Nice alpine hotel
Really nice and cozy alpine style hotel. Perfect location within a 3-min walk from the train station, ski bus, Gornergrat train, and the main street with all the shops and ski rental.
Good breakfast selection, enough of healthy choices. Really enjoyed the sauna and hamam facilities, too.

Beautiful View
We got upgraded to the romantic suite and it was absolutely stunning. We had a balcony with a beautiful view of the city, and the goats on the mountain to the right.

Wonderful place to stay in Zermatt! It is a 3 minute easy walk from the train station, but off of the main road so it is quiet and peaceful. Views are great. Room very comfortable and complimentary breakfast and afternoon tea were both so nice! The only slight issue we had was that there was construction/remodeling going on during the day so we couldn't take an afternoon nap but we understand that they had to get the work done before ski season :) Lovely and helpful staff. Would definitely stay here again if we come back to Zermatt.

The Butterfly Hotel is a three-minute walk from the train station, which is what initially attracted me. I was so pleased to find an immaculately maintained property with the friendliest front staff you’ll ever find! Our room was comfortable and white-glove clean. The breakfast included in the room price was generous with much variety. Finally, the hotel was mere steps from Zermatt’s main thoroughfare. You cannot go wrong reserving accommodations here!
