I absolutely loved Hotel Ochsen. The staff were all amazing, super kind and helpful. They really do go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The rooms and facilities were very clean and well kept, cleaned daily with nice shampoos and teas - we loved the mix between old authentic Swiss style and modern. The breakfast was great, fresh and lots of variety. Spa facilities were also fantastic and you can reserve for free so you have a private time allocated. Overall this hotel was perfect, I will be recommending to friends and family too. Thank you/Danke to the lovely staff too.

The hotel looks just renovated. Bathroom products are high quality, I appreciated a lot the refilling idea (instead of one use products). I liked the wood furniture in the room, and the big size bed. Very kind reception staff.

Great hotel in beautiful part of town.

Beautiful hotel in the old part of the city. Very picturesque. The hotel is modern and has great design. The room was so comfortable, very clean with crisp bedding. The decor was minimalistic and modern which I love. Also, the buffet breakfast in the morning was delicious with a great selection.
