Loved loved loved this property! Our room was great and we had a balcony that looked up at the mountains. The breakfast spread was amazing and the hotel bar is so cozy and fun.

The staff was so friendly at check in and check out. The restaurant staff was so friendly as well. The location was perfect to walk to the train station and the gondola to the Matterhorn. We had a beautiful view of the Matterhorn from our room!

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.

Loved the hotel and the staff. The breakfast was great with lots of options. But ask for a hotel room away from the street. Our room was facing the street and the tourists were loud up till 2:00 am and the early morning work in the town started at 6:00 am. So basically, we just could not sleep at night. I loved the hotel but unfortunately had a bad experience.
