Good proximity to the lifts and the ski bus stop is right across the road with a 5 minute trip to the Laax resort base. The hostel staff are very helpful but are also happy for you to do your own thing. A nice, bright breakfast room with adequate breakfast of bread, cereal and fruit but I would have killed... More

LAAX markets itself as the new home for snowboarders and Guschti certainly knows how to make you feel at home in his wonderful hostel. Not only is the Capricorn about a 10 minute walk from the main lifts up the mountain (and restaurants and bars), it is close to a COOP garage where you can buy those all important supplies... More

I stayed in Capricorn with some friends for a short skiing break in Jan 2012. The hostel was a wonderful family run, cosy feel to it, and serves up a great breakfast every morning. It's in a good location, a short walk from the uber modern Laax resort, and far enough away not to be woken up by loud music... More

Regarding the Hotel Capricorn (stayed 26-Mar-2010 – 8-Apr-2010): • The Capricorn’s owner, Gusti, probably should have never chosen an occupation in the hospitality business, as he almost has no feel for guest relations. He’s quite strict, but if you’re polite and not argumentative, you may get what you ask for. • Note that the Capricorn is not an actual hotel:... More

We had been there for 2 nights in a double bed room. last night another friend joined us and it was no problem to get a mattress with bedding and bath towels. The hotelier "Guschti" was very cool and kind all the time. There's a room for the ski equipment and small pub to have a beer (or two...) in... More

We were worried about booking at this hotel after the reviews we read. But we were pleasantly suprised at how great it was. Our room was big, and clean with a lovely balcony. The Breakfast was alright, but all you need when your main aim is to get out onto the slopes early. The bar downstairs is funky and the... More

A couple of years ago some friends gave me the advise to go to hotel Capricorn in Laax, because they had very good experiences there. So we took they're advise and booked. When we arrived we were really surprised about the good location and how close the hotel is to the ski lifts; in other places we mostly had to... More

This is a serious warning to avoid this hotel. The owner of this establishment displayed an alarming agressive side by bursting into rooms minutes after checkout and swearing at us to get the f*&k out as we were over the 10am check out time. This is after we had agreed to pay for an extra night with the reception for... More

My group of friends regularly snowboard around this region and decided to stay in the Capricon for a weekend. However, are experience was utterly terrible. I have never met such a rude and unsympathetic host. My friend broke her arm on a run down to Filims and was still trying to pack her things at 10am check out time. The... More
