Switzerland is expensive. For what you will pay at this hotel, you would expect a lot more in most other places in Europe. For all that, it is clean, convenient and includes breakfast (a very typical continental breakfast - don't expect anything but cold choices). It is an easy walk from the train station and is close to the old... More

The room we were assigned was in such bad shape... old, run down, horrible bathroom, old furniture, etc. that as soon as we walked in, we left our luggage and went out to the city to look for another hotel. It was the worst experience during our trip. The pictures in the web sites have NOTHING to do with what... More

The room size is ok for 4 persons with 1 bedroom and 2 separate beds outside the room. There are 2 safes,, 1 flat screen tv but there is no fridge, coffee/tea making facilities, telephone, aircon.

We chose this hotel based on previous Tripadvisor reviews, price and location. For somewhere with a view overlooking the river and close to the train station and old town it is excellent value for money. However it is more like a hostel than a hotel. We had a spacious triple room with private ensuite and although a little dated it... More

Nice stay in Nice hotel. Must say that one of the most friendly receiptions we had. Helpfull with neat and refurnished rooms. Some has view of the lake and others of old town. I certainly would recommend this to travellers however it must be noted that should you arrive from the train station, it would take you about 10 minutes... More

We chanced upon this hotel at the last minute through the Lonely Planet (LP) guide and while it was seviceable, I wouldn't go back. I normally don't use LP to find accommodation and probably wouldn't again, as the review was quite out of date. This is not really a hotel - it's a hostel (and an expensive one at that).... More

Good location, not a long walk to most places, but the amenities are very basic, the rooms are small and use of the kitchen means only the microwave. Shared bathrooms are pretty limited and old, and the rooms have nothing more than a bedside table and a small sink. Managers, some are good others are a bit tempermental. Wifi moves... More

It's just rooms in an office building shared with other businesses. There is a little Lounge room with a tv, but nowhere In the building to get drinks or food in the evening. The rooms are clean but very sparse and basic, they have heating but no air conditioners. My room was on the 5th floor and had a view... More
