Hotel is centrally located and has parking right in front of the hotel for free for an hour or there is a parking lot a block away that costs about 4 CHF for a day using the EasyPark app which for some reason was about half the cost of paying at the machine.

Nice average hotel

Nice hotel, in the middle of the town. The last night it was some kind of festival and they had a concert/dj playing until 02 in the morning! No warning or heads up about that. I could not sleep until the party was over. It was so loud, just 500meters away from our bedroom window!!

Das Personal ist ausgesprochen freundlich, das Zimmer sehr sauber und ruhig. Badezimmer ehler klein aber funktional. Das Frühstück einfach genial und das Essen im eigenen Restaurant ebenfalls sehr fein. Der Fernseher (in unserem Zimmer) ist seitlich vom Bett ungünstig platziert. Preis insgesamt eher hoch.

Nie wieder!

Wir hatten zwei Nächte gebucht. Einen Tag vor Reiseantritt wurde ich positiv auf Corona getestet. Umgehend haben wir das Hotel informiert und Sie telefonisch gebeten, uns evt. einen Gutschein auszustellen bzw. das Arrangement zu verschieben. Leider war null Kulanz zu erwarten. Wir mussten die erste Nacht trotzdem bezahlen mit der Info, wir können das Geld ja vom Versicher zurückfordern… Unter Gastlichkeit verstehe ich etwas anders! Lieber eine Nacht abkassieren anstatt das Arrangement zu verschieben und zwei zufriedene Gäste gewinnen. Schade eigentlich, scheinen nicht auf neue Gäste angewiesen zu sein!
