6/10 Good

Good location. The room was on the back side of the hotel and very calm. Quite spacious, but with basic amenities for a 4 stars hotel. Also, no special facilities were available, as one would expect from a 4 star hotel. The breakfast was ok, but 25.-chf was in my opinion a bit too high with respect to the offering of food and beverage variety.

Incredibly friendly staff, the hotel was very clean. Was a little bit disappointed with breakfast. Somehow it wasn’t very appetising. But it was okay. The pillows were also not very comfortable.
