Short Version: Yes, it was nice enough that I would stay there again. Long version: It's right in the middle of the alt section, so great location. The staff was very helpful, and accommodating. This is an old Swiss hotel, so it's dated, but has lots of charm, especially the common areas and the breakfast room.

This is an old hotel with lots of character in the centre of the village. Due to its location, it's super noisy in the summer if you have your windows open. You need to have the windows open because the summers are very hot here. There are rooms with a courtyard view, ask for one of those if the noise bothers you. Unfortunately, when we asked to switch rooms and the night clerk couldn't have been more rude. The clerk we dealt with earlier said that there were lots of rooms available. However, the night clerk didn't want to tend to our needs at all and it was only 7pm. The next morning at breakfast, we were met with the same horrible rude staff in the dining room. However, the staff bent over backwards to any locals that arrived at the restaurant. Overall, this is a basic, clean hotel in a convenient area of the village. The staff need to work on their people skills.

The staff is nice and helpful. The included breakfast was very good. My only complaint was the difficulty checking in at the front door. On Mondays the front desk was closed when we arrived. If I hadn't had a friend who spoke German and was able to obtain the code and assist me with entrance, it would have been very stressful.

Great location but...

The staff were very nice and helpful and the central location makes it very easy to get to and from. However, be aware the hotel is in the center of the old town right next to the bell tower and churches. The bells go off all night so I was unable to leave the windows open at night. That said close the windows and it’s quiet enough but there is no climate control (at least in my room) so in summer that could make the rooms very hot and stuffy at night.

Not the best place to stay

Not a hotel for business stay, the hotel is very old and no amentities and way inside from the taxi stands, train stations and bus stops. They dont have even a kettle or fridge at the room and if you have to drink even a tea or hot water, you would have to go to the kitchen. The room ventilation is so bad and there are no air conditioners or fans to central cooling units. After staying at this place for a week, I would definitely advise not a worth to stay here.

Friendly Staff

from when I walked into the hotel I was made very welcome. The room was really nice with great decoration and furnishings. Only downside is that I sleep with the windows open and the regular clock chiming outside did disturb me. But it wouldn't put me off recommending this hotel.
