This family-run is centrally placed in the small town of Olten, just off the nearby major motorways. It is ideal for an en-route night-stop - easy access, plenty of parking - but possibly not ideal as a base for more than a day or two.

Everything is spotlessly clean and efficient. The two bedrooms rooms we used were really rather small (even by European standards) but very simple & modern: a double room of just adequate size (Room 106) but with just one bedside light - highly inconvenient if just one of you wants to read in bed! And a slightly larger twin room (114) which had a minute bathroom, with no space for the cat to enter, let alone be swung around.

No English-speaking channels at all on the flat-screen TV, which is surprising and a possible drawback for some. The rooms at the front are well soundproofed from the fairly busy town crossroads so long as the windows are shut, but this means no ventilation; oen, and things get noisy from about 6.30 a.m.

The hospitality was faultless - most staff speak English and are consistently pleasant and helpful. The restaurant and the bar/snack-bar area are both a bit pricey, especially the wine, but the food is plenty and is very well prepared.

On the face of it he overall value for money seems marginal - but then all hotels are costly in Switzerland; however, standards are high here, and you should not be disappointed with your stay.

Location - a very small village about an hour's drive (or more) from major Swiss attractions.
Rooms - clean and modern - SMALL by U.S. standards - be prepared for this - thin walls so you may hear those next to you . . . If you are passing through the area this is a major find . . . if you are looking for a 'hub' to explore Switzerland then be prepared to do a-lot of driving and/or train travel.
WiFi - Rooms have WiFi, and it is fine (good speed for modern lap tops). WARNING - rooms are on the upper floors and there is NO elevator/lift!!!
PARKING - No charge for parking and plenty of room to park!!! Don't park under the trees in the back - they have been cut back and will leak sap all over your car!
Room Cleaning - did not vacuum the room for my entire week-long stay - otherwise perfect. If you need the room vacuumed, you will need to ASK.
Food & Food Service - Breakfast is self-service, 'bar' with Musli, yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, breads, hams and cheeses, with fresh-made coffee and juice. Lunch and dinner are excellent, five star - both food and service - chef can prepare just about anything you like.
Restaurant Service is CLOSED on Tuesday & Wednesday - you can get breakfast, but NO lunch or dinner - and do NOT be tempted to eat across the streets at EITHER of the other two restaurants - they are both terrible when compared to the food at Kreutz! You will have to find a decent restaurant on a side trip if you stay at LK on these days.
PERSONALIZED & FAMILY-OWNED - this is the BEST thing about this hotel. Peter Weber is a very pleasant and gentle soul, who will help you any way he can. He is also a great chef!

At first glance a very ordinary hotel on a crossroads in a small village. It was a delight.
Large comfortable room and excellent bathroom. Super (and generous) dinner on the terrace.
Friendly and efficient staff. Good breakfast.
