A localização é ótima, mas faltou um ar condicionado, só tinha ventilador. E na minha opinião faltou um frigobar. O quarto é pequeno, mas ok. Não gostei dos quartos em outra rua, longe da recepção.

Only stay here if you want to get yelled at
Only good things about this hotel were Domeni and Katharina. Rooms were dirty (first reeked of cigarette smoke and 2nd was dirty). Night front desk manager yelled at me when I asked him to bring me the plug to the tea kettle. He actually came to the room to look for it as if I get jollies from stealing tea kettle plugs. Ridiculous!

Hospedagem na medida
O hotel é ok, achei muito limpo. O quarto em que fiquei era pequeno, mas acomodava tranquilamente. O check in é feito em uma rua abaixo de onde fica este hotel, mas não foi um problema. Estávamos de carro e usamos o estacionamento do hotel, achei confortável, pois ficava dentro do prédio (o estacionamento é pago, foi cerca de 30 francos suíços por dia). Não é nenhum luxo, é o tipo de hotel para apenas deixar as malas e curtir a cidade. Fica bem no centro de tudo, de lojas e restaurantes, não precisei usar o carro para sair por lá. Recomendo este hotel pela localização e cordialidade dos funcionários, mas não para um descanso.
