I had a wonderful experience at Hotel Sonne during my ski holiday in Zermatt. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, providing really good service throughout my stay. The outdoor jacuzzi was a unique and relaxing feature, but the variety of dining options could use a bit more flair.

My stay at Hotel Sonne was a mixed experience. While the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the location was ideal just a short walk to the center, I was disappointed by several amenities. The outdoor jacuzzi was closed, and our room lacked expected luxuries like a minibar and comfortable bedding, which made it feel less worth the price I paid.
