Best Hotels near Schloss Park, Brig

Stayed at Hotel Stockalperhof for 4 nights as part of the Classic Glacier Express Tour (Great Rail Journeys). The hotel is generally unmanned after you receive your key, with the exception of the breakfast service. Rooms across 5 floors with even numbered rooms benefiting from a small balcony that looks on to the mountains. Coffee (pod) machine provided but only 2 pods and after this you have to pay for your own (Coop is 100m away) so you end up eating and drinking out a lot of the time. The bathroom suffers from the shower head being positioned too low to be of any use, with a hose that is too short in many rooms. This does need looked at by the management. The hotel is very well positioned in Brig with a number of restaurants on the doorstep and only a 350m walk from the train station. I personally would return without a second thought; it is the shower that stops this being a '5' review.

We were taking the Glacier Express from Chur to Zermatt but the hotels in Zermatt were very expensive so we looked into Brig to stay the night and visit in the day. This hotel was not only very charming and clean (a plus during the pandemic) it had good internet and cable service. The views were lovely and the overall atmosphere was great. We were greeted downstairs with a delicious breakfast that was local cheeses and meats along with breads, jams and butters, coffee from a Nescafé machine (which was surprisingly good) and some yogurt and overnight oats. The man at the front desk was possible the nicest person we met on our entire vacation and was very considerate in letting us leave out bags in the hotel while we left to Zermatt and came back to get them. Overall recommend this hotel for anyone that comes to it. The only downside to the hotel would be the walk from the station but as long as your willing to walk about 8 minutes through the nice town you’ll be greeted by an amazing hotel!

The breakfast is average, you can eat enough, starting at 7 o'clock. If there is parking, give you a free parking ticket. Not far from the railway station. If the suitcase is big, it's a bit tiring. Other good

This is a hotel next to Niglous station. Get off the bus it takes 3 minutes to get there. People here are really very friendly. As soon as we got off the train, there was a bus driver who took the initiative to stop and tell us the direction of the hotel. Since we went back very late, the self-check-in was not smooth. The bar uncle and the customers inside the hotel enthusiastically helped us find a way. Give us a lot of warmth. The windows of this room are very large and can be opened all of them. Extremely quiet and the perfect choice. The breakfast is also very good. This place is three stops from Zermatt and takes about half an hour by car. We will come again.

If this hotel were a bit more expensive, I wouldn't rate it with more than four points, but as the pricing is so reasonable for Swiss standards, I think the value for money merits another point. It *is* old - the building as well as the furnishings and appliances. I noticed that on the hairdryer in the bathroom, it said ”Made in W. Germany” - so before Germany's reunification, which makes that hairdryer more than 30 years old. But it worked well and was clean, and this is typical for the whole hotel: Everything is kept in good working order and I hadn't any issues with anything. Some furnishings are visibly worn, but never dirty. My room was well appointed. Particularly, I think i counted about seven power outlets (!) in the room alone (including multiple sockets), and additional ones (for the hairdryer and a shaver outlet) in the bathroom, so you will always have enough to charge your devices etc. The room rate included (continental) breakfast which was decent enough - including boiled eggs, muesli, various kinds of bread, a small selection of cheese, juices, and a good coffee machine. There is a room safe, though it is tiny - just large enough for a wallet, some keys or the like. I think the hotel could improve quite a bit if some small things which can't be very costly were replaced - such as installing larger room safes, or new shower heads (the shower was fine, hot and strong, but the shower head was a tiny plastic thing). If your room faces the railway station, there might be some noise, though the railway in fron of the hotel is not the main line with freight trains, just the small MGB local passenger trains (and Glacier Express) which aren't very noisy. As a railway fan, I even liked it to have bit (not very loud) of the announcements in the background, and it's quiet later in the night. I would definitely stay there again.
