Great spot for stadium and city access

I regret that I did not have a chance to try out the restaurant, and the in-room capsule coffeemaker was not a success, but the internet connection was good, the room was quiet, and the hotel itself was in an excellent location, especially for St. Jakob Stadium. Check-in and check out were very quick, and I paid extra for a balcony, which was well worth the money. It was a great place to relax and have some coffee, and the nice accordion glass doors and windows sealed out the noise at night. Nearby grocery stores, cafes, a bakery, a handy mini-mart, and easy access to trams downtown. I walked to the stadium in 20 minutes along the little river. I travel with a dog, and we were glad there was a lift in the building. There is a fee of 15 CHF per night for a dog, which I think is a bit steep, but I understand that we are all paying for all the dogs that may or may not be well behaved in hotels.

No air conditioning and no screens on the windows when we opened them up to cool down lots of flies got in the room. The safe didn't work and we had to get it reset just to stop beeping, the keys stopped working each day. We attempted to get a refund to switch hotels after the first night but they were not amenable.

Overall a very nice hotel - ideal as walking distance to the tennis. Pros : The rooms are decorated in a business style, great English TV channels (which is rare), warm duvets, safes that work & staff are helpful, good euro b'fast so some real pros with trams,Trattoria & coffee shops nearby. Cons: Pillows look great but are pretty useless, bathrooms need an upgrade, as the hotel no longer offers dinner a small fridge should be installed in each room - cheap to run & would be ideal for water/ snacks etc.. should offer luggage store after checkout. Overall really happy with stay but if the cons were reduced it would get 5 stars !

It is conveniently located. The room was clean, neat, and comfortable. The staff was kind and helpful. The price was excellent. I would have preferred a little more variety in the breakfast offerings, which were satisfactory. Also, the towels were not of good quality. For the price, it was an excellent choice, and I would go there again.
