Hotel Victoria

This property is old but in a good condition. It is located just beside the Brig station. Area surrounding this property Friendly staffs.

Very convenient for the railway station as it is directly across the road. This is an older hotel with older furnishings and a positively antique elevator. The hotel seems to have many English guests and, perhaps as a result, my room had a kettle which is not common in Swiss hotels. My room was larger than many rooms in Swiss hotels but, although described on the website as having a "bath" it had a shower with not bath tub and a shower curtain which clung to me while I took a shower. The breakfast didn't have as many choices as some other Swiss hotels. The wifi, hot water and comfort of the bed were fine.

We were allocated a room in the old part of the hotel which was old fashioned & tired but clean. The beds were comfortable & we requested extra pillows which we received. Tea/coffee making facilities, 1 socket at dresser & more sockets under the bed side lockers, tiny inroom safe which was lockable with a key, told you it was old fashioned, flatscreen tv. Wifi initially poor but did improve. No air con but a fan was available. Ample hanging & shelving space. Soap bar at basin & soap dispenser in the shower which was surrounded by a plastic shower curtain. Decent water pressure. Hairdryer. Breakfast consisted of cereal, boiled eggs, various breads & rolls, hams & cheeses, fruit, good coffee machines. Dinner was independent from the hotel. The food was fine. The worst thing was the really sloooooow service with the 3-course meal taking over 2½ hours, not the fault of the 2 hardworking waitresses, please note, more staff required. Staff were friendly & the owner was open to a bit of banter. Tiny slow lift & steps from pavement into hotel make handling luggage difficult, no porterage. Exit hotel right for Post Office, shops & restaurants. Exit hotel left for trains including the Glacier Express. We were on a Riveria group tour consisting of 50 people on a ½ board basis.
