I regret that I had a most disagreeable experience with this hotel. Having booked online for a week with my two teenage children in April 2006, we arrived to find the room offered to us was impossibly small for three people. The hotel management anticiipated this. They immediately offered an alternative with more space and, inevitably, at a higher price. Having initially agreed, within an hour I decided this was just unacceptable and decided to change hotels. In a difficult exchange with the hotel owner I paid 150 Euro cash in compensation. I found later that the hotel deducted, without warning, a further 165 Euro from my credit card. There was no prior warning of such a penalty. There is no cancellation information published on the web site. While I recognise a cancellation can cause inconvenience that should be compensated, it is completely unacceptable for money to be deducted directly from a credit card without due notice. In most countries, including Switzerland, that is regarded as theft. I am, of course, virtually powerless to challenge this action without incurring even more expense, but prospsective visitors should be warned that promises made on booking may not be delivered and that the company is not beyond behaviour that is unworthy of any reputable hotel.
