Petit Helvetia Budget Hotel

Small room with basic amenities. The room is very close to the main street where at night it’s super noisy with the bar downstairs. The breakfast is simple and fine. I’d only suggest if you’re on a budget and looking for a short stay.

Location is good, variety of breakfast choice are not much but breads are taste good.

Initially I was a bit apprehensive about this hotel based on reviews but it was a good stay!! Great value for Zermatt! Walking distance about 10 mins from Zermatt station, on shopping street. Toilets and stairway up a bit small but ok for us. Luckily we were located on first floor so didn’t have to climb up too many stairs with our luggage. There’s a pizzeria below. Things to note: didn’t see a bin ( only a small one in toilet) so maybe bring your own plastic bag for a bin as well as room slippers. Place was clean! However there’s some loud music that played even in the wee hours of the night like 3am, so if you are a light sleeper, you might need to put on some ear plugs to muffle the noise out. Nonetheless, A huge thank you for the stay. Convenient, Breakfast was awesome, simple spread but very heartwarming and the coffee was the most delicious I’ve had. It was the Easter weekend so there’s pretty Easter eggs for breakfast too! The lady owner was lovely and check in and check out was very easy and seamless. We stayed for a night and would recommend this place.

This is a lovely quaint hotel and we liked the room. However we had to check ourselves in and were disappointed with staff insisting on immediate cash payment when we went down for breakfast. The room was prepared for the next guests while we were at breakfast, including personal items being moved. This is not appropriate

Cozy, comfortable. Easy to check in. Staff pleasant. Continental breakfast was good. Cons-Noisy at night, bathroom issues but usable.

The hotel is located in the middle of the main strasse in Zermatt, close to everything. The property is very old and currently under renovation (I think). The stairway is hard to climb and dangerous, often dark. The walls are bare drywall with exposed wiring. Our room on the fourth floor had a great view and a large shower, after that nothing good. The bed collapsed during the night, I fell through to the floor. The floors are on a slant and the bathroom has a small dangerous step to the toilet and shower from the sink. The on property staff is quite rude and showed no interest in the issues with the room. The housekeeper was pleasant and nice and did a good job. I checked out after the first night and found a new hotel. I have to say the owner, who is off property, did issue me a full refund and apologies. I am very grateful for his generosity. Perhaps the hotel will be better by next season. I hope so.
