Super clean and the staff was knowledgable and helped very time we needed any type of help. It is up hill, so I would take an electric taxi to the hotel. I of course hauled my two suitcases up what felt like the Matterhorn and I had to stop several times. I am in great shape so trust me when I say take a taxi. The steps to climb can be challenging. Once you are at the hotel the easiest corridor is exit left. It is a gradual walk up and down to the city center. Greta place and I would stay here again.

Absolutely perfect way to stay in Zermatt. Views that don’t break the bank, a staff that’s welcoming, accommodating, and kind, with amenities to match. Close enough to everything, but a block or two off to capture additional quiet and calm.

Best view in town!
We received a generous room upgrade without asking upon arrival and the staff was very friendly. Breakfast was delicious while our view of the Matterhorn was breathtaking. We’ll definitely be back next time we visit Zermatt!

Lovely stay!
We had a really nice stay at the Hotel Ambience, it had lovely staff (it was a small team as it was off-season, but they were really kind and helpful). The rooms were comfy, breakfast was great, and we really enjoyed having a relaxed drink on their terrace with a view of the Matterhorn.

The view was fantastic, the hot tub was nice (though limited hours of use) and the room was comfortable. However, given the rate we paid, we were surprised by how basic the overall hotel experience felt. There were maintenance issues with the tub and other small details that didn’t quite meet expectations. While the staff was friendly and made efforts to address the problems, the property ultimately felt more like an upscale budget hotel.

This is a great hotel for your visit to Zermatt. Our rooms had a direct view of the Matterhorn which was incredible. The location is great. Close enough to the main street and lifts and far enough away to escape the noise of the busy area. The room was clean and well kept. The only thing that would have made the stay better is if we had access to an iron. It’s a great place and we’ll be back!!

Unfortunately, the room I was given was right next to a construction site.
When I called to inform the staff, the female staff member told me that I couldn’t change rooms unless I upgraded and paid extra. The hotel wasn’t even half full at the time, so it was quite disappointing. It would have been a great opportunity to create a positive impression for a first-time guest, but instead, I was met with unhelpful response. On the other hand, the male receptionist was very kind, polite, and welcoming — I appreciated his attitude.
It’s a pity, because I had planned to come back during the ski season, but after this experience, I don’t think I’ll be staying at this hotel again.
Also The room still had some dust on the phone and the desk.

Here’s my honest review: The hotel is run by a family, and the staff were truly amazing and very thoughtful. When we requested a fork and some utensils, they kindly provided plates and spoons as well. The hotel overlooks part of the Alps, and the bathroom was beautiful and felt very luxurious. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to find cookies prepared in the room, which was a sweet and welcoming touch. There is also a coffee machine along with tea packets, sugar, spoons, and other basic amenities provided.
However, getting to the hotel from the train station was not very convenient, as we had to walk about 700 meters from the train station to an uphill on a steep slope while carrying our luggages. The bed was made up of two single beds pushed together, which felt uncomfortable due to the noticeable gap in the middle. Although the balcony faces the mountains, the view is currently partially blocked by nearby construction for another hotel, and it’s likely that the new building may further obstruct the mountain view in the future — possibly because we were assigned the last room, furthest from the main view. In my opinion, for the price we paid (around USD 400++ per night), it was not worth it. Zermatt is a small town with many hotels, and you can likely find more affordable options that are more convenient and offer better views.

This Hotel is nice and have a sauna. Have a little sala as a bar . And a restaurant where they serve the breakfast. We just stayed one night arriving at 15pm and leaving after wearing up to see Matterhorn . Room was OK .
We would like to have a kind gesture for the personal knowing that we payed for an upgrade and there is restructuring construction works I the building in front of our terrace. Terrace that was cloudly so no view Matterhorn . Besides this in the morning We have just two coffes because there were only tea in the room and the charge ua for the coffee. It was really surprising. No views// noise // no coffe in the room (230€/night) and they charging coffee . The economic room the bathroom no good .. that why we payed upgrade … better noise than small bathroom.
