Beautiful location
excellent professional and friendly reception staff, very good bar and rooms. warm and cozy bedroom with a balcony view of the mountains. The dining options for breakfast were very limited, and the attitude of the lead female staff member at the restaurant was terrible and disrespectful.

Awesome stay!
Hotel was awesome! Staff was great! Room was perfect and the breakfast was outstanding! We would stay there again. Beware that the walk to the hotel is steep. Hotel is high up so this could be a challenge to some although we loved it.

My recent stay at the Holiday Hotel in Zermatt was nothing short of magical.
What truly sets the Holiday Hotel apart is the staff. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming, Their flexibility was particularly impressive; when we encountered flight issues, the hotel made it incredibly easy for us to change our stay dates via email, responding promptly and resolving the situation with zero stress.
The team even took the time to advise us on our finances, thoughtfully reminding us to pay in the local currency (CHF) rather than Canadian Dollars (CAD) on our credit cards to ensure we received the best possible exchange rate.
Another standout moment was our final day; we had an early departure before the regular breakfast hours. Without us even asking, the front desk arranged with the kitchen to prepare on-the-go breakfast and lunch packs for our journey. It is these small, proactive gestures that turn a good stay into an unforgettable one.

Quiet location. Room was adequate. Worst shower I’ve experienced in a hotel room. Water got literally everywhere in bathroom. Pricey for the level of hotel you get.

Pros:
*Room price, cheap for Zermatt standards.
*Hotel taxi service for CHF 5 pp.
*Breakfast buffet offered, though selection limited.
*Clean room, chalet styled.
Cons:
*Location - NOT near the train station. It is a purely uphill walk and it is grueling with luggage.
*Noisy, paper thin walls.
*No hot food at breakfast. I was disappointed by this. I ate chocolate croissants and yogurt each day. No pancake/waffle making option, scrambled eggs, or bacon.
*Outdated.
*Staff not accommodating. No microwave. Acted surprised that we asked for an extra pillow.

We stayed here last March, service was great , breakfast is the best . Rooms were clean and just had a mountain views. Would definitely come back here one day. Furthermore, we are grateful for the global shipment of the jacket. Having forgotten ours, we contacted them via email, and they generously sent it to us without additional payment, exemplifying superb service.

Great hotel , excellent service and good location but we paid a bit high , we think “Mountain View room “ means to see Metthahorn view but end up we see another side of mountain, overall is good
