My stay at Resort Hotel Alex Zermatt was nothing short of good! The hotel had a charming, cozy atmosphere that really felt like a Swiss chalet. The location was super convenient, just a quick walk from the train station, but the service made it even better with the attentive staff. The only downside was the firmness of the bed, which might not suit everyone. Overall, I'd recommend this hotel for an authentic Swiss experience, especially the gorgeous view of the Matterhorn from my balcony.
