We were booked into this hotel by our Swiss agent and we were assigned the garret room, the only one, on the fifth floor. The elevator went to the fourth only so we had a flight to climb with the bags, no big deal.
The room was very spacious, with twin beds, a large couch and two easy chairs. It was newly renovated (or carved out of the attic space) with everything pristine including an interesting star-patterned carpet. The bath was small but adequate with a typical square Swiss shower with doors that slide shut.
There were two windows that provided plenty of ventilation during the chilly nights while we slept under down duvets.
Our dazzling view was directly up the valley to the Matterhorn.
Breakfast was served in the most charming room we experienced. It was completely panelled and furnished in beautiful knotty pine. The food was above average with some of the best rolls we tasted during our stay in Switzerland - from the bakery next store!
