Review summary

Guests consistently praise the Rex for its beautiful aesthetic, convenient location near the main street and train station, and the Matterhorn views from many rooms. The on-site bakery is a particular highlight, filling the air with delightful aromas and providing fresh treats for the exceptional breakfast, which includes both a buffet and made-to-order dishes. The spacious spa area, complete with saunas, a hot tub, and a pool, is another popular amenity; however, some guests have found the shower temperature a little difficult to adjust.
