“The Rex distinguishes itself with its dedication to wellness and attentive service; the staff goes above and beyond. I noticed the special touches like fresh bread from the on-site bakery and the rejuvenating spa facilities-including saunas and a whirlpool-enhance the experience. Its location near the ski bus makes it a practical base for exploring Zermatt's slopes.”

Feedback about The Rex from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Rex enjoys a convenient location, within a short walk to both the train station and gondola, offering easy access while providing a peaceful escape from the main street's bustle. Many guests appreciate the spacious rooms, some featuring Matterhorn views. The on-site bakery, serving fresh bread and baked goods at breakfast, is also a highlight. While some guests have mentioned occasional difficulty regulating the shower temperature, the overall experience tends to be overwhelmingly positive.

warm staff luxurious bathroom
The hotel staff were genuinely warm and helpful. i found the breakfast to be a highlight, especially with the in-house bakery. The aroma filled the air. the rooms were large, and the bathrooms had a luxurious feel.
the advertisement was misleading, and the situation was not ideal. this issue impacted my overall satisfaction with the room.

The hotel location is close to bars. restaurants are also nearby. the hotel offers transport from the train station. This helped a lot. there is a bakery inside with tasty bread.
the room was misleading in the advertisement. the temperature of the shower was difficult to regulate, i found that annoying.
