Perfect location. Staff members Augi, Ilenia and Stephonia could not have been any more friendly and welcoming! Definitely made us feel that we were part of their family. We would return in a heart-beat. The rooms were nice, comfortable & charming. Five stars! Jeff & Zac (USA)

Very good location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Nice little coffee bar downstairs. Breakfast choices are limited and the room was very small. Hotel is clean and modern though and for a one night stay it was fine for our needs.

Would not recommend
The room was way too small for a family of 4. Cramped like sardines in a tin can. The elevator stopped working on our check-out day and my family and I had to carry our suitcases down 4 flights of steps.

We had an excellent stay for my family of 4. Great location in Old Town right by the river and in close proximity to restaurants. The mattresses for the beds set up for my children were a little too firm but that was the only improvement - we were happy that they had their own beds here as most hotels we are staying at only have a sofa bed from them.

We stayed here for just one night before leaving Switzerland - it was a lovely room on a relatively quiet side street, near many walkable sights and good restaurants.

Short stay
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Beds were very comfortable. The street outside can be a bit noisy as everything echos, but it was quiet after about 11 pm. Nice breakfast and great location!
