The services were even better than I had imagined: everything was very clean, very efficient and I was provided with all the things that I needed. The location was ideal, some minutes away walking distance from the cental train station as well as from a public transport stop for the city center. The staff was extremely polite with me and amazingly helpful to all the requests of mine. I would totally recommend it and stay there again!

This was a very clean, decent hotel and for a pretty good price by Swiss standards. The room was spotless and the bathroom seemed newly renovated with a powerful, warm shower. The location was a 15min walk from old town and around 25 from the sbb which was fine for me but there are trams nearby if you don't fancy it.
