Convenient Ski Base

great locationequipment storagecentral locationdirty hallway
The location is great if you plan to ski, as it is quite close to the bus stop. This bus takes you to the funicular for Sunegga, and the train for Gornergrat, that was convienient. Facilities include a ski room for equipment storage and the hotel is in a central location. This is a no frills place to base yourself to ski from.
Hallways were pretty dirty, that was a minor problem. Our friend's single room was a little bit sub-par, that created a bad impression.
Service
9/10
The staff was excellent and very helpful. They assisted with directions and provided useful information about local attractions and transportation. Their positive attitude was nice, though sometimes a little slow.
Location
8/10
The hotel is only 5 kilometers from the Gornergrat ridge and ten minutes from the train station. It is close to the church and Matterhorn viewpoint bridge, that offers nice opportunities for photography. Finding places to eat is easy due to a central location.
