    Friendly English speaking staff at reception. The room was basic but the beds comfortable and clean. A great choice at breakfast which was excellent. We stayed at the start and finish of the Buirabahnli Safari 3 day hike 🥾

    The shared toilet was very small Sounds from the hallway and rooms were quite present in the room given the old thin walls and the squeaky floors

    Great hospitality by the happy and helpful hosts - at a wonderfully central location

    Shared bathroom is fine to save money, but it could do with some refurbishment, huge room for one shower for the floor, and a tiny bathroom elsewhere (extra tip, there are two bathrooms between many of the floors too).

    Good location, nice welcome; for Switzerland, reasonably priced. Breakfast nice. In hotel restaurant was good, and while expensive, no more so than elsewhere nearby.

    Simple and rustic, comfortable single bed, exceptionally clean. Very friendly staff and great breakfast. No sound isolation, so can her neigbouring rooms, but quiet hours were respected, so was very quiet overnight. Great choice if travelling on a tight budget and happy to use shared bathroom facilities.

    Neither of us slept well. Beds weren't the most comfortable. They also weren't made for tall people.

    Included breakfast. Great facilities.

    The building is quite old and there is a lot of worn-down carpets everywhere, not everyone's cup of tea. The only thing I missed was some good blinds to darken the room during the night, there was only one curtain. Also, there was a bit of noise from the rooms around when it was time to sleep. But nothing dramatic.

    The staff at reception were extraordinarily friendly and helpful. The building is quite old and the hostel part in which I stayed could need some renovation. But the room was quite big, the bed was comfortable, there was a desk, a washing basin in the room, wifi was excellent and everything worked. There was always a bathroom or a toilet in the hallway available. There is a lift and a tea buffet to get a cup of tea whenever you want one. I love that! Breakfast was great as well. I enjoyed my stay a lot and will definitely come again!

    Hostel walls are thin and therefore if your neighbours are noisy this can be annoying. Overall stilla positive experience

    Place was cozy with very friendly staff and great breakfast. Location was also a big plus as very close to bus routes and main strip.

    Very friendly family that runs the hotel/hostel. Because it was still low season we got a free upgrade to a better room which is always a nice surprise. The room was very comfortable and the location is fantastic. There is also a lovely little common area where you can watch TV and enjoy a free selection of teas.
