What an iconic Swiss property! Location is easy 1/4 block from train station. Breakfast and service was very nice-- although I'd recommend going just across street to a great coffee and breakfast place instead. Our room had a balcony that faced the main street which was wonderful to sit, relax, and watch people going by. No coffee in room but easy stroll down to breakfast to pickup and bring back. Beds very comfortable and of course bathroom floor heated. Although not in any welcome instructions-- DO NOT follow google maps and drive into town-- major tourist faux pas :( since it's a car free city.

The property looks so authentic and aged while on the inside it has been so nicely updated with really nice modern features and fixtures. This part of town of gorgeous, the restaurant downstairs amazing and the view from the balcony is awe inspiring. Best of all, the front desk staff was really helpful in pointing us in the right direction with our options for exploring the mountains.

Stayed at Derby hotel for one night, No air conditioning so you have to keep the windows open, since they don’t have screens, you are just inviting mosquitoes and bugs in! On top of that you hear people on the street well passed the midnight.

Everything was what we expected, with the exception of noise at night. Even though we stayed in the apartment building behind the main hotel building, we experienced a lot of noise until after midnight. It was a Saturday night, and our room was directly at the end of side street next to hotel so it seemed the noise was almost amplified from the Main Street through town.

Terrific location, couple of blocks from the train station. This is an older hotel, lobby is clearly quite old. But the upper floors have be all redone. The rooms are very modern and just beautiful. Five stars all the way.

Few steps away from Main train station.
Iconic landmark is the busy Derby restaurant with always long queues seen.
Nice renovated room with nice balcony to see the streets.
