I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, especially because the location is so convenient right across from the train station. The rooms were spacious and incredibly clean, offering stunning views of the Swiss countryside. However, the dining options were somewhat lacking, and I felt the breakfast menu could use some improvement. Overall, it was a good value for the money, but just be prepared for the dining experience to be basic.

This hotel offers decent accommodations with an apartment-style room that exceeded my expectations, complete with a balcony overlooking the picturesque Swiss countryside. While the location is superb, conveniently across from the train station, the service was a letdown as the staff became rude during my stay. The breakfast was quite nice, and overall, the hotel represented good value for money despite a few hiccups in service.

I recently stayed at a hotel with breathtaking views of the Swiss countryside and a fantastic location right across from the train station, which made getting around super convenient. The rooms were spacious and had a nice balcony, but unfortunately, there was a lingering smoke smell from the bar area. The staff was initially very friendly and accommodating, but the service took a downturn during my stay, prompting me to leave for another location, though it ended up costing a bit more. Overall, it had great potential, but I encountered a few issues that made my experience less than perfect.
