The bed was very comfortable. The room was quiet despite the hotel being between the railroad and the highway. It was a 10 minute walk from the train station and a 10 minute walk to the gondola base station.

Alpin Malta

We had a nice stay at this place, proper hostel style, we were a group of 4 motorcyclists and shared a room of 4. The room was simple, but exactly what we needed. The balcony was a nice plus, with views on the mountains surrounding the town. We had a couple of beers at night in the neighboring hotel which seems to be related to St. Jacob. Great bar staff kept us supplied of beers until the very end. Great friendly people Breakfast was complete and nice too.
