Guests consistently praise the Rex's beautiful aesthetic and convenient location, just a short walk from the main street and train station. Many highlight the spacious rooms, some offering stunning Matterhorn views right from the terrace. The on-site bakery is a major draw, with fresh bread and pastries being a highlight of the delicious breakfast, though some guests have mentioned difficulty adjusting the shower temperature.
