Loved the hotel and the staff. The breakfast was great with lots of options. But ask for a hotel room away from the street. Our room was facing the street and the tourists were loud up till 2:00 am and the early morning work in the town started at 6:00 am. So basically, we just could not sleep at night. I loved the hotel but unfortunately had a bad experience.

Our stay at The Pollux hotel in Zermatt was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. The check-in process was a breeze, with the friendly staff ensuring we were settled in quickly and efficiently. The hotel’s location is perfect, just a 5-6 minute walk from the main train station, making it incredibly convenient for travelers. Despite its central location, the hotel maintains a peaceful and cozy ambiance that is perfect for a relaxing getaway. Our accommodations were superb, featuring thoughtful amenities like robes, slippers and additional pillows. We also had a spa access, but sadly did not have time to use it. The room setup was ideal for our family, with two separate bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing ample space and privacy for us and our two sons ( balcony facing the street). The attention to detail in the room’s amenities truly enhanced our comfort. Waking up to a delicious breakfast in the morning was another highlight of our stay. The variety and quality of the food provided a perfect start to our day of exploring Zermatt. One of the most delightful aspects of our stay was the stunning view from our room, overlooking the charming center street. The main street of Zermatt is picturesque, bustling with shops and a diverse array of restaurants. We enjoyed strolling down the street, discovering new dining options and indulging in the local culture. Our experience @ The Pollux was fantastic

Fabulous hotel. Perfectly situated, with a choice of restaurants within and more within walking distance. Easy to reach from the train station and ideal for a visit to the Matterhorn. We had a fabulous meal in the Pinte restaurant and enjoyed drinks on the outside terrace. Great view from our room and the room was amazing. Had everything I needed and was super modern. Staff were really friendly and accommodating too. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again if I am so lucky.
