"I would not recommend this hotel.
During our stay in May 2026, the sofa bed in our room collapsed in the middle of the night while my son was sleeping on it under normal use. This created a serious safety concern and significantly disrupted our stay. Photos of the broken sofa bed are attached.
The hotel acknowledged the incident and agreed to provide CHF 150 in compensation. Because the reservation was made through Expedia, the hotel stated that it could not refund my credit card directly and requested my banking information instead, which I promptly provided.
More than three weeks passed without any payment despite multiple follow-up emails. Management repeatedly indicated that the compensation would be processed, yet no payment was received and communication became increasingly limited. I ultimately obtained a refund through Expedia.
Had the hotel informed me from the beginning that Expedia was the appropriate channel for resolving the matter, it would have saved weeks of unnecessary waiting and repeated follow-up requests. The hotel did not respond to my emails at the end.
Problems can happen at any hotel, but clear communication and follow-through are important. Based on both the incident and the way it was handled afterward, I cannot recommend this hotel."
"Clean, right at the train station, so location good for those travelling…..very simple rooms and furnishings. If you aren’t looking for bells and whistles this could work."
"Great location with a private parking garage space if required. Very nice breakfast and friendly staff. No air conditioning in room although a fan was provided."
"Note Expedia defaults to rooms at back of property which when we stayed were very noisy late at night with people and cars until the early hours. Lakeside rooms were available but significantly more. Just remember to factor that in when making your choice."
"Excellent staff - upgraded me to a lake view!
Older, unrefurbished hotel but clean, decorated and functional. Good value for an expensive town. I would certainly stay here again."
"Great location but the hotel is a bit older and the rooms show it. Also we woke up to multiple ants on the floor of our room and the staff was not helpful at all which was disappointing."

"Very nice hotel. Our only complaints were the people slamming their doors throughout the night. It was loud! Also, hotel is advertised as having air conditioning. There is a thermostat on on the wall however it did not cool the room when we placed it on this setting. We came back about one hour later and it was the same. My husband called the front desk and was informed there is no A/C. If we wanted cooler temperatures we were instructed to open our window. It was a bit too warm for us and very humid in the morning."
