    All the staff ( M Ahmed, Mms Shamsa, and their lady colleague......etc) were brilliant in their customer service. They were very friendly, helpful, courteous, professional, and informative. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The location is 2nd to none. Very close to the lake, the commercial and shopping district, the old town, the railway station, the trams and buses, and even to the town's main coach station. The swimming areas and beaches are within walking distances. The crêperie linked to it ( including its friendly staff) complements the hotel. Definitely, it's location is one of the main selling points of this small minimalistic hotel.

    Overall, it was a good stay.

    Needed to ask toilet paper at the reception, had only 1 or 2 for the full stay. But the overall was OK. The breakfast was fair, but it is not included, It could have scrambled eggs.

    The location was very convenient, close to the bus stop to go to the airport, tram to ONU, walking down the street you are at the lake, walking distance to old town crossing the bridge. Next to a shopping centre with a lot of different options on the 5th floor to have lunch was super. I hope someone told me this, as I found out only on the last day. They kept our luggage safe after check out. I would stay again.

    Not finished to a particularly high standard eg could see areas were walls and been spot painted. Large stain on carpet on first floor. Air conditioner filter needed changing so was blowing dust around the room. Had to pay for any more than the initial 2 Nespresso capsules given in your room which was a bit tight as these are usually provided free in hotels.

    Great location. Hotel was ok and decent value for money. Room was big and decorated nicely.

    The receptionist had me wait a while while she cleared up things from breakfast next door even though there were other staff doing it too. Air con too which is good and rare in Switzerland

    They had a lift. Place was very clean. Large bathroom. Comfortable bed. Room could have been larger, one side of the bed was up against a wall, but that's ok for solo travellers

    The shower in our room was like a fishbowl. You could see into it from every angle. This might be fun for a young couple, but not for a family. My son and I had to take turns sitting in the lobby, while the other showered. We found out when we were checking out that we could have requested another room. If you stay here, request a shower with walls.

    Great location…can’t be beat! Staff was very friendly and the breakfast was good. We really enjoyed this hotel.
