Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated right outside the stunning alte city walls, making it an excellent location for exploring the beautiful Swiss town. The rooms, although a bit small, are equipped with ample wardrobe space and a useful desk, albeit suffering from some street noise. The service was extremely kind and helpful, although improvements could be made regarding English proficiency. The dining experience offers a decent variety of food, highlighted by delicious French croissants but lacking hot items like scrambled eggs. Despite the rooms being clean and tidy, they lack the modern touch found elsewhere in the hotel, and the price is within expectations for the category.
The hotel offers basic yet comfortable and clean rooms, ideal for non-smokers like me. The service was helpful, they even stored our bags until our rooms were ready, which was great for us cyclists in need of a secure garage for our mounts. The location, just outside the fort walls and a short walk from the station and town center, needs some modernization but has a convenient proximity to the market. The dining experience was good, especially the French croissants, although it lacked hot items. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory with a few minor improvements needed.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean with a beautiful view, but they got unbearably hot during the night. The continental breakfast provided was standard. The service was helpful, although there was room for improvement in attending to requests promptly and ensuring a restful night for all guests. The location was excellent, right in the center of town with easy access to historical sites. The dining experience was decent, with good options but lacking hot items. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
The hotel is conveniently located in the center of town, offering easy access to the lake and town center. The rooms are clean but basic, providing ample wardrobe space and a comfortable seating area. The service was accommodating, especially for cyclists needing secure garage space. The dining experience was good with a selection of French croissants, although hot items were missing. Overall, it's a suitable choice for those looking for a central location with simple comforts.
The hotel offers spacious, well-located rooms with a modern style, though slightly on the expensive side. They are light and airy but can be noisy. The service was extremely helpful, especially in arranging urgent medical assistance. The central location is convenient, right outside the ancient city walls and close to the lake. The dining experience was excellent, with a diverse selection of food. Overall, the facilities receive high praise despite the price point.
