Pros:

Rien

Cons:

C'est un restaurant horrible, j'ai eu une intoxication alimentaire à cause de la nourriture que j'ai mangée. Je ne le recommande à personne. Il existe des hôtels plus propres et plus abordables au même endroit.
🤬😡

Pros:

We checked in through the restaurant bar and stayed for 2 nights. The room had 2 bunk beds. The sheets were clean, but the room itself was a bit dusty.

The staff were nice and helpful, which we appreciated. The location is about 1 hour away from Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen.

The bathroom, however, was very small. The toilet was squeezed between the walls and the shower, making it quite uncomfortable to use. Honestly, someone around size 14/16 would struggle to fit there.

Overall, it was okay not terrible, but not great either. If you like old and outdated hotels, this might be for you.

Cons:

Room was too small for a family of 4.

Slitt og dårlig hotel utenfor allfartsvei
Cons:

Veldig slitt dårlig rom.Svært trangt bad. Hadde forventet at et hotell til en høy pris hadde TV på rommet og et internett som fungerte. Mandager er ruhetag på "hotellet" så ta med mat, det er nemlig langt å kjøre for å få tak i det. Frokost serveres ikke før kl 10.00. Min klare anbefaling styr unna dette stedet.

Awful. Avoid at all costs!
Pros:

The location was good.

Cons:

The manager was incredibly unpleasant. She gave a lot of attitude and even insisted I’d only booked for one person even though my booking clearly said two. She never apologised for how stressful she made the check in experience even though she then realised she was at fault. This was stress I didn’t need given I’m pregnant.
