This hotel is very convenient. You exit tge train and walk to the hotel on platform one. Our room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the view of the lake and city from the terrace and were the only ones there.!! Breakfast is not included and cost Fr.18 ($22) We chose to walk to the Migro supermarket about 8 minutes down near the lake to get our yogurt and fruit instead. The staff were very friendly and helpful from the minute of our arrival.

This hotel is conveniently located near the train station, making it ideal for train travelers. It feels like new construction and is quite clean. It has an easy walk to the lake and restaurants located along it.

Hotel is in a great position at the end of railway platform. We had a very friendly welcome. Room had everything we needed but was a little sparce, fresh coat of paint and a clean lampshade would have made a big difference. We did appreciate the balcony and the the price was reasonable for the area

We loved the fact that Freddie pictures were everywhere. Loved the plates and mugs and glasses with the Freddie pose. The breakfast was good and they had gluten free options for me. The bed was comfortable. The staff were lovely. My sister sent us flowers for our 50th wedding anniversary and she had to chase them up. My daughter sent loads of emails asking the staff to put fruit in our room. She never got a reply, but we appreciated that it was a training hotel and absolutely loved all the Freddie stuff. We will visit again.
