I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Pollux. Its central location in Zermatt made exploring the surrounding area easy, and the breakfast was a good highlight with a varied selection. However, the Wi-Fi was slow during my stay, which was a bit of a letdown, especially given the premium rate. Also, my room was quite warm, and while I could open the windows for fresh air, it meant dealing with some street noise at night. 😊
