It was spacious, conveniently located, and had many amenities. It was very clean and well-maintained. The beds were comfortable. It was easy and fast to communicate with the landlord. We were able to leave our bags early before check-in as well as store them longer after check-out. I would definitely stay again and also recommend it to others.

The services were even better than I had imagined: everything was very clean, very efficient and I was provided with all the things that I needed. The location was ideal, some minutes away walking distance from the cental train station as well as from a public transport stop for the city center. The staff was extremely polite with me and amazingly helpful to all the requests of mine. I would totally recommend it and stay there again!

This was a very clean, decent hotel and for a pretty good price by Swiss standards. The room was spotless and the bathroom seemed newly renovated with a powerful, warm shower. The location was a 15min walk from old town and around 25 from the sbb which was fine for me but there are trams nearby if you don't fancy it.
