I stayed at the Zhero Hotel for 20 days on a long ski vacation with my 16-year old son. The hotel is nice and with great facilities. The staff was always smiling and attentive. The breakfast had everything you would expect, and more. Service always great. Dinner was sophisticated. Menus were elaborate 5 course, where one could appreciate an effort to provide something special. Sometimes dinner felt too long, but overall it was great. Many great ski centers are nearby.

This was by far one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in. Besides the beautiful modern interior design, what stands out most is their excellent customer service. Their staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Catering to our needs was of their utmost priority and they wanted nothing more than for us to enjoy our stay. Hotel Zhero also provides a wide range of services that will definitely give you a heightened sense of luxury and comfort. I would absolutely recommend staying at Hotel Zhero and I’m very much looking forward to my next stay here 👍👍

White Christmas!

First time staying at this hotel. Went during Christmas break. Could not be happier! Very romantic,Great location and people, easily accessible by rental car and not in the snowy hills, nice and private, and not as crowded. So many gifts and care it felt very warming. Attention to detail was superb, hand written personalized card welcoming us. Everyone was wonderful and so very kind. English spoken is fluently. Concierge service was fantastic, super helpful, helped book Ski trips and rental equipment, gave wonderful directions to the ski location in Kappl. Rooms were fantastic, and clean. Views were amazing, most rooms have balconies. There is a private shuttle taxi that takes you anywhere you want to go (Kappl or Ischgl) just call, pickup and drop off was fast and efficient, so you never have to drive or worry about parking. Parking charges are beyond fair, breakfast was excellent, dining services was very nice, had delicious 5 course Christmas dinner. There is nothing else that can be improved, everything was above and beyond!

4 night stay at Zhero, Kappl.

Just returned from a fantastic 4 night stay at the Zhero Hotel in Kappl. It's both an incredibly indulgent and chic hotel, but balances this with a really welcoming and friendly service. All the staff - Maria, Camilla, Dan, Viktor, Annet, Thomas, Michael were super professional, courteous and fun - whether helping us book the perfect place for dinner, mixing great cocktails, or endlessly taking us back and forth to the slopes or nightlife of Ischgl. They were superb.

Trendy hotel near the slopes

Very nice hotel close to ischghl ski area. Friendly staff, lovely rooms, great spa area as well as the bar and restaurant. Free shuttle to and from the town on your schedule was a big plus. Would certainly recommend this hotel for a modern touch to a chalet. Cons: Said there was free parking - there wasn't, had to paid 15euros a day. Wouldn't have been annoyed had they been upfront and said that parking wasn't free. Ate the breakfast in the restaurant and had drinks at the bar, we gave tips on the bill but when we checked out l, they added an additional 10% for food and 20% for drinks so double service. I'm not sure whether this was an honest mistake or a scam but we paid in advance for the room for the entire duration. At check in, was told that "you only paid for half your stay". I quickly corrected that false statement. Fantastic spa area, really well done but no hot tub, in my opinion the one thing that really is nice after skiing. You can rent skis in house. We rented at the slopes because the shop was closed when we tried to rent. The choice of rental in ischgal was better and more convenient as you didn't have to walk around in ski boots. Overall it was a nice hotel and certainly better priced and more modern looking than the hotels nearby.
