"Everything about it was bad. It was not clean. The toilet didn’t work properly. The good thing I can say it’s in a great area and for the price if you don’t mind to stay in a crappy little place for sleeping it’s perfect. I guess I could say that much stuff wasn’t very nice. The lady at the front not friendly at all not helpful at all didn’t want to be working. It seemed like to me."
"The staff were very welcoming and the hotel is well located. The room was clean and well serviced.
The main problems were controlling the room temperature ( too hot even with all heaters off). The breakfast was very underwhelming and needs to be brought up to the level of similar hotels where we have stayed in recent weeks. Greater variety required."
"A bit of a hike up some steep hills from the train but I made it. Wast walk into town for restaurants etc. great breakfast but a bit pricey at 25 CHF"
