Room was decent, and staff was nice. Area is right in the heart of the old town. Walkable to historical attractions, churches, cathedrals, museums, shopping areas, restaurants, Christmas markets, etc.
what a truly strange hotel. It sits on top of what looks to ne an excellent steak house yet you enter through an ummarked door in the back alley. There is no lobby, you sit at an empty table in the restaurant and fill out your registration then are hurried back into the dingy service area to an unmarked elevator and your room.
The room itself isnt bad, though negotiating large suitcases requires some finesse. Our room was on the front corner so had lovely views of the small piazza outside. the bathroom was quite small bit clean- toiletries had to ne put on a window ledge on the bedroom.
We were there for more than one night it may have annoyed me more; as it was I chalk it up to yet another quirky stay

Nice staff, spartan room, in the heart of old town.
The room was clean and the breakfast good. Staff were helpful. The main shortcoming was that the hotel played canned music at breakfast - I prefer quiet. They also did this in the evening (when it is a steakhouse), although we could have gone elsewhere to eat then. Also there is a public clock somewhere near which chimes the quarter hour and is not switched off at night. (Not the hotel's fault nor the fact of our not knowing that Swiss electric sockets are different from other European ones.)

The issue is that it this was NOT a hotel .
It is a few decent rooms above a steakhouse. There was no reception or lobby or night staff. Ideally i would like a refund, as this was advertised as a hotel but was just rooms above a restaurant.
Unusual in that you check-in with restaurant staff. Had to duck to enter the shower. Otherwise no complaints. Staff kindly loaned me a plug adapter (Switzerland is different from Germany which I didn't realize).
The room was small but roomy enough for one person. I could not find a way to regulate the air temperature from the mini-split so I had to open the windows to get some cooler air.
Breakfast was quite nice with excellent coffee and eggs, bread, and yoghurt.
Great location. You had to enter the restaurant to check in and to enter after that, we had to go through a back alley. Breakfast was included, it was fine. Beds were not comfortable. But location made it worth it.

Good location in Old Town.
Had paid for B&B- told at check in that breakfast finished at 10.30am arrived down at 10am and was told breakfast ended at 10am.
Food was still laid out but we were not allowed to eat.
