Room was very nice .. just lacked AC like all hotels in Switzerland so was hot even with a small fan and tiny window open. The hotel was very conveniently located and the parking was reasonable (15 chf per night) in a lot nearby. Breakfast was good. Staff was friendly and very helpful.

It is a fairly basic room with no special amenities; bring your own shampoo etc. There is a Nespresso machine that is greatly appreciated. Also the restaurant is quite good and the staff very efficient. Many restaurant, cafés, and pubs closely located on food.

Im Zimmer konnte nur ein Mini Flügel geöffnet werden. Das Frühstück findet leider nicht auf der Terasse statt. Ein separater Raum für die Fahrräder wäre in dem Preisniveau schon wünschenswert. Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr gut.

Leider warm

Leider war unser Aufenthalt nicht sehr angenehm. Das Zimmer war sehr warm, da es keine Klimaanlage gab. Dadurch war das Schlafen schwierig und wenig erholsam. Insgesamt empfanden wir den Komfort als unzureichend.

Das einzige, was ich persönlich schade finde, sind die Kosmetikprodukte auf den Zimmern. Diese entwerten das Ambiente und wirken billig und sind zudem aufgrund der Inhaltsstoffe bedenklich. Ansonsten gefiel uns das Hotel sehr gut.
