Walls are very thin, can hear everything from every room. Pillows were non existent. Advised reception of closet not closing and shower not draining properly, no one came to check on our room even though we were told someone would. Disappointing stay. Only positive was the breakfast was very good variety.

Dream experince
This hotel is beside the Hotel Tannenhof which is the lobby you go to to check in. Hotel Alpina is the epitome of what you would expect for a swiss hotel stay. I loved everything about it. The room with a balcony, the elevator with its quirks, and the community guest area. Highly recommend taking the Matterhorn Glacier Express to get the most amazing mountain views. October also provided jaw dropping colours. For me this was a dream come true stay.

Traditional lodgings that are safe and clean. The water is warm and very strong. Don't expect any extras, but for a nice, basic room that doesn't break the bank, it works well!

Our stay at Hotel Alpina would have been great if the sound insulation in the rooms was better. We heard every single sound of the room above us and unfortunately they did not go to bed until the early hours of the morning which meant even with ear plugs we could not sleep. I wouldn’t recommend staying here for longer than a night unless you can sleep through a lot of noise. Everything else was great. 😊 Pros: comfy beds, nice shower, great location, amazing views, nice staff. Cons: high likelihood of not getting a good nights sleep. No facilities provided to make hot drinks.

Quiet!
Quiet area. Rooms are quite small, but that's expected in an older European hotel. Had a nice powerful shower stay! You check in at a neighboring hotel and walk a few meters to the Alpina. There is a nice large lounge area where you can also sure your luggage if needed. We had a small chain to keep ours secured, but I don't think it was necessary. I would stay here again.
