Better to share a bathroom as a solo traveller

Service great. Location good. Be aware reception is in the adjacent building… and they close at 9pm. Room was a solo room w bathroom…. Old and not in great condition. Not a great outlook and bed uncomfortable. I needed to stay an extra night and could only book a single/solo shared bathroom room… ironically it cost a little more than w a bathroom, but it was so much better. The hotel was fine and fine enough for a single night stay. But book the shared bathroom option of your a solo traveller. That room was on the top floor, had a balcony, better design and better bed! Shared bathroom very clean. Review is for the single room w bathroom.

Alpina urgently needs renovations. Shutters cannot be fixed. Aircon in the bathroom is deafening. Sink in the bathroom stinks moldy. Cupboard stinks sweaty. You can hear everything, what people say in the next room. Booking price of 177 CHF is a joke for what the hotel offers. Do not go there.

You book in at an adjacent hotel. This is also where breakfast is served. Breakfast is continental with no hot option. We found that perfectly adequate. The hotel itself is a little shabby and run down. But it is very clean. The photos of the hotels rooms are certainly not the room we were in which featured floor to ceiling pine cladding and what appeared to be polystyrene ceiling tiles. There is no kettle or tea making facilities. It's all a bit dated. But let's be honest, we were there 2 nights and it was comfortable enough. We found noise from other residents to be intrusive; slamming doors, raucus laughter late at night/early in the morning and whoever had the room above us seemed intent on moving the furniture about at 5am. None of this is the hotels fault. The shower is the most powerful we've ever had. You could pressure wash a car with it. Overall, it was OK for a couple of days but we wouldn't have wanted to stay much longer.

The staff and the service was nice. The location in the English Quarter was as expected and desired, 1 minute from the main commerce area. The all wood room (including the ceiling) was a nice touch, as were the old fashioned windows Unfortunately the small old elevator kept going inoperative when the 3rd floor door wouldn't register as closed, forcing my wife with bad knee and cane to work up stairs multiple times until I figured out the source of the problem. The bathroom was modern but not all was clean. The wardrobe latch was broken, but we didn't use it. This is a very popular tourist town with a wide variety of hotel options. To compete, Hotel Alpina needs to add a few more touches.

Our room on the top floor was really old; the mattress was very thin; bathroom was old and outdated. Room didn’t have a coffee machine and when asked at the front desk: the staff commented that it’s because the hotel is only second class despite paying such a high price
