Top 10 Morenia Hotels

Superb hotel This was a special trip to celebrate a big birthday. The hotel is wonderful. We had a suite which was spacious and comfortable with a balcony looking on to the mountains. The service in the bar and restaurant was first class. We were half board and there is a set meal for half board guests. However, unlike other hotels we could swap courses from the a la carte menu. I actually only did this once as the half board menu was so good. The spa is beautiful with a lovely pool big enough for children to splash and adults to swim. There is an efficient shuttle service to the ski slopes which we used in the mornings. You can return on the shuttle but we decided to walk as it is only 5 minutes away. The hotel staff are extremely helpful and courteous and nothing is too much trouble. Saas Fee is a beautiful village, traffic free apart from the electric hotel shuttles and occasional taxis. 3 things I would change. 1.The hotel is too hot overnight and there is no way to turn all of the radiators off. We cooled down by opening the balcony door which is not very environmentally friendly. We did ask staff to help us turn radiators off but this didn’t seem to be possible. 2. The evening turn down service was set between 6 and 7- right at the time when we were getting ready to go to dinner. We did say to the housekeeper that we went to dinner at 7 but she wasn’t able to change the time. 3. There is a luxury bathroom with a jacuzzi bath. However we never did discover how to turn it on. There is a separate toilet cubicle but the main part of the bathroom has a completely clear glass wall into the bedroom meaning no privacy when using the bathroom. Can we be the only guests who like privacy when using a bathroom?

Location across from trainstation with frequent shuttle train connections to Zermatt, good Halfboard food, after ski relaxation (Sauna, steamroom, whirlpool and Gym), great comfortable room with view of Kleines Matterhorn, friendly staff, and skis left in Zermatt ski rental shop near the train station so that we never had to carry boots or skis on train. Brilliant holiday, we'll be back.

We would not stay here again. The 1980s revisited... Pros: Big room, great view mountains (not the Matterhorn), close to train station, huge balcony, parking beneath the hotel. Nice sized bathroom. Breakfast was satisfactory. A good starting point for a trip to Zermatt, if you're not going to stay in Zermatt. There are some great walking paths near this hotel. Cons: Ugly...brown...shag...carpeting. Orange furniture. Worn linens, mattresses and pillows. Traffic noise was a problem because we had to open the windows for ventilation during this warm spell. No ice was available for our room. No in-room refrigerator. Service staff was indifferent. If you are driving and going for a quick trip to Zermatt, I recommend parking your car in Tasch and leave your big luggage in the trunk. Take your carry-on and the train to Zermatt and stay for one (maybe two) nights there to see the sights. Then take the return train to Tasch to retrieve your car. I don't recommend staying in Tasch.
