“Petit Helvetia is a climb, no question, tucked away in an alley and up several flights in an old chalet - worth knowing if you're carrying heavy bags. But settling in, the rooms surprise; unexpectedly comfortable with thoughtful touches like a kettle and balcony overlooking the street. For a budget stay in Zermatt, that counts for a lot.”
