She's not posh but you'll have a wonderful Swiss guesthouse experience in a quaint village. Breakfast was spectacular with many choices and delicious coffees. Easy train and bus connections to all the local towns and villages. Looking forward to a return visit.

We loved our stay at the Historic Hotel Steinbock. We booked a room with a river view for two nights which was great. The room was decorated nicely and had everything you would need during your stay. The included breakfast each morning was very good with a large variety of items to pick from. The contactless check in was a plus. There are restaurants and a market nearby that are walkable from the hotel also. The location is great for day trips to various areas of interest. There is also parking available for hotel guests right outside the hotel which was convenient. Highly recommend a stay at this hotel.

Going in we knew it was a historic building but the room was dark and minimal compared to other similar facilities we have stayed at. No one was at the desk to check us in, we had to call on phone at desk to pay for parking before getting code to lock box for key to room. There was no mention of a code to get back in the building in the evening. Breakfast was the standard continental breakfast. Beautiful area with an old church and covered bridge.
