Reviews of Riffelhaus 1853 describe a memorable mountain stay with breathtaking Matterhorn views, quality dining, and a remote ski‑in/ski‑out setting that rewards planners who account for mountain transport schedules and costs.
Many highlight the wellness area—especially the sauna and outdoor hot tub—as a signature feature. Service is widely described as warm and attentive, with helpful luggage assistance, though a few report booking or communication glitches and some unexpected fees. Rooms feel modern with alpine character; bathrooms receive special praise, while sizes can be compact and some rooms have smaller windows. Ideal for travelers seeking tranquil, high‑altitude seclusion with thoughtful comforts.

このホテルに泊まりたくてスイス旅行を計画しました。 マッターホルンビューの部屋の窓からはマッターホルンが目の前に見え、屋外のジャグジーからは山々を見渡せる絶景が広がっていました！ 食事は朝晩付いており、夜ご飯はコース料理で美味しかったです。 とても標高約2,600mに位置しているとは思えないほど快適な滞在で、本当に泊まってよかったです！！

If you are debating on booking this please do yourself a favor and go for it. I cannot describe how beautiful the location is, the photos don't do it justice. The spa was great, and they probably have the worlds best hot tub view. The staff was incredibly kind and greeted us at the train stop to take our bags. There are plenty of walking trails right near the property. The staff spoke multiple languages and were incredibly kind. It was a unique experience and I hope one day I can go back.

マッターホルンを独り占めできるロケーションのホテルで最高の時間が過ごせました。 スタッフの方も全員とっても親切だった。 夕食はコースで出てきて、少食の私にはボリュームが多すぎたが、食べれないデザートのキャンセルも笑顔で対応してくれました。 メインも選ぶことができて、サラダもたくさん食べることができた。 部屋はとてもコンパクトにまとまっていたが、清潔で心地よく過ごすことができました。 部屋の窓越しにマッターホルンを写真に取ると、まるで絵のように綺麗で一生の思い出になりました。 またサウナもすごいロケーションだった。 時期的に人が少ない時期で、自分たちだけでゆっくり過ごせたのは最高の時間でした。 帰りにFuri経由のゴンドラで帰りたかったが夏の営業期間があったらしく動いておらずだった。 ただ、スイスに行くなら絶対に泊まった方が良いホテルでした！

Zermatt’s best-kept secret. Nestled in the middle of the Zermatt Matterhorn, this 170 year old hotel integrates modern amenities while maintaining its historical roots along with breathtaking views. Riffelhaus 1853 does not disappoint and often leaves the guest with a once-in-a-lifetime experience and incredibly lucky for such a hotel to exist. It houses only 25 rooms/suits allowing for the staff to give you more personalized attention. Unlike most 170 year old hotels, Riffelhaus 1853 does an amazing job integrating modern amenities. The rooms and bathrooms were very modern with a sense of alpinist style unique to the locality. The rooms were average sized for the price; however, most guest come for the amazing view and location of this hotel rather than the size of the room. The reputation of the Riffelhaus’ Wellness Center and Spa experience is what originally motivated me to book this stay. This may be the crown jewel of the property as there is no other place like this in Zermatt. Their hot tub perched at the top of about 2582 meters overlooking the Matterhorn and the whole of Zermatt is the most beautiful in the entire area. I challenge anyone else to provide pictures of a better hot tub view. People from all over the world travel just for this experience. The large dry sauna faces a wall of glass from the ceiling to the floor that overlooks the Matterhorn and Alps and situates multiple people comfortably.

Fantastischer Blick aus der Sauna und vom Jaccuzi auf das Matterhorn. Zum Skifahren perfekt, Lift zum Hotel und Abfahrt ab und zum Hotel, besser geht es nicht! Tolles Abendessen bei Halbpension! Die Fenster sind etwas klein, aber es ist halt ein altes Gebäude, Zimmer sind aber auf modernem Niveau. Toller Service, Liefung des Gepäcks von und zu der Zahnradbahn. Bei ihrem Buchungssystem haben sie ein paar Macken, am besten nochmal vom Hotel bestätigen lassen, dass es nicht zu einer Doppelbuchung kam.

We arrived at night and the staff were waiting for us at the train station to help us with the luggage. During the stay, everything was clean, calm, quite, and safe. The outdoor jaccuzi facing the matterhorn is something else, you site there and forget the timing. The staff were super friendly and one thing to notice is they work with each other as family. On top of that, Juliana was a big help to us and made our stay easier. This place is really recommended and I will come again every year for sure.

If you are debating on booking this please do yourself a favor and go for it. I cannot describe how beautiful the location is, the photos don't do it justice. The spa was great, and they probably have the worlds best hot tub view. The staff was incredibly kind and greeted us at the train stop to take our bags. There are plenty of walking trails right near the property. The staff spoke multiple languages and were incredibly kind. It was a unique experience and I hope one day I can go back.

リッフェルホテルからの依頼で宿泊先変更しました。とても良いホテルでしたのでマッターホルンを充分に楽しめました。 予約日1週間前になっても宿泊先から連絡がなかったためリッフェルホテルに確認のメッセージを送りましたが、返信が遅く、どちらかのホテル泊まるのか曖昧なメッセージが来て混乱しました。最終的にHotels.comに連絡をとり宿泊先を確認しましたが、いまだに意味がわかりません。ただお陰で素晴らしいホテルに泊まるチャンスを得たのは本当にラッキーでした。

We had the most unforgettable stay at Riffelhaus 1853, and I can’t say enough good things about the incredible team here. Dior and Sven went above and beyond for us, and every single staff member made us feel truly cared for over the last four days. Their kindness, professionalism, and warmth made all the difference in the unique situation we were all just in. That kind of service is rare, and it meant the world to us. We wouldn’t trade the experience we just had for anything. We’re leaving with full hearts and a deep appreciation for all the people who made it so special. We will definitely be back—and until then, we’ll be singing the praises of Riffelhaus to everyone we know. Thank you for everything. You truly are something special!

A fantastic place to stay, high up in the Alps. Staff was always very professional and helpful and went out of their way to accommodate us. The views from the rooms are world class. Highly recommended.

Fantastischer Blick aus der Sauna und vom Jaccuzi auf das Matterhorn. Zum Skifahren perfekt, Lift zum Hotel und Abfahrt ab und zum Hotel, besser geht es nicht! Tolles Abendessen bei Halbpension! Die Fenster sind etwas klein, aber es ist halt ein altes Gebäude, Zimmer sind aber auf modernem Niveau. Toller Service, Liefung des Gepäcks von und zu der Zahnradbahn. Bei ihrem Buchungssystem haben sie ein paar Macken, am besten nochmal vom Hotel bestätigen lassen, dass es nicht zu einer Doppelbuchung kam.

The hotel is located at an exclusive and perfect part of the Alps! The hotel, the service and the food are amazing! Just a thing: you maybe think about an agreement with the transportation company to give day pases to the train to Hotel Gests, so we don’t have to pay every day and for every section of the trip

Above expectations all around. We stayed for our honeymoon, and it was perfect. Tranquil, separated from the aprés scene, perfect ski in ski out for first tracks every day before the gondolas started bringing people from town. Breakfast and dinner were included and absolutely top tier dining every day. The staff were helpful and welcoming. The baggage service from the train was incredibly helpful so that we didn’t have to haul our luggage across the ski hill. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We plan on returning!

Nós adoramos a estadia , o hotel fica num lugar magnífico , os funcionários sempre dispostos a ajudar , comida maravilhosa e localização magnífica. A única sugestão para o hotel seria disponibilizar o tíquete para pegar o teleférico e acessar o hotel e outro tíquete para poder descer com o teleférico das montanhas . Além disso , poderia avisar a necessidade de ligar para o hotel para poder buscar as malas na estação do teleférico.

Zermatt’s best-kept secret. Nestled in the middle of the Zermatt Matterhorn, this 170 year old hotel integrates modern amenities while maintaining its historical roots along with breathtaking views. Riffelhaus 1853 does not disappoint and often leaves the guest with a once-in-a-lifetime experience and incredibly lucky for such a hotel to exist. It houses only 25 rooms/suits allowing for the staff to give you more personalized attention. Unlike most 170 year old hotels, Riffelhaus 1853 does an amazing job integrating modern amenities. The rooms and bathrooms were very modern with a sense of alpinist style unique to the locality. The rooms were average sized for the price; however, most guest come for the amazing view and location of this hotel rather than the size of the room. The reputation of the Riffelhaus’ Wellness Center and Spa experience is what originally motivated me to book this stay. This may be the crown jewel of the property as there is no other place like this in Zermatt. Their hot tub perched at the top of about 2582 meters overlooking the Matterhorn and the whole of Zermatt is the most beautiful in the entire area. I challenge anyone else to provide pictures of a better hot tub view. People from all over the world travel just for this experience. The large dry sauna faces a wall of glass from the ceiling to the floor that overlooks the Matterhorn and Alps and situates multiple people comfortably.

I love the sight around and from the window, the room clean, quiet, staff friendly. What I didn’t like it was the dinner choices were not much to offer, I ordered a duck who looks ok. to order but the meat was very hard and chewy. The breakfast was better with more choices and friendly staff.
