Pros:

Хорошее расположение, чисто, дружелюбный хозяин. Понравилось то, что check in онлайн, затем тебе присылают ключ-код, это очень удобно. Единственное, что неожиданно, это то что парковку надо бронировать за 24 часа. Мы не успели, но это не было проблемой, так как вокруг отеля много парковочных мест, где вы можете купить дневной билет ( на 24 часа) за 7 швейцарских франков. В нашем номере был балкон, что тоже было приятной неожиданностью.

Cons:

Я всем довольна.

Mon premier hotel en Self Check-in
Pros:

Le côté pratique, la sécurité, et le fait d'avoir un point d'ancrage.
Il y avait un ventilateur, ce qui m'a permis de mieux supporter la chaleur.
Même en affirmant ne rien pouvoir faire, le personnel a fait plus que je ne le pensais : me donner un numéro qui m'a beaucoup aidé, le numéro du gérant j'ai pu avoir le code des deux derniers jours du séjour.

Cons:

Suite à une erreur, j'ai envoyé le mauvais mail, et du coup, je n'ai pas reçu les codes pour entrer, mais le personnel n'y est pour rien, je n'étais simplement pas habitué au Self Check-In, vu que c'était la première fois que j'y avais droit.

Einfaches, sauberes Hotel, wir haben uns sehrr wohl gefühlt.
Pros:

Ein einfaches, sehr sauberes Zimmer an einer ruhigen Lage. War sehr gut vom Bahnhof zu erreichen.

Cons:

Es wäre schön, wenn noch eine zweite WC-Papierrolle da gewesen wäre.
Ansonsten alles Tipptopp!

Ik kom er niet meer terug
Pros:

Het was schoon en het personeel (op afstand) zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam

Cons:

Heel gedateerd, muffe geur, en het lijkt of je naast de snelweg slaapt. Veel overlast gehad van het verkeer en een klapperend rekje bij het raam. Helaas niet kunnen slapen en blij dat het maar voor 1 nacht was.
Daarnaast is Biel uitgestorven in de zomer
