Reviews and Ratings
I stayed at the Stellarium Gornergrat situated in the Kulmhotel and had a wonderful experience overall. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully named after mountains above 4000 m in the area. The presence of a vaporizer in the room to adjust to the high altitude was a nice touch. The service was friendly, but it seemed a bit overwhelmed during the check-out rush at 11 am. The location is simply breathtaking, offering stunning views of Monta Rosa, Matterhorn, Weisshorn, and Dom mountains, especially visible from my room window. The dining options were varied and satisfying, with impeccable service. The facilities were well-kept, enhancing the overall stay.
Staying at this hotel was like having my personal observatory with a fantastic view of the Matterhorn. The room, though not spacious, was cozy and spotlessly clean. The staff was exceptionally helpful and attentive, catering to our needs with warmth and care. While check-out may have been a bit rushed due to high demand, the service was still top-notch. The location, surrounded by the majestic Monta Rosa, Matterhorn, Weisshorn, and Dom peaks, offered a breathtaking experience for nature lovers. The dining experience was delightful, surpassing even that of some higher-rated hotels in town, with a diverse and scrumptious selection of dishes. The facilities were well-maintained, enhancing our overall stay.
The hotel offers fantastic alpine modern rooms with stunning views, but the absence of refrigerators can be inconvenient. The service is efficient but lacks a bit of warmth. The location atop Gornergrat provides breathtaking glacier views but may get crowded with tourists. The dining experience is good, though breakfast choices could be improved. The facilities are well-maintained and cater to various needs.
The hotel offers comfortable and beautifully designed rooms but could improve by providing a humidifier for more comfort. The service was generally helpful and accommodating, although there were some issues during checkout. The location boasts breathtaking views of the Alps but might be considered overpriced for certain activities. The dining options were good quality but could benefit from more variety in breakfast choices.
