Very cosy room with a view of the Matterhorn. Everything was excellent, the breakfast, the location in the heart of the village with 5 minutes walking distance to Sunnegga and to the shuttle that takes you to the Matterhorn glacier lifts. Big thanks to Zack at the front desk who gave me a very friendly and warm welcome and was extremely professional.

Central Location: The hotel’s location in the heart of Zermatt offers easy access to key attractions, shops, restaurants, and transport links. This convenience is ideal for exploring the village and the surrounding areas without the need for extensive travel. Scenic Views: Many guests appreciate the stunning views of the Matterhorn and the surrounding Alps. The hotel’s location provides picturesque vistas that enhance the overall stay experience. Historical Charm: Hotel Alpina has a rich history that adds to its charm. Staying in a hotel with a storied past can provide a unique and authentic experience, giving you a sense of the local culture and heritage.

Room Size: Some guests find that rooms in older hotels, like Hotel Alpina, can be smaller compared to modern standards. Limited space might affect comfort, especially during longer stays. Noise Levels: Central locations can sometimes mean higher noise levels from nearby streets, shops, or other guests. If soundproofing isn’t adequate, this can be a disturbance. Aging Facilities: Historic hotels can have aging infrastructure or decor that might feel outdated. Bathrooms, heating systems, or furnishings might not be as modern or functional as those in newer hotels. Limited Amenities: Hotel Alpina might not offer as many amenities (e.g., spa, gym, or swimming pool) as larger, more contemporary hotels.

There is nobody at the hotel, but only at the partner hotel Tannenhof. They have closed over lunch and you can leave your luggage there only if lucky. The staff at the breakfast was nice. The staff at the reception let you wait 5 minutes, because there are more important things to do like finish a note. Friendliness is a word of foreign origin. You feel like you are a burden to them and not a paying customer. They better take out all customer-related staff and automize this. I rather interact with a neutral machine than somebody unfriendly and unwilling.

This hotel is terrific value in central Zermatt. Our room (21) was cosy, comfy, well-sized, great shower pressure, clean and tidy, and an elevator to save humping your bags up three floors. Slightly thin walls, slightly firm mattress, rather soft pillows, but overall it does what a hotel should without making a huge hit on the wallet. Staff were very friendly and helpful, breakfast at the hotel next door was not a vast selection but perfectly adequate.

Would have liked a fridge, but in winter time the window sill does a similar job!

The location just off the main street is excellent and the hotel has a Swiss Mountain charm about it. Our room was located on the top floor so we could view the tip of the Matterhorn which was a bonus. The room kept surprisingly warm without using the room heating available.

No fridge and no tea/coffee making facilities. The Hotel lift only stops between floors and is very small maybe only big enough for one person with a suitcase.

Bedrooms were very spacious and we had a room with a balcony from where we could enjoy the view with some wine. It was quite cold in Zermatt when we were there, but the room and bathroom were both equipped with heating that made them nice and warm. The toiletries that were provided were of high quality. The breakfast that was included was really good.

We liked everything regarding our accomodation. We did however feel that Zermatt is quite expensive in general with the city tax also being quite high for only one night (8.32 Euro for 2 people) compared to other places in Europe that we visited.

The best part of this property were the amazing staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to answer questions or provide the information / assistance we needed. The rooms were impeccably clean, which is something that is important to me. The breakfast is lovely with plenty of options and is located in a very pretty space. It is a very short walk to the main street in Zermatt, so the location is also very good.

The only downside is that the room was a little small. I believe the hotel has two buildings and I stayed in the older of the two buildings, so if you can, try to reserve a room on the newer side of the hotel. My bathroom didn't have any place to set my toiletries and the shower was really tiny.

I wasn’t expecting such a wonderful experience during our short stay in Zermatt. The staff was uniformly friendly and helpful. When they heard my older parents needed some help, they rushed over to help us with their luggage. The rooms were extremely clean and well stocked with coffee and sparkling water. The design has a cabin feel, and many of the rooms have balconies. It’s simple and nice. The Alpina’s more upscale sister hotel is next door, and the stay includes a very generous hot breakfast in that hotel’s dining room. All in all, you can’t beat the Alpina for value.

I fell in love with this cosy alpine hotel! It's a quaint 10 minute walk from Zermatt Train Station and from the moment I checked into the hotel, I was in love. The staff on reception were so friendly and helpful with any questions you had. The room was the most comfortable room I've stayed in on my travels. The bed was cosy; the mattress, pillow and duvet were clean and comforting. The views from the window and balcony were priceless. The room was fully equipped with a sink, safe, mirror, wardrobe (with key), TV (with live cams and weather info), coffee machine, hand lotions, etc. The breakfast was perfection - so much to choose from. The rooms are cleaned daily, too. AND the view of the majestic Matterhorn from the balcony was priceless. Thank you Hotel Alpina for a wonderful stay.

They are building a new Hotel Alpina in front of the current hotel. There was a lot of building noises going on and it's a shame there is a big building site in front of the hotel. I was lucky being on the fourth floor with seeing the Matterhorn in the distance but I don't know what the views from the rooms below are like.

Wonderful simple accomodation with everything you need in a small room. Even if it’s simple, everything is clean and in good working order. The breakfast was in the hotel next door and had a good selection of breads, ham, cheese, hot food, yoghurt, etc. All the staff I met were amazing.

The building itself is really in a quiet area. So a quiet nights sleep just depends on the respectfulness of your neighbours. I.e that they don’t slam doors and talk loudly / sing in their rooms (thin walls). Remember Swiss have a right to quietness from 22h - 7h
