We came to Zermatt last year and wanted to stay at Hotel Alex but others in the group did not and we ended up staying elsewhree at a nice place with no restaurant or gym but near the Matterhorn Express lift. This year after a group trip fell through we decided to give the Hotel Alex a try. It a much better experience in Zermatt. The location is perfect, right next to the train station and the coop is right across the street. The gym was great and I am a non skier so used it often. The vibe of the hotel is great. The staff are all wonderful, like you kind of expect from a family owned hotel. The restaurant for half board in the evening was amazing. You can add it for a reasonable fee each day and go out if you dont like the menu of the half board. The food at dinner was overall wonderful. The Raclette on Monday was a treat as was the desert buffet one day. The half board portions are fine and can enjoy multiple courses. Their wine list is extensive. I highly recommend the Hotel Alex. It was a great week in Zermatt.

Upon arrival I paid for two good rooms they were the same price they tried to say they upgraded me and then in the middle my trip they told me I needed to wake up early the next day and go to a different room and they said they forgot to tell me upon check in. I’m not sure how many people they’ve done this too. It was the first time this was done to me and it was completely unacceptable.

Nice hotel but some serious problems

The resort is funky and eclectic and in a great location, but some of the staff were quite rude with no reason. We did not have any heat in our room all night, and the young lady at the front desk was completely dismissive of our efforts to remedy. We also did not have any hot water in the room until some four hours after check-in; again, no great sympathy was displayed. Such a shame as our stay in Zermatt was lovely overall, and we even enjoyed this funky little hotel, despite the very rude and cold girl at the front desk, and even colder water and room at night!

This property has a lot of charm even though it's an older property. It can be fairly noisy since it is older, but it has so much character and is in a great area. The hotel bar was a favorite at the end of the day before heading to dinner and even a place for a night cap. The bartender from Italy (i forgot his name) was attentive and fun. This place apparently gets extremely lively during ski season. My room was originally right by the elevator and they were able to accommodate me to a more quiet room which was nice. I had booked a small room, which was quaint, but clean and comfortable. It is walkable to all the attractions and to the gondola to the Matterhorn. I would stay here again.

Highly recommended

We stayed at the Alex Hotel in to celebrate a special occasion, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade, making our stay even more memorable. The hotel itself is beautiful, exceptionally clean, and incredibly comfortable. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay perfect, with special thanks to Thomas, who was very welcoming upon check-in. The restaurant is outstanding and the food is delicious. We will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

I throughly enjoyed my stay at the Alex. Staff was more than friendly and accommodating, the facilities are immaculately clean and the room and property had everything I wanted in a hotel. The Ski room with heated boot and glove warmers in my private locker were a fantastic add that I wasn’t aware of. Sofi and the staff were very friendly. Everything is walkable from this location, including the train. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you!!
