You book in at an adjacent hotel. This is also where breakfast is served. Breakfast is continental with no hot option. We found that perfectly adequate. The hotel itself is a little shabby and run down. But it is very clean. The photos of the hotels rooms are certainly not the room we were in which featured floor to ceiling pine cladding and what appeared to be polystyrene ceiling tiles. There is no kettle or tea making facilities. It's all a bit dated. But let's be honest, we were there 2 nights and it was comfortable enough. We found noise from other residents to be intrusive; slamming doors, raucus laughter late at night/early in the morning and whoever had the room above us seemed intent on moving the furniture about at 5am. None of this is the hotels fault. The shower is the most powerful we've ever had. You could pressure wash a car with it. Overall, it was OK for a couple of days but we wouldn't have wanted to stay much longer.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff and the service was nice. The location in the English Quarter was as expected and desired, 1 minute from the main commerce area. The all wood room (including the ceiling) was a nice touch, as were the old fashioned windows Unfortunately the small old elevator kept going inoperative when the 3rd floor door wouldn't register as closed, forcing my wife with bad knee and cane to work up stairs multiple times until I figured out the source of the problem. The bathroom was modern but not all was clean. The wardrobe latch was broken, but we didn't use it. This is a very popular tourist town with a wide variety of hotel options. To compete, Hotel Alpina needs to add a few more touches.

Our room on the top floor was really old; the mattress was very thin; bathroom was old and outdated. Room didn’t have a coffee machine and when asked at the front desk: the staff commented that it’s because the hotel is only second class despite paying such a high price

Came to Zermatt for the first time, staff were so friendly and accommodating. They provided us information on best places to eat and to see. We arrived with our pram & 2 suitcases, staff were very helpful in helping us get to our room. The views from the hotel are amazing.

Check in and out was easy and good. Reception nice room n area were also very nice. Location is excellent. The only thing I didn’t like was the cleaning crew in the morning are very noisy and not considerate of those still in the room . Talking very loud and banging things around. It’s a very nice place and a good basic stay.
