My stay at Hotel Capricorn in Zermatt was nearly perfect. The cozy rooms were clean and well-appointed, and the breakfast offered a fantastic variety. The only downside was the hill leading to the hotel could be a bit steep at times, especially with luggage.

My stay at Hotel Capricorn was quite pleasant, featuring a stunning view of the Matterhorn from my room. The location was perfect, away from the hustle but still close enough to enjoy the town. However, I did have some issues with inconsistent heating in my room, which affected my comfort during the night.

I loved the spacious layout of my Junior Suite, especially the loft area that was perfect for my teens. The room was updated and very clean, though the bed arrangement was a bit odd with a wooden beam in the middle.

The reception staff were friendly and helpful, making the check-in process smooth. However, I did face some inconvenience with the check-in time; I arrived at 3 PM, expecting my room to be ready, but had to wait briefly.
Location

The hotel's location was ideal-just a short walk to the busy town center while being nestled in a quieter area. It's important to note the walking route from the train station is a bit tricky, so I would recommend taking a taxi if you have heavy luggage.

Breakfast was quite satisfactory with a variety of fresh options. It was convenient to grab a quick bite before heading out, although I wish they had more options replenished even as breakfast was nearing its end.

My stay at Hotel Capricorn was a mixed experience. While I enjoyed the stunning views from my room and the cleanliness of the hotel, I was disappointed by the location's steep slope, which made it challenging to navigate, especially with luggage. The service from one receptionist lacked warmth, leaving me feeling unwelcomed upon arrival. Overall, while there were positives, there were definitely some areas needing improvement.
Rooms
6.0
The room I stayed in had a great view, though it did have some unexpected issues like a loud humming noise from outside. The decor was lovely, and I appreciated the spaciousness, but the bed was not as described, being two single beds pushed together instead of a queen. Overall, I found the room clean but not entirely up to expectations.
Service
5.0
Unfortunately, part of my experience was marred by a lack of friendliness from one staff member during check-in. She completely ignored us and didn't greet me as I arrived. Although other staff were friendly, this incident stood out negatively.
Location

The location of the hotel is quite convenient, but the steep slope from the station made accessing it a challenge, especially with luggage. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from the railway station, which kept it quieter compared to downtown Zermatt.

I was impressed by the breakfast options. There was a nice variety of hot and cold items, and the local cheeses were a highlight. It made the mornings enjoyable, but I did not eat any other meals at the hotel.

The hotel has a good range of facilities, and I appreciated the coffee machine available in the lobby 24/7. However, I encountered a buzzing sound from a cupboard outside my room, which was a bit annoying during my stay.

The view of the Matterhorn was absolutely amazing, and the room itself was spacious and clean, but I had a tough time getting there from the train station due to steep slopes. The staff was friendly, but my check-in experience was a bit rough with a rude receptionist. Overall, I left with mixed feelings about the place.
