The hotel is great, with a very convenient location close to the train station. The hotel is pretty and comfortable, with its own restaurant. The room was spacious and comfortable. It was on the top floor and had a glass ceiling to see the mountains. The only downside was that it was very noisy at night because it was right on the Main Street and people were out late.

Perfect Boutique Hotel in the heart of Zermatt

This is an amazing boutique hotel in the heart of Zermatt and a mere 4 minute walk from the train station. Staff were very nice, rooms were immaculately clean and comfortable. They have an attached restaurant and bar that were great. Both have great atmosphere with a cozy fireplace in the lobby bar. Great saunas and steam rooms on the lowest level. Ski storage room as well and a nice gym. Perfect place to stay on all fronts.

We stayed at the Pullox for three nights. The hotel is incredibly charming and the staff extremely friendly. It’s centrally located on the main shopping street in Zermatt, making it a quick 5 minute walk from the train station and 7 minutes to the Matterhorn lift.

Love that this hotel has a laundry room. They charge a fee to the washer and dryer but it's still reasonable compared to the typical laundry fee per item. Location is close to the main station as well as the gornergret station making it pretty convenient. They are several shops as well as a supermarket nearby too. Overall room and bathroom are nice, spacious and clean.
