We had a short but lovely stay at Testa Grigia in October. We didnt have much idea about Zermatt, so went ahead with this hotel based on a friend's reference. The owner was prompt to reply to my mail for availability, & suggested that we dont go for the cheapest room ('economy'), as it had a common bathroom on the... more

The staff was kind and hard working. Breakfast was simple and very good. The room was very large by any standards with a great view of the Matterhorn. more

We stayed at the Testa Grigia for the several days we were in Zermatt. We found the hotel through the TI at the train station and were impressed with the location and price compared to many other options. While our room (405, I believe) was small and our bathroom (though private for our use only) was located across the hall,... more

We stayed here for 1 night in late May. Pros: - It's in a great location - not far from the main train station or the Gorgengrat. - Lift to take you up to your room. - Our room was interesting. You enter into an entrance way with a dresser and door into the bathroom. There's another door that leads... more

Hotel Testa Grigia Zermatt Been to this hotel four times and can't recommend it more. It is basic but very clean and good value for money. Its central and near the railway station, so you are able to walk with your luggage, it has a ski room which is warm, if a bit smelly!!. The breakfast is good although the... more

Had always looked forward to our stay N°2. so we booked again in Jan.2009. Unfortunately, on the day of our arrival, my wife had an accident just... more

The Testa Grigia is a great affordable little hotel in what can be an otherwise quite expensive Zermatt. My ranking is based largely on this property being excellent value for money and the location is hard to beat if you value proximity to the train station and Gornergrat Bahn (Gornergrat mountain railway) - the perfect way to start your ski... more

Pros: location, larger than average rooms, friendly service unless you have a problem Cons: no heat until 8pm (this is a ski town mind you, and it gets very cold - was suggested to take a hot shower and eat something warm when the radiator couldn't be made any warmer); old rooms; door had been recently covered with varnish and... more

We parked our car in the parking garage at Taash, and took the shuttle train into Zermatt. You can bring the luggage cart from the parking garage directly onto the train and into town. Once we arrived in Zermatt, we pushed our luggage cart from the train station to Testa Grigia - about a 5 min walk. Just return the... more
