The room was very clean and comfortable, but small as was the bathroom. The balcony was tiny with a view of the alleyway in the back of the hotel. The breakfast was delicious with a variety of foods to choose from. The staff were friendly and helpful!

Decent hotel. Excellent location. The breakfast that comes with it is a plus, especially considering how expensive dining is around here and Switzerland in general. The dining area also has a community fridge for guests to use along with a microwave. I like the 24/7 free coffee machine and the selections of teaa in the dining area for guests.

Close to train station, covered bridges, and Old Town, but a bit basic. Front desk personnel were professional and helpful, but the desk and entry are not supervised overnight. One needs a key to enter after hours. Breakfast was plentiful.
