to get started.

Nice hotel with a great view of the nearby bay from our room and from their breakfast patio. Comfortable and pretty garden area. Staff were friendly and helpful. Both the interior and exterior of the hotel are clean and attractive. Breakfast was very good with a variety of good food options. Location is good; it's less than a block to the tram to take you down to the beach and only couple of blocks to the main shopping area.

Staff was friendly and helpful. The room with the sea view was really nice. Breakfast was outstanding. The patio area is nice as well. We were about half-way through our 3 week trip and appreciated all the special touches of the hotel. It was really close to the Interbus station (Interbus brings you uphill from the train station). It was also close to the main sites.

Overall great hotel and our room had an incredible view but I adore a comfortable bed and the bed was not that comfortable. Also bathroom was a bit small for my boyfriend who is 6'1 so as a practicality would not stay here again but we are just really picky about bathrooms and beds.

Svizzera parking lot. Front desk told us we could pick up our car when we checked out. However, lot was empty so we had to call and wait on the street with our luggage for a staff person to open when the gate.
Excellent view from Twin Room with Terrace and Sea View - Attic Scrambled eggs and bacon at breakfast. Nice breakfast patio area. Great cheese stuffed with herbs and olives. Elevator a huge plus as we were on the top floor. Easy walk to the main sites.
