Great location- about an 8-10 minute walk to the Main Street, main train station and the Gornergrat station. About a 15 minute walk to the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise gondolas. The hotel has great views of the Matterhorn and right at the river walk. I highly recommend this hotel.

Aside from the friendliness of the staff, the thing I liked best about Hotel Parkas was the amazing view of the Matterhorn from my balcony! The room was bright, clean, and very pleasant. Although there was not a refrigerator in the room, there was a refrigerator in the room downstairs. The staff was extremely accommodating. The hotel was also near the train station and the numerous shops I the area. I would definitely recommend this hotel. It included breakfast and was a good value for the price.

Super comfortable, friendly staff, great location. You can see the Matterhorn from the entrance of the hotel Rooms are clean and super comfortable. Breakfast is included and it has a really nice array of options. It’s 10 minutes walking from the train station but not on the main street so it’s very quiet. Definitely recommendable
