Review summary
Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the Alpen Resort & Spa for its convenient location, especially its proximity to the train station and the Gornergrat railway. Many highlight the spacious and comfortable rooms, some boasting stunning Matterhorn views right from the balcony, and in-room amenities such as coffee makers. The spa area, featuring an indoor pool, sauna, and rooftop whirlpool, is a particular favorite for relaxation, although some guests have noted that they would have liked an overhead shower in the bathroom. A free shuttle service to the train station is also frequently mentioned as a valuable perk.

The hotel breakfast did not impress me. The options seemed very limited and some items were often out of stock and I had to wait for long time for replacements. the room service was quite slow. One evening I waited over an hour for a simple order of a sandwich. The slow service was frustrating after a tiring day.

frosty reception annoyed staff
the location was decent enough. it was a five-minute walk from the train station, so that's manageable, i guess.
the staff seemed determined to ruin my stay. i got a frosty reception from the shuttle driver. at check-in, i was essentially told to come back later at 3pm. the room was freezing, and when i called about it, the guy who came to 'fix' it seemed annoyed and argued that everything was 'automatic'. he found the balcony door ajar, rolled his eyes, and said it was 'impossible' that we hadn't opened it. such a charmer.
