We booked into the "view of matterhorn" double room and it was great! The view was fantastic and the room was very clean, typically swiss sloped, with skylights over the room and bathroom. The only thing that we thought could have been improved was the twin beds joined together. It wasnt too comfortable to squeeze into one bed.
When we arrived at zermatt, there was a hotel transport for us. The people at the hotel were just great, friendly and very helpful. The hotel is in a good location, pretty much a walking distance to any part of the town, railstation and cable cars. Breakfast was typically continental mainly cold cuts. Try the table with the view.
I strongly recommend this hotel for its location, good rooms with a fantastic view, great staff and value for money.
ps. the photos that you see on this website and the ones from the hotel is exactly what you get!

My husband and I stayed at Hotel La Couronne in October/ 2007. We loved everything. The staff was very helpful and receptive. Our bedroom was in the 4th floor and the view from the balcony was awesome. We could see the Matterhorn just in front of us. The bedroom was very good, king size bed, plasma TV and the bathroom had a bathtub. The breakfast was great. The hotel has a great location, near the train station and also near the main cableway station. We recommend this fabulous hotel.

Our room was on second top floor and in typical Swiss style, the roof of the hotel was quite sloping which made the interior of our end room a little awkward. Bedding consisted of two king singles pushed together to make one large bed - quite comfortable though. The bathroom was sparse, with an old-fashioned shower curtain.
On the plus side, our balcony opened up to a magnificent view of the Matterhorn. The breakfast room also had a beautiful view of the Matterhorn, but the food was quite limited.
The hotel was situated 10 minutes walk from the station (a very pleasant walk) or you can opt for an electric taxi, as there are no motorised vehicles in Zermatt - a truly beautiful little town.
You should also include the Gornegrat rack railway trip up to the Matterhorn. The station for this is situated in the main square.

Stayed here again for 4 nights mid sept and once again enjoyed the nice clean property with fine matterhorn view... ..

couronne continues to offer a very fine breakfast buffet that includes fresh fruit salad hot hardboiled eggs and really excellent assortment of good quality breads and rolls-

the glassed in breakfast room with a full on view of the matterhorn adds to the great ambiance

they have mastered the art of customer service as this is one of the few hotels where the serving folks come to your table and ask if you have enough coffee etc

a pleasure to lhave left steamy miami for some sunny dry days in the alps
