center of the resort everything including the skiing is quite accessible without too much effort. I would highly recommend the Alpen Resort Hotel. It is an excellent choice and appeared to be a great value for the money as compared to similar quality hotels.

Bathrooms are on the smaller size but not a major issue

Clean and spacious room. Spa area was incredible! I loved the outside jacuzzi with mountain view. Super good breakfast with a lot of variety. Five minutes walking from the train station and village center (although hotel offers shuttle service). I highly recommend!

Staff were very nice and helpful. The room was perfect

The bed, mattress and the pillows were super uncomfortable. I couldn't sleep during my stay. If you have neck problems specifically, take your own pillow.

I love the resort and location. It is walkable from the zermatt station but also comes with an option of a mini shuttle running from 7am to 9pm at a call from the station central. I also love the entertainment, pool and spa which I can do within the resort. Staff were friendly as well! Had an opportunity to try out their Hornox restaurant and I think the food were pretty good. …and would like to thank the hotel for the thoughtful ‘gift’ as well! :)

There’s really nothing much to complain about.

The facilities and services were wonderful. We especially were impressed by the teatime and availability of prosecco to make mimosas in the morning. The fact that we could still use the spa until 22:00 on the day of check-out was absolutely a game changer that we were immensely grateful for.

One of the staff members at the reception was having a very hard time With English and she was not very good at sounding friendly either. We could tell she was doing her best, but both times on the day of check-un and check-out she made our interaction quite unnecessary difficult.

The hotel is in a good location, a shortish, fairly flat walk from the station In Zermatt. We found the staff to be very friendly, our room was a very good size with a sofa and armchair and a balcony giving us an excellent view of the Matterhorn (once it stopped snowing - in May!). The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was a good size with a great shower and nice toiletries. The breakfast buffet was very good and the hotel serves free tea and cakes in the afternoon. There are 3 different restaurants offering a fairly wide range of options for lunch or evening meal, but there are also lots of other restaurants within walking distance. There is a small but quite well equipped gym and the pool is lovely (and atmospheric) although with three whirlpool areas within the pool the actual area available for swimming lengths is not very wide. There is also an outdoor hot-tub and a spa (but we didn't try any treatments so I can't comment on that). I unfortunately fell at the top of the Gornergratt and broke my wrist very badly; the hotel staff were very helpful in immediately referring us to the appropriate medical services and arranging transport for us to get there - we got the feeling that it may be something they have to arrange not infrequently!

The resort is cute, and the newly renovated spa complex is an amazing treat at the end of a long day. The bed was comfortable, the room was nicely furnished, and the view absolutely could not be beat. From our bed we could look out and see the Matterhorn, which was an amazing way to start the day. Breakfast was a fairly standard, but generous spread of meats, cheeses, bread, eggs, and cereal, and a great way to start the day. Restaurants in the area seem to close between 2 and 6, but the hotel has snacks, teas, and cakes available in the lobby during this time to hold you over until dinner. The front-desk staff was exceptional, especially Anna. She went out of her way to make our stay the most amazing that she could, including suggesting locations for dinner and handling reservations, and bringing additional towels directly to our room herself. The customer service really made the stay exceptional.

The view of the Matterhorn from the terrace was exceptional. Very close to the train station, just a few minutes' walk. Amazing attention to detail as I emailed mentioning that it was my boyfriend's birthday to ask whether a fridge would be available to store drinks for this occasion, and without me even asking, we entered the room to find it decorated with a Happy Birthday banner, flowers, balloons. Champagne glasses also placed in the room (but I think this is standard regardless of birthday, as the mini-fridge had various drinks for sale in it anyway). Bed very comfortable and huge. The spa facilities were also wide-ranging, with sauna, steam room, cold shower and ice, rooftop jacuzzi and a larger pool to swim in. We could use the spa for several hours before check-in time and apple juice + hazelnuts + nuts were provided as healthy snacks. Breakfast was also delicious, so many options: salmon, cheeses, several meats, fruit, yoghurts, cereals, fresh vegetables and baked goods. Champagne was available at breakfast as well. For this reason, I do not understand some of the comments saying that the selection was too small... I ate so much that my stomach hurt and didn't even get to try everything! An exceptional stay that I will be sure to repeat next time I am in Zermatt.

One single negative in my view: a bit strange that the changing room in the spa area is shared male-female. I am female and did not necessarily want to have an older man getting changed in front of me (though this particular gentleman was kind and respectful)

The entire property was amazing! We had a 4th floor suite with a balcony with an incredible view of The Matterhorn. The beds were extremely comfortable. The spa was awesome and included in the rate. The mini bar was nice as was the complimentary water provided. The hotel also provided robes, slippers and a spa bag for your convenience and comfort while enjoying the spa facilities. The staff were great and very friendly. We loved the included breakfast which was a fantastic selection. The smokers lounge was a nice touch and they have a small but great selection of cigars.

Honestly can not think of anything!

We had the top room of the hotel with a balcony which looked out over Zermatt to the Matterhorn, what a view to wake up with in the morning. The room was very nice with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. All the other amenities the hotel provided were very beautifully designed and perfect for a spa retreat when you get back from your adventure. The staff were very accommodating especially the all rounder man thanks Boss! There was one Italian woman at the desk who was a bit short with my wife but sometimes italians can be like that.

Nothing really, we fully enjoyed our time at the Alpen spa resort .
