Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers reasonably priced accommodation in Switzerland. Rooms are outdated but can be better on higher floors with many windows. The service was a mix of experiences, with some friendly staff and others lacking courtesy. The location is great for a visit, being close to the old city and within walking distance of the railway station. Dining options were limited, and improvement could enhance the overall experience.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were quite spacious with big windows, which I appreciated since I enjoy natural light, but they felt very outdated. The service was a bit inconsistent, with staff constantly on their phones and smoking, although some were nice. The location was convenient for car access and close to the old city, but a bit noisy. The dining options were limited, but I found the regional bread I chose satisfying. The facilities were basic, but I was pleased with the pet amenities available.
The hotel is perfect for Indian Travellers and small groups, with rooms starting to look shabby but clean. The service was very nice, and the location was handy but noisy. The dining options were ok but could be improved. The facilities were satisfactory, offering a decent level of comfort.
The hotel's rooms were satisfactory, with a hint of shabbiness and occasional odors of Indian spices. The absence of a refrigerator was a slight inconvenience. On the upside, the service was kind and attentive, offering a very good breakfast experience at the hotel restaurant. The location was convenient, within walking distance of the railway station and adjacent to the city center. The dining options were decent but not exceptional, and there is room for improvement. Overall, the facilities provided were adequate for a comfortable stay.
My stay at the hotel exceeded my expectations with reasonably priced rooms in Switzerland. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, offering great value for the price. However, there was a noticeable smell mixture of mould, cockroach, and curry that was a slight drawback.
The hotel had its highs and lows. On one hand, the location was fantastic, close to the railway station, and perfect for my visit. On the other hand, the rooms were starting to look shabby, with a lingering smell that was a mix of mould, cockroach, and curry. The staff's behavior was a hit or miss, with friendly service but some incidents of unwanted intrusion and loud phone conversations. The dining options were limited, and the overall price did not quite match the experience.
The hotel had rooms that were of the required standard, although they were starting to look shabby. The service was kind, with very good breakfast at the hotel restaurant, but I was asked to pay unexpectedly. The location was handy but noisy, and the dining experience was just okay, not justifying the overall price. The facilities were satisfactory, but not outstanding.
The hotel is in a convenient location close to the train station and Lake frontages, great for my visit. The rooms exceeded my expectations, especially on a higher floor with many windows, at an honest price. However, the dining options were limited despite being okay for a 3-star hotel.
The hotel is ideal for Indian Travellers and small groups. The rooms, although small and very hot, were very clean. The service, while constantly yelling on her mobile phone, was nice and friendly. The location, accessible by car and close to the old city, was perfect. The dining could be improved with very few options available, though the one I chose was really good. The facilities were basic.
The hotel offers reasonably priced accommodation in Switzerland, making it ideal for Indian travelers and small groups. However, the rooms are very outdated and have a strong smell mixture of mould, cockroach, and curry, which can be a downside.
