This Hotel is owned by the 5 Star Grand Hotel Zermatterhof and you have access to their facility at a cost. The Alpina does not have a Front Desk, so you must go to the 4 Star Hotel Tannenhof for Check In and such. Nice Affordable Hotel.

Walls are very thin, can hear everything from every room. Pillows were non existent. Advised reception of closet not closing and shower not draining properly, no one came to check on our room even though we were told someone would. Disappointing stay. Only positive was the breakfast was very good variety.

Dream experince

This hotel is beside the Hotel Tannenhof which is the lobby you go to to check in. Hotel Alpina is the epitome of what you would expect for a swiss hotel stay. I loved everything about it. The room with a balcony, the elevator with its quirks, and the community guest area. Highly recommend taking the Matterhorn Glacier Express to get the most amazing mountain views. October also provided jaw dropping colours. For me this was a dream come true stay.

Traditional lodgings that are safe and clean. The water is warm and very strong. Don't expect any extras, but for a nice, basic room that doesn't break the bank, it works well!
