We had the worst experience in the terasse restaurant. I have been coming to this place every year and was very disappointed with the service and the food. We ordered the chicken burger and the chicken not cooked and was red when explained to maitre de that the chicken was not cooked he simply took the plate didn’t apologise or even asked if he should bring another plate. He was actually angry with us for eating part of the chicken and then telling us that why did we not ask him to take back the chicken and cook it more. Not sure who eats raw chicken and needs to specifically ask for it to be cooked more!!! Finally after extensive discussion and still without apologising begrudgingly he removed the charge for that burger from our bill. For sure I am not going back.

Nice room with an incredible Matterhorn view. Service is attentive and prompt. Food was very good. The spa was closed for our entire visit…big miss. A horse drawn carriage to to the hotel is the only way to arrive!

Loved this hotel. The staff were super nice and helpful. They also seemed really happy to be working there, which is always nice to see. The hotel has old world charm and is in the centre. Great breakfast too! Clean and grand rooms.

We cannot say enough good things about this historic, comfortable property. The staff are very kind and accommodating. The rooms are very comfortable and roomy. The location is perfect and the views are perfect. You can see the Matterhorn from this hotel.

Grand Zermatterhof has the nicest- always friendly and warm. It has the best property- very luxurious. It has an excellent breakfast with live piano which is a super way to start the day. The reservation process was so easy to communicate with. We were really spoilt during our stay. And the horse cart trip to the station is a treat!
