After an exhausting multi-day journey and a night interrupted by a false fire alarm, my wife and I overslept and requested room service. Our room was admittedly untidy due to open luggage and clothes on the floor - a result of travel fatigue and sleep deprivation.
The following day, a staff member approached us about the room's condition, stating it was "impossible for room service to clean." Their tone and words felt belittling and inappropriate, especially considering the hotel's premium pricing (over $1000 for a 3-night stay). He made my wife feel horrible (to which I later corrected him for doing so)
While we acknowledge our room was messy, it took my wife only five minutes to tidy up, suggesting the situation was not as dire as portrayed. More importantly, we believe that regardless of room condition, staff should maintain professionalism and courtesy when addressing guests.
This interaction significantly impacted our stay. While the hotel has many positive attributes, this experience makes us hesitant to recommend it. Zermatt offers numerous hotel options other than this hotel
