Liked: Staff & service
I cannot see how this hotel is a 4-Star property. The rooms weren’t well-equipped & even had locks in the bathroom if you wanted toiletries. No tea/coffee in room … they provided a kettle on request for tea only. Room itself was dusty & needed renovation. The light was hanging from a loose ceiling rose & the bath taps weren’t secured to tiles on wall. The breakfast was included as free, but was very basic (unlike the photos). When I got fed up with the lukewarm filter coffee & asked for expresso, I was charged 5CHF for a lukewarm drink. The only plus point was the location and the lady on reception who was very helpful & a credit to the hotel. Finally, looking at the reviews, I can’t believe they’re all excellent … has the hotel changed hands in last 6 months?

Perfect hotel

Great little hotel. All the staff was super nice. Room was bigger then expected for a European hotel. We wished we would have gotten the breakfast deal, next time. A big plus I was the free bus-tram passes. I would definitely stay here again.
