The hotel is conveniently located right on the main square of the small town, allowing easy access to all the attractions. The staff at this hotel are incredibly friendly and provide excellent service. The rooms are basic yet spacious and tastefully decorated, offering good value for money. I particularly appreciated the small fan in the room, which helped keep me cool during the Swiss heat wave. Moreover, the breakfast included some incredibly delicious bread that was a delightful start to the day.

All was great, nothing to complain about.

Centrally located in the picturesque old town, close to the train station, with stunning mountain views. Single room was surprisingly spacious, perfect for yoga. Friendly staff, fluent English speaking receptionist, provided helpful travel information. Quirky contemporary decor added fun to the stay. Good food and service in the restaurant.

Our romantic escape was made even more special by the clean and comfortable room offered at this hotel. Local produce at breakfast was a great start to our day, and we enjoyed the central location, making it easy to explore the town and enjoy great meals at nearby restaurants. The attentive staff added to our positive experience by making us feel welcome.

The church bells chimed every 15 minutes and this could be disruptive for some guests. The lift was out of service a few times during our stay, but we saw this as an opportunity to get our steps in.
