My stay at Grand Hotel Zermatterhof had its highlights, particularly the stunning views of the Matterhorn and the convenient location just a short walk from the train station. However, I encountered some issues at reception regarding my hotel voucher, which left a sour note on an otherwise lovely experience. The dining options could also use improvement, especially the slow service at the brasserie.

Breakfast was good with a variety of choices, but the experience at the brasserie left much to be desired due to the limited menu and slow service. I was happier ordering from the breakfast menu instead.

My stay at Grand Hotel Zermatterhof had its high points and some disappointing moments. I was absolutely mesmerized by the stunning views of the Matterhorn from my room, and the decorations for my birthday celebration were a lovely touch. However, the service left much to be desired, as there were frustrating instances with restaurant reservations and room discrepancies that dampened the experience. Overall, while the hotel has potential, the customer service didn't match the five-star expectations.

My stay at Grand Hotel Zermatterhof was truly magical, with amazing views of the Matterhorn that I woke up to each morning. The location was perfect, just a short stroll to the train station and surrounding shops and restaurants. The complementary horse-drawn carriage ride added a charming touch, but I did find the noise from the nearby church bells a bit disruptive at times.
