    Great for our short visit.

    The room sometimes got warm but since it was March, we just opened the window to cool us off. Duvet on the bed just fit over the bed. I’m sure I could’ve asked for another duvet if I wanted to, but we were only there for a few nights and so it wasn’t a bother.

    Price was great. Room was small but we didn’t stay in the room and so didn’t mind. Bathroom was small but it was newer and worked great with good water pressure. We walked to and from the train station in about 15 mins. There was a bus that we could’ve taken just outside the hotel. The hotel provided a transportation card that we used for free bus rides. Our favorite things in the area for our short visit - walks along the lake, Charlie’s World (a surprisingly great thing to do), and Chateau de Chillon.

    A great spot if you have a car and not planing on being in the room much.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Queen Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The bathroom is small but managbale for not verry big humans. There was no place to open the suitcase other than the floor. There is no storage/closet space at all. There was no direct link to the reception. The higher floor has a flight of stairs with no elevator, other floors are conected to the elevator. The room can only be freshend by opening the window, there is no AC or fan.

    The room was clean, and had a big window. It is ok for one person yet would be barely enough for two. There is alittle table with one chair, a bed, two night stands and a TV. The location is 1.4km from the center up the hill - it is an OK walk when not extreamly hot. You get a transportation pass when you get to the hotel. but there is no bus from the center late at night so walking is necesary. The personal were very friendly and helpful. There is breakfast available if you inform the desk in the afternoon of the previous day.

    Best Hotel if visiting Chaplin World

    The room we had was a bit on the small size, which did not bother us as we were out all the time and only used the room for the night!

    We liked that is was close, that is walking distance to the Chaplin World, which was the purpose of our visit! "Downtown" is walkable from the hotel However the hotel give you free passes to the bus, which really came in handy.

    Staff were really friendly and helpful. Free local area transport and discounts are included. We were also able to leave our bags on departure day and pick them up in the afternoon before travelling on by train. Our room was small and basic, as was the bathroom, but this is reflected in the relatively budget friendly room charge and was what we expected. The hotel is in walking distance to Chaplins World.

    Lift does not reach the top floor and suitcases need to be carried up a flight of stairs. The manager at the hotel offered his help with carrying the luggage up the stairs.

    Very friendly and helpfully staff. Great place to stay for a few days. Easy to get around with public transport pass that is payed through the city tax.

    Nothing really! Just perhaps clearer details on how to get to the hotel. If arriving by train, there is a local train (3 mins) to the hotel from the opposite side of the 'city' entrance/exit of the main station.

    The gentleman at the reception was lovely and super helpful. Gave us tips and information on what to see around the city as well as local information. Also gave us two discount cards for the main attractions which were a huge help!

    It's really far from anything interesting. There's not much to do at night, nothing is really in a walking distance, but I guess it's something we knew about beforehand so wasn't too important for us

    Best value for money hotel in all of our Switzerland trip. Free (though a bit tight) parking, small but clean room, and informative staff about what we can do around. It's not much, but it met our overall expectations.

    about as basic as you can get.. the bathroom was very small or maybe tiny.

    Breakfast was OK but after staying overniht, we didnt have any high expectations. This hotel is about as bare bones as u can make it. They had parking for only 6 cars and if u left and those parking slots were taken, you would be SOL. we left the car parked and the host gave us free bus passes to use to get into town, as its too far to walk. the host tried to make our stay more comfortable.

    This was very basic out of town hotel. Breakfast was expensive and desultory but I guess for Switzerland we shouldn't have expected very much more at the price.

    Nothing to say really. Good place to stay.

    This is a good hotel. We enjoyed staying there. The room was compact but large enough for our needs. Its was very clean neat and tidy. Its about 15 mins walk from the lake but the price reflects this. If you want luxury look elsewhere but this hotel offers good value for money.
