Zermatt Apartments

We came to choose La Vue as an alternative to hotels in Zermatt as we were 3 couples interested in traveling together. The self-appointed “Luxury living” has great reviews and a nice marketing (website) that looks attractive but leaves a lot of inconvenient FACTS aside…: To start with: there are very limited views (“La vue” in French) from the building of the Matterhorn contrary to many pictures and most other hotels in Zermatt. Secondly, the location is on the opposite side of town from all gondolas or lifts to the slopes: it is made worse by the fact that you have to climb a steep and long (400 yards) street, followed by a tunnel and 2 elevators before you can be back into your room: if you don’t mind the first time coming back from a long skiing day, it gets old after a few outings even to go for dinner down to the main street…Of course, that “detail” is not stated anywhere on the brochure or website and you have to be there to realize it.Lst but not least, the building is sitting above a major school with loud children and teens screaming at every break between classes...Worst if you are in a unit facing town...!! Although the recently (2012) built building features simple but tasteful design and style as far as the 3 bedrooms apartment was concerned, the shared amenities (reception, Spa, lounge …) are quite limited and fall short of Luxury standards: the indoor Jacuzzi is small and serves as a pool (unlike the generous size real pools that other hotels that we got to visit (modern like the Omnia, Cervo, or older establishments like Mont Cervin Palace etc…).There is no gym or work out / biking machine and the Massage team and menu are quite limited and overpriced ( I actually went for a massage at the Mont Cervin Palace Spa with amenities that are of decent size with great, international team of trained masseuses and a dedicated Manager… As far as Help/ Service is concerned, this “Luxury living” falls short again: front desk help has patchy hours ( when not smoking outside), most of the times nobody was there at standard hours and we had to deal with at least 6 different ( young/ inexperienced) agents over our 7 days stay…Except for Daniel, their English and knowledge was at best sketchy and their attitude not so great…If nobody is there, you then have to call the main hotel reception (Julen group) for remote (and delayed) assistance. The “cinema” movie room was stacked with storage stuff that blocked a third of the room and we were told that they don’t offer any DVD movie library, you just have to bring your own content… The only redeeming features at la Vue for us was a very abundant and quality breakfast served in room at the time of your choosing. When we went to the Omnia Hotel for a fine dinner, a few blocks away, we discovered an incredibly friendly and helpful reception staff even to outside guests, a great library/lounge bar/ area, an impressive pool and jacuzzi facing real Matterhorn views , and , of course, our dinner at their r

Trip.com did not state the linen fee charges per person on their website. When I arrived I was shocked that a 4CHF per person per night has turned in a 78 CHF payment which is a huge discrepancy. However, it took me about 2 hours and I resolved this with the service reception of Alpen. There is no main reception in this lobby but the service providers were superb. The room is amazingly spacious and clean and it was an overall lovely stay thanks to the great service and comfort of the room.

When we entered the apartment, the first thing that struck us was the elegant design and the fantastic view of the Matterhorn. At second glance, we thought of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Only it didn't have seven little forks, seven little spoons and seven little knives, but exactly four of each. Incidentally, the second bedroom with the bunk bed is so tiny that the dwarfs are better off taking off their pointed hats and coats in front of the door because it gets too cramped inside. We would have preferred a shower there - the spacious bathroom has a tub with a glass pane covering half the side. I always manage to flood the room and getting in and out is always a sporting challenge. But enough slander. The apartment is really a force, a large, covered, wind and weather-protected seat with a pretty designer table, where you have to be careful that the cutlery doesn't fall through the metal rungs, placemats would be practical. A huge, sunny garden terrace with lots of privacy, two umbrellas and three loungers. Spacious eat-in kitchen with a light-flooded living room and pretty furniture. All color matched perfectly. Incidentally, in addition to the limited number of cutlery and glasses, the kitchen is surprisingly well equipped, Nesspresso coffee machine, first-class dishwasher, induction cooker with 4 plates, efficient exhaust hood, super oven with steamer, microwave, huge refrigerator, pans and what is a lack in some holiday apartments, here even with matching lids, raclette oven, fondue rechaud. A paradise for the ambitious amateur cook. Even a recipe book entitled ”Cooking really well with a maximum of 6 ingredients”. I leafed through it a bit, but the first few pages had ingredients that are hardly available in Zermatt in July, for example green asparagus or Thuringian Mett, whatever that is, maybe you can find something like that on the animal feed rack in the supermarket. But, as I said, the apartment is like a fairy tale. In the spacious bedroom there is a really comfortable double bed with comfortable bed linen and enough closets. We really liked it and when we travel to Zermatt again, we will gladly book this apartment again, if they let us in again after I slandered something here on Tripadvisor and one of the four glasses in the dishwasher broke on the last evening because I stuffed it in too tight.

We stayed from Dec 27 - Jan 2. We had a family group of 21 people and 5 rooms that accommodated anywhere from 2 to 6 people. The location, the facilities and the host were all outstanding. We walked each morning to the gondola / cable car station, which is only 5 minutes walk. After great days of skiing, the rooms were perfect for relaxing and cooking dinner on the nights we ate in. Two nights we used the common dining area near the front desk for dinner and it seated all 21 of us very comfortably. The ski room on the ground floor is easy to use and we LOVE the boot warmers :-). Johanas, the host, has perfect english and he was super accommodating and helpful. We had no significant problems, and Johanas addressed any small concerns quickly and thoroughly. He also gave great local advice. In addition to this big family trip, my wife and I stayed at Paradies for a long weekend last fall and that trip was equally wonderful. We had a view of the Matterhorn and a patio that allowed us to sit outside at the end of a day hiking and enjoy a relaxing and romantic time together. We will for sure be back to stay at Paradies for future trips to Zermatt!

We recently visited Zermatt for a couple days and had the pleasure of staying in the Jolimont. We booked a studio room with kitchenette and had a direct view of the Matterhorn from our balcony. We arrived early in the afternoon and walked to the Jolimont from the train station. There are plenty of golf cart type taxis to take you where you need to go as well. Upon arrival, we noticed our name and room number posted on the door. We went to the room, it was unlocked and the keys were on the table. Obviously this was a bit strange to us but this is self check-in and is becoming more and more popular. The room was nicely appointed and spacious for a studio. We had a small dining table and large bed with separate mattresses and duvets. The bed was very comfortable for sleeping and lounging. The kitchenette was stocked with utensils and dishes. Pots and pans and even some spices were also available. The coffee espresso maker only worked with Delizio brand pods so we had to buy some from the local Migros grocery store which was a short walk back towards the train station. The kitchen was also equipped with a two burner cooktop, small oven and under counter dishwasher. Everything worked well and were put to use as dining out in Zermatt is on the pricey side. The bathroom was my favorite part of the stay, aside from the view of the Matterhorn. Although fairly small, it was sleek and modern, bright and airy with an open shower wet room feel. The best part was the shower and the water pressure. It was amazing! I felt like I was getting a hydro massage every time I showered. Our trip to Zermatt was short but we will remember it fondly because of the stunning views and a very nice place to stay, the Jolimont.

We stayed in the first floor apartment in this brand new building. The apartment which accommodates six guests, covers the entire first floor. The apartment is surrounded by balconies and a huge terrace directly facing the Matterhorn. Two bedrooms and the kitchen/dining overlook the river. The sound of the river is really seductive! The third bedroom overlooks the terrace and has a huge modern ensuite bathroom. The apartment has been done to an extremely high standard. The kitchen is huge, modern and well equipped. The three bathrooms have been done with modern design and tasteful finishes. There is a washing machine/dryer in the apartment which is extremely convenient. The location of the building is very central with easy access to the train station and all touristic and sports attractions. Many restaurants are within meters away. Our stay was made most comfortable by the constant attentive service provided by Ms. Alessandra who takes extra care and does not spare any effort to make her guests enjoy a memorable vacation. Highly recommended.
