Definitely no false advertising here; La Petit is petit, but it works.
Pros:
-it was open! (month of May all of Zermatt is closed for construction, FYI)
-roof terrace with beautiful view of the Matterhorn and surrounding area
-friendly staff
-modern bathroom (Room 220)
-excellent value for the area
Cons:
-pillow, not much to it; head basically went right through it
-hillside construction; not hotel's fault
-uphill (but hey, you're in Switzerland, bring good shoes!)
Neither a Pro nor Con but worth mentioning:
-decent European continental breakfast (meats, cheeses, boiled eggs, breads, cereals, etc)
-a very le petit elevator, so might take multiple trips is you have lots of luggage, otherwise you have to carry bags up winding stair case.
Room Tip: Room 220 nice modern bathroom, but tight shower with no shelf for shampoo, soap etc. read more
