I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The rooms were clean, cozy, and had everything I needed, plus they were larger than I expected. The service was top-notch and included delightful touches like straight out of the oven apple strudel. The location was perfect, right next to the funicular and a short walk to the lake. The dining experience was exceptional, offering a wide array of delicious treats. I only wish there were more facilities available, but overall, a fantastic value for the money.

The hotel had very clean and comfortable rooms, with top quality bed linens, albeit on the smaller side. The service was friendly and on the ball, with immediate solutions and a smile. The location, right in the center of the city and just in front of the funicular station, made it a superb choice. The dining experience offered diverse and plentiful options, although not very tasty. Overall, a great value for money stay.

The hotel has spotless clean rooms that are more comfortable than the older ones. The plumbing had some severe issues, starting with the sink. The service was amazing, with friendly and accommodating staff who helped me even though I was limited to English for communication. The location is excellent and central to everything, at the bottom of the Funicular leading to the pathway of the old Citta. The dining experience offers a wonderful selection of meals, including authentic Swiss hot chocolate. However, the price might not be the most budget-friendly and could be a bit of a downside.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with large bathrooms which we found more comfortable than the older rooms our friends had, making it ideal for small families.

The location is superb, right near the funiculaire to the railway station and in the very center, perfect for work meetings and exploring the city. The dining options were of high quality, with a delicious breakfast buffet that remains one of the best. Overall, the facilities were excellent, providing a seamless stay.
