Paring, still have to use stairs with luggage when you park. My morning staff person (Vincent ? 04/25/26; hope that's your name) was absolutely amazing

Great location. Breakfast is overpriced for the limited choices (especially no warm food except eggs). Room is clean but the shower room is way too small. Can’t even bend down freely. Descent for a short stay cos of the location.

Petit hôtel placé en face des gares (FART et CFF), hyper pratique pour le Festival Moon&Stars qui a lieu a quelques pas. Air conditionné dans la chambre, facile à gérer et à éteindre. Un peu bruyant, mais très efficace. Joli petit-déjeuner, sucré et salé. Personnel vraiment sympatique et aidant. Pour info : salle d'eau fermée par une porte, mais pas de cloison au-dessus. Aucune intimité.
