Davos
8.4 out of 10, Very good, (55 reviews)
"This hotel is really basic. The shower and beds weren't particularly good. The location, despite having a great view, is a little out of reach as it's up on a hill which made walking there with a wheeled bag rather difficult. The breakfast was really basic, with no gluten or lactose free options. As a result I think the hotel is overpriced."

10/10 Excellent

5/5 - Best "jail break" ever! Absolutely loved our stay at Bogentrakt Hostel. Sleeping in a former prison cell with original heavy doors was such a unique concept, but the hostel itself is modern, bright, incredibly clean, and cozy. Perfect location in Old Town Chur, super close to the station, and the staff were wonderful. Would definitely stay here again!
