Personnel agréable, particulièrement les dames au petit déjeuner. Petite chambre, mais cela est indiqué sur le site. Il n’y a pas de piscine ni de gym à l’hotel. Il faut aller aux installations de la ville qui sont situés plus loin.

Didn’t let us check in an hour early so we waited in the lobby. Booked 2 rooms for 6 person. Room was too tight and small, can’t even open a large suitcase unless you put it on your bed. Breakfast is good. No kettle, no hairdryer (you have to borrow one from the other ibis). No fridge, microwave is downstairs. Bus stop is not too far. Not much restaurant around the area. There’s a grocery store which is probably 10 minutes walk.

For two the room was a good size, the shower was spacious and the beds were comfortable. Staff were all really friendly. The continental breakfast was lovely, a good selection of pastries, meats, cheese and cereals. The coffee was decent too. Disappointed on our last morning we were told breakfast opens at 06:15, we waiting to 06:30 and still not open and unfortunately we had to leave for our flight. There are no immediate amenities in the area if you are going to be out of the hotel all day. Everything was shut by the time we arrived back in the evenings. It’s a shame as the hotel was really lovely!

Great quality budget hotel and within walking distance of the Ice Hockey arena (5 minutes!). Shared facilities between the Ibis Budget and its sister hotel next door. Staff were friendly, polite and very helpful. Pros: Great location for the ice hockey and local transport link via the number 1 bus every 15 minutes for 3 CHF. Rooms clean and tidy - bedding fresh and comfortable Very friendly staff and happy to speak in English Great bar service in the Ibis next door Cons: Limited facilities in the room (but it is budget for a reason!) No hair dryer, iron, tea/coffee station, shower gel Vending machines very limited no snacks or drinks in the budget hotel and no vending machine in the Ibis next door although they do have a fridge with takeaway drinks

Disappointing Experience with Unhelpful Staff

recently stayed at this hotel and had a very disappointing experience. We had booked a room with three separate single beds, but upon arrival, we were given one double bed and one single bed. When I approached the hotel staff about this issue, the employee informed me that the confirmation we received was automatic. We all know that the message was not automatic, as there’s no way an AI can say, “Good afternoon. We will assign you a room with 3 single beds.” I understand that mistakes can happen, but the employee lying to us was the problem. Instead of trying to resolve the issue, they were dismissive and unhelpful. They even mentioned that they couldn’t remove clients from their rooms, which was not what we were asking for. This kind of response is not what I expect from a hotel. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves their customer service.
