booked this hotel by mistake ('not that one' turned into 'that one' over the phone, doh!), but even though the reviews are pretty bad, the hotel wasn't. Ok it has a cable car going right through it and you can hear it, but that didn't bother me at all and my friend used ear plugs, the walls in our room... More

I have just returned from a wonderful trip of Switzerland spoiled only by this hotel. The funicular runs right through the middle of the hotel - hence a lot of noise. Abrupt to the point of being rude hotel reception staff, dark and unattractive bedrooms, poor breakfast. Nothing to recommend it apart from a good location in the middle of... More

The location is really good. Just beside the window is funicular and it is quite noisey. There is no air conditioning in rooms! Minimalism in everything but as I said location will help you to forget about everything:) More

We were here on a Cosmos Tour for one night and I had read the bad reviews of this property On Trip Advisor and agree it is definitely Tourist class. No air conditioning and just a small fan in room. If your room is over the courtyard then you can't open your window until bar below closes about 10:00 pm... More

Traveling with a Cosmos group this summer. Our room was directly over the funicular that ran up the hill. When I say directly over I mean it ran underneath the floor of our room. Add to that the fact of no A/C , some times a given in Europe, but the oscillating fan didn't do much good. Add to that... More

Stayed here June 27th. Lodgings were chosen by Cosmos on our tour of Switzerland. The room was small and dark and overlooked an inner courtyard. It was very warm outside, and there was no A/C in our room. A small, round, revolving fan, perched on the corner of a desk, provided the only relief. We (non-smokers) could smell cigarette smoke...

The location is good, too bad it is on the side of a hill. There is a funicular (cable car) that runs beside the hotel. It is noisey and shakes the building. There is no air conditioning, it was near 75 degrees when we stayed. We asked for a fan and was told "No" to open the window. Great idea... More

Luckily the funicular only runs from 7 am til about 11 pm...as it literally goes thru the hotel. My room is on the far side away from the hotel, but the sound and vibration do still exist. There is an espresso machine in the room..nice touch. The beds are comfy, the bathroom is big, the wifi is free and works... More
