Pros:

mały, kameralny

Cons:

słabe jedzenie, mały wybór, bardzo małe pokoje, brak możliwości bezpiecznego przechowania roweru/ nart, kaucja 100 CHF, dodatkowe kaucje za wszystko nawet za adapter do gniazdka. Obok hotelu kościół, w którym dzwony biją co 15 min nawet w nocy.

Es war einigermassen angenehm.
Pros:

Die Lage ist unschlagbar. Quasi einen Steinwurf vom Bahnhof und Postauto entfernt. Frühstück war sehr gut, Bedienung freundlich

Cons:

Das Buchen ist kompliziert, weil bei der Auswahl nirgends etwas steht, dass alles elektronisch abgewickelt wird und alle Rückmeldungen auf Englisch verfasst sind. Einzelne Abwicklung von Bezahlung Parkplatz, dann wieder eine Meldung für Fr. 100.— Sicherheitsleistung mit dem Versprechen man bekomme sofort den Zugangs code. Der kommt dann irgend wann in den nächsten Stunden. Abwicklung sehr aufwendig. Personal kann praktisch kein Deutsch.

Prima verblijf voor ons reisdoel.
Pros:

Het ontbijt was uitstekend. De locatie is top, dicht bij alle uitvalswegen in Berner Oberland. Kamer was basic. Hygiene is uitstekend. Het gebouw is iconisch met een lange historie. Het raakt een beetje onderkomen aan de buitenzijde.

Cons:

Het personeel sprak geen Duits of Engels. Daarbij waren ze redelijk stug. De prijs-kwaliteitverhouding is onvoldoende. Voor dit bedrag mag je meer verwachten.

Good location, good breakfast… very noisy and hot in summer with no cooling system.
Pros:

The location is great, very close to the train station and grocery store.

Cons:

It is right next to a Church and the Church bells ring every hour and on the half hour. At 8pm every night they ring for 10-12 minutes. They are very loud. They wake you up every hour. It is difficult to sleep in summer as there is no cooling system and if you leave the windows open, the river and Church bells make it hard to sleep.
We also found rubbish between the beds and left belongings behind the fold out bed.
They do not replace the towels or linen nor do they clean however, they come into your room every day… we found this quite strange.
They also took some containers and cutlery we had purchased to eat our salad from out of our room.

Pros:

Location is both beautiful and functional as it is super close to train station also the view is nice.
Breakfast in that price was variable and tasty.

Cons:

Staff were super nice but communicating lacked like they preferences were to stay back of the dinning room rather than greeting to people and so on..

Rooms were near an old Campanone(church bell)
And it was a little disturbing specially when you wanted to sleep at the moment also room's floor was creaking too much.
