Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and provided a lovely view of the town from the balcony, and they were soundproof when needed. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff who even offered an electric car ride to the Bahnhof. The location was perfect, near the main bus station and a short walk from the train station. Dining options were fantastic, especially for breakfast. A couple of minor cons were the surprise city tax and mid-range pricing for UK standards.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and modern with a beautiful balcony overlooking the Matterhorn mountain. The service was top-notch, with kind staff and easy access to ski storage. The location was convenient, being close to the station and the main street. The dining experience was excellent, offering a great variety in a traditional Swiss chalet-style ambience. Overall, a great value for money.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, enjoying the clean and cozy rooms and the extremely friendly staff. The location was convenient, and the dining experience was lovely, although more vegan options would have been appreciated. The facilities were well-maintained, providing a comfortable and enjoyable experience overall.
