Pros:

Location was not too bad, by the river with acceptable distance to town center

Cons:

There was a thick moldy smell in the room. Probably due to poor ventilation. There was no active ventilation, not even a passive vent. Not even in the bathroom. Having doors open was not enough to vent the smell. Entry door open at night was anyway not allowed, and one of many weird rules that was under threat of 500 CHF fine or even arrest, through rules posted in the room. The weirdest rule was that if you let the shower curtain fall outside the bathtub, or otherwise spilled water on the bathroom floor, you would be fined a minimum of 500 CHF. I counted close to 20 rules on posts in the room, some normal but several weird, under threat of large fines or even arrest. Bad air quality was the biggest drawback though.

Embarrassed that I allowed myself to be conned into staying at this place.
Pros:

Not much

Cons:

The wi-fi was mostly useless for most of our visit until the manager brought a tech on site to fix it. We had flies in our room every night. No cabs in the vicinity and no manager on duty until 3 PM to call a cab. We were obliged multiple times to walk nearly a mile to town to find food, either supermarket or restaurant. We had no interest in the Indian food served on site. We were provided 3 towels for 2 people for 3 nights. Room accommodations were roughly equivalent to Motel 6, and at $500/night represented a total ripoff.

Highly recommend. Well worth the cost considering the great location
Pros:

Relative to other hotel in the area, River Village is the most reasonable. The walk along the river was great (without luggage after check in). Very good size of room. Good that there’s a kettle, coffee and crème for us coming from US 😊

Cons:

The walk to hotel when we had luggage. They can probably charge extra for pick up. But owner was so nice to give us a ride leaving hotel because he happen to be available

Com certeza voltaria!
Pros:

O quarto muito limpo. A vista era excelente, em frente ao rio. Quando acordava e abria a cortina a vista era incrível. A localização eu gostei muito, vi algumas pessoas falando sobre ter que ir contornar o rio ser problema, mas gostei dessa caminhada a beira do rio. O dono do hotel nos levou até a rodoviária no dia do nosso check out. COm certeza voltaria. Tem um microondas na frente do hotel que pode ser usado por todos. Que facilitou muito.

Cons:

NAda a reclamar. TUdo perfeito. Totalmente satisfeito

Grosses Zimmer mit schöner Aussicht zum Fluss, gerade noch akzeptables Preis Leistungs Verhältnis
Pros:

Ruhige Lage beim Fluss, grosses Zimmer mit Parkplatz vor der Tür

Cons:

Das Zimmer hatte verschiedene Duftstoffe und das war am Anfang ein bisschen ungewöhnlich, leider keine Reception 24 Stunden , nur von 15-21:30 Uhr, auch nur ein indisches Restaurant im Hotel, es gab eine Badewanne im Zimmer aber man konnte nicht baden sondern nur duschen.
