Luxury boutique five star hotel
Pros:

This hotel was incredible. Five stars and more. So clean and the staff couldn’t more if they tired. The food was first class.
The location was perfect!

Cons:

The spa facilities were not great only treatments available and a sauna/shower. But this wouldn’t stop me staying here again.

Mega schönes interior Design und sehr nettes Personal. Keine Wünsche offen.
Pros:

Lage perfekt! Frühstück 45 Franken auch etwa teuer aber sehr gut, also rechtfertigt den Preis.
Abendessen auf der Veranda ein Genuss.

Cons:

Parken ist mit 40 Franken pro Tag etwas teuer, ansonsten alles top!

Cons:

Inadmissible pour un hôtel 5 étoiles de ne pas vérifier que la clim fonctionne à notre arrivée. Il faisait 27°C dans la chambre alors qu'il en faisait 20°C dehors. Nous avons ouvert les fenêtres mais impossible de dormir avec les bruits des bus et des passants. L'hôtel nous a changé de chambre mais il fasait 26°C dans l'autre chambre. Nous avons payé 350chf pour une chambre minuscule, avec vue sur la rue, sans petit déjeuner. Un supplément de 50chf pour le chien. C'était notre nuit de noce pour notre mariage civil. Bien gâché.
