Arlette Am Hauptbahnhof Hotel

Arlette Am Hauptbahnhof Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is very conveniently located with just a 5 minute walk from the train station. Plenty of places to eat near the hotel incl. a middle easter restaurant. The station also has a lot of places to eat grocery stores. So Location is fantastic. The Hotel room was also very clean; small but comfortable. Air-conditioning worked great. The services provided by the Hotel was EXCELLENT and I am very grateful to the Manager of 10/1/26 (Jacoob?). Even though I was early to the hotel at 9 am, he allocated me my room while the actual check in time was much later. This helped me rest a little and then head out fresh, He was KIND to allow me to keep my luggage for more than a day after check out as I was travelling within Switzerland. What a great hospitality. I would very highly recommend this hotel"
