The room was clean and the breakfast good. Staff were helpful. The main shortcoming was that the hotel played canned music at breakfast - I prefer quiet. They also did this in the evening (when it is a steakhouse), although we could have gone elsewhere to eat then. Also there is a public clock somewhere near which chimes the quarter hour and is not switched off at night. (Not the hotel's fault nor the fact of our not knowing that Swiss electric sockets are different from other European ones.)

The issue is that it this was NOT a hotel . It is a few decent rooms above a steakhouse. There was no reception or lobby or night staff. Ideally i would like a refund, as this was advertised as a hotel but was just rooms above a restaurant.

Unusual in that you check-in with restaurant staff. Had to duck to enter the shower. Otherwise no complaints. Staff kindly loaned me a plug adapter (Switzerland is different from Germany which I didn't realize).

The room was small but roomy enough for one person. I could not find a way to regulate the air temperature from the mini-split so I had to open the windows to get some cooler air. Breakfast was quite nice with excellent coffee and eggs, bread, and yoghurt.

Great location. You had to enter the restaurant to check in and to enter after that, we had to go through a back alley. Breakfast was included, it was fine. Beds were not comfortable. But location made it worth it.

Affordable and clean

It was a bit of a walk from the train station, but not too bad as long as it's not raining. Room was clean and decent. The breakfast was continental. Buy an electrical adapter as soon as possible. What we brought from the U.S. was not compatible. Buy your Swiss travel pass at the train station upon arrival or online.

Absolutely great location. No doubt. Walkable distance anywhere, city transportation around the corner. Noisy street. Windows seal the sound outside very well, but then there is no fresh air. Breakfasts could be richer and they did not vary during the stay. Staff refused to service any drinks without ordering a steak.... Next time it will be different place.
