Reviews for Riffelhaus 1853

Review 1：Need better seating and tables outside. Need better bar/bar service, especially after 22.00. Not enough food left after 8.30 for breakfast.

Review 2：Good all round !! Quarky hotel. Stunning location. great decor.

Review 3：I think it's everywhere in Switzerland. But there were so many flys around the front desk area.

Review 4：when you go right outside of the hotel, there is great view of Matterhorn even though you don't book Matterhorn view room. Really clean room and comfortable bed.

Review 5：Other guests who get up to watch the dawn should really be more considerate and not shout to each other.

Review 6：Beautiful location. The views were superb. The hot-tub is very welcome. The staff are very helpful, nothing is too much trouble; they suggested things to do, routes to walk, and even helped getting luggage to our next hotel.

Review 7：Extremely limited breakfast where food and plates run out and no one cares about that (especially taking into account an exorbitant room rate), way overpriced + train ticket is not covered (so you better consider a similar 5-star hotel nearby)

Review 8：Pure wood and modern decorated rooms, astounding views over Matterhorn and Zermatt

Review 9：A bit expensive No deck chairs outside to enjoy the views

Review 10：The seclusion, the views, the altitude, the charm, the history, the food, the lady on reception, the lady serving dinner, the room (a bit small, but what views), the walks, the sheep, the building, the fact they welcomed our little dog

Review 22：The views are stunning, particularly watching the sun set behind the Matterhorn over an apres-ski beer.
