Good hotel

Good hotel. Breakfast was at a restaurant down the street. You got a little container of yoghurt with granola and fruit and you got to choose a meal, a hot beverage, and a cold beverage. It was very good and filling! The room was very big and clean with a nice balcony. The only downside was that the curtains let in a lot of light in the morning. Across the street is a furnicular that brings you next to a parking garage. If coming with the car, I recommend parking here. Walking from the parking garage to the hotel is ok. But from the hotel to the garage is all uphill so taking the furnicular is recommended if you have luggage.

Disliked: Amenities
Overall, our stay at the hotel was ok, thanks to its central and walkable location. However, we faced some frustrating issues with the electronic door handles, which often didn’t work, leaving us stuck for hours. Fortunately, a staff member eventually provided us with a key fob that worked. I recommend asking for a fob upon check-in to avoid this hassle. Additionally, we were misled about breakfast being free; it came with an extra charge. Despite these challenges, the location made for an enjoyable stay.

Wunderschöne große Zimmer. Leckeres Frühstück. Leider war mir und auch den Angestellten nicht klar, ob man vor dem Hotel zum Be- und Endladen halten darf. Gerade bei längeren Aufenthalten mit Kindern kann das zu einem Problem werden.

Alles in allem hatten wir uns mehr erhofft. Die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig , wir hatten den Blick zu den Mülltonnen des Nachbarrestaurants. Leider zog der Küchengestank ins Zimmer. Durch die Tür des Zimmers schien das Flurlicht des Korridors. Die Lage des Hotels top, auch die Mitarbeiterin sehr freundlich. Es war sehr sauber.
