Tasch Homestays

It was okay, because it was cheap, so I didn’t expect too much. The location is just a minute's walk from the train station, which is very convenient. What is very surprising is that the TV is extremely rich in content. There are many Zermatt documentaries to watch, and you can also watch the weather forecast.

The hotel is on the edge of the train station. There are three rooms, which are reasonably priced. There is a coop supermarket next to it. There is also a fast food restaurant opposite the hotel. It is open late, has many types, tastes good, and has a large amount. Our mother and daughter order one. Very full. To the town of Zermatt, you need to take a shuttle train, you can use the Swiss Pass, the train is a few minutes away, the running time is very short, and there are cars late at night, with beautiful scenery along the way. The hotel has a complimentary breakfast, which is very tasty and can be eaten more satisfactorily.

Fantastic location right next to the train station and very large modern room which very spacious and comfortable. Couch, armchair and table, large modern bathroom with large bath and underfloor heating, loads of storage space for clothes and cases, and a large balcony overlooking the mountains. Cannot hear trains with doors to balcony closed so a great night’s sleep. Breakfast was also very good. The bistro wasn’t open during our stay but there are plenty of options in Tasch and Zermatt and two lovely little local supermarkets across the road stocking all the main items.

We came to Täsch, one station before Zermatt. Heard a lot abt this location and chose Hotel Elite, just walking distance from the station.

The horrible things started with they asking 1 Euro for 1 franc. Isn’t that cheating.

Then comes the time when we come up for breakfast and what an amazing spread. By amazing, I mean, horrible spread and most uncourteous staff. 

We were 11 of us and hunting for something in breakfast and asked for omelettes for 6 of us as all had not come down for breakfast by then.When the other 3 joined us and we asked for omelette, the person said “first finish the earlier omelettes and then I would give more.” 

Did they want 9 people to eat from 6 omelettes. Don’t we have a right to ask for one omelette each. The food timings are till 9.30am only. So, we didn’t have an option to wait beyond 9.30am as we knew the order won’t be taken later (looking at the courtesy being offered since the time we entered the hotel).
 When we asked for tea and tea bag, he rudely replied and took away the tea maker. This is a very insolent and impolite behaviour. And the final blow to us was no hot water for bath in a temperature of 11 degrees. 
I did give them a piece of my mind and informed them that whether it’s a 3 star or 5 star, we have to be courteous and the owner shud own up the responsibility for the wrong doings and rude behaviour of their staff, but in vain.

This is very unbecoming of a hotel which is one of the most pleasant towns in Switzerland.

I would never recommend this hotel to anyone who visits this beautiful town of Täsch.
