Superb little gem of a hotel with easy access to the nearby lift. We booked a family room last minute and couldn’t have been happier with our stay! Super friendly staff, super clean and cozy, with comfortable beds. Highly recommended!

This is a lovely place with stunning views of the alps. The staff there are very helpful and breakfast was enjoyable. Walk 50 m to Co-op or 100 m to Grachen center. So convenient.

We had a wonderful stay at the Alpha Hotel. The hosts are lovely and helpful. Breakfast was nice. There are two small markets in the area in case you want to grab some snacks. There is a bus stop nearby and a town where you can catch a train to Zermatt for example. There is a small play house on the property which includes a slide and some swings if you are traveling with little ones . Overall we would definitely stay here again.
