Good hotel, great location, close to the bus line to Geneva.
Pros:

The room was spacious enough and comfortable. Breakfast was good and the staff friendly.

Cons:

Although on the breakfast menu, there was no orange juice for the 2 breakfasts I had there. Also, the hotel should provide regular soap (bars or dispensers) in the bathroom sinks rather than tiny gel-like soap bottles.

Pros:

Freundliches und zuvorkommender Manager und Personal, nettes Gasthaus im Haus

Cons:

Leider war es im Zimmer durch das Gasthaus im Erdgeschoss recht laut, und auch der Schlafkomfort des Bettes ließ zu wünschen übrig.

Pros:

The hotel building. An old well preserved building which is in sort of categorised as a national treasure. The confort of the room. The staff who made up the room every day. The hot water and pressure from the shower. The heating. The view from the room.
The dining rooms very simply decorated fitting with the ambience of the place. The whole team was an absolutely delightful and the food fantastic.

Cons:

The stairs. Lucky we were offered the first floor. Because the stairs were quite abrupt and because of the building's classification a modern lift cannot he added. That's the beauty of the whole building but great for people who are fitter than me.

Pros:

The place is newly reopened and renovated - comfortable bed, cozy room, breakfast was very nice, restaurant is quite good. Good value for money if you are visiting Geneva.

Cons:

It would be good to put an additional soap dispenser next to the sink. The Wifi worked fine on my laptop but not on my phone but it could have been the phone
