Summary: Riffelhaus is an amazing hotel, if you want peace and quiet, great food and feel really welcomed.

Ranier Dec 23, 2024 11:07:02 AM

Summary: Zermatt’s best-kept secret. Nestled in the middle of the Zermatt Matterhorn, this 170 year old hotel integrates modern amenities while maintaining its historical roots along with breathtaking views. Riffelhaus 1853 does not disappoint and often leaves the guest with a once-in-a-lifetime experience and incredibly lucky for such a hotel to exist. It houses only 25 rooms/suits allowing for the staff to give you more personalized attention. Unlike most 170 year old hotels, Riffelhaus 1853 does an amazing job integrating modern amenities. The rooms and bathrooms were very modern with a sense of alpinist style unique to the locality. The rooms were average sized for the price; however, most guest come for the amazing view and location of this hotel rather than the size of the room. The reputation of the Riffelhaus’ Wellness Center and Spa experience is what originally motivated me to book this stay. This may be the crown jewel of the property as there is no other place like this in Zermatt. Their hot tub perched at the top of about 2582 meters overlooking the Matterhorn and the whole of Zermatt is the most beautiful in the entire area. I challenge anyone else to provide pictures of a better hot tub view. People from all over the world travel just for this experience. The large dry sauna faces a wall of glass from the ceiling to the floor that overlooks the Matterhorn and Alps and situates multiple people comfortably.

Summary: This hotel was everything I hoped it would be. The location was spectacular.

Chun Wai Sep 16, 2024 01:17:16 PM

Jessica Aug 14, 2024 09:03:51 AM

Summary: The property was beautiful, the communication about how to get there was very clear, and the staff were fabulous. The meal that was included with the hotel reservation was wonderful. It was a wonderful place to stay and gave us a great starting point for the train to the top the next morning.

YOICHI Jul 21, 2024 11:49:31 AM

Summary: The location was great.

RL Feb 12, 2024 07:38:08 PM

Summary: Great location. Lovely views. Wonderful rooms. Friendly staff.

ALICIA ESTHER Dec 11, 2023 07:11:07 PM

Summary: The hotel is located at an exclusive and perfect part of the Alps! The hotel, the service and the food are amazing! Just a thing: you maybe think about an agreement with the transportation company to give day pases to the train to Hotel Gests, so we don’t have to pay every day and for every section of the trip

JIMMY Mar 19, 2023 01:32:36 PM

Summary: We arrived at night and the staff were waiting for us at the train station to help us with the luggage. During the stay, everything was clean, calm, quite, and safe. The outdoor jaccuzi facing the matterhorn is something else, you site there and forget the timing. The staff were super friendly and one thing to notice is they work with each other as family. On top of that, Juliana was a big help to us and made our stay easier. This place is really recommended and I will come again every year for sure.
