Well-decorated and comfortable rooms
Spacious, well-equipped apartments/rooms
On-site restaurant noted as excellent by several guests (including rooftop option)
Cleanliness praised in multiple reviews
Communal kitchen and pleasant shared lounge spaces
Cons:
Serious service failure: no response to emergency number; no hot water / low pressure reported
Breakfast sometimes meagre or only self-service with limited service
Noise for rooms facing parking/airfield
Strange smell reported in one room; unexpected bed configuration in another (bunked queen beds)
Privacy and shared-space issues (guests leaving belongings in common area)
Restaurant closed some evenings (e.g., Tuesday) and not always communicated
Accessibility concern: bed height too low for guests with reduced mobility

Categories

Cleanliness
1
Multiple reviews explicitly note rooms are clean and well-kept (mentions in Dutch, Turkish and French), though one report of a strange smell in an initial room and shared-area plate handling lowers perfection.
Service
1
Mixed feedback: several positive mentions of friendly staff, but a serious service failure (no response to emergency number, no follow-up about lack of hot water/pressure) and some comments about poor reception quality justify an overall negative score.
Location
1
Location repeatedly praised (near airfield, convenient for ski stations and highway access, scenic mountain setting); occasional notes about being near parking/airfield causing possible noise.
Room Quality
1
Rooms described as modern, spacious and well-equipped with comfortable bedding in many reviews; isolated issues include an odd smell in one room, one room layout (bunk-style beds) and a bed height concern for mobility-impaired guests.
Amenities
1
Amenities like the communal kitchen, well-stocked breakfasts, roof-top restaurant and card access are praised; some friction around self-service breakfast logistics and shared-space use.
Value for Money
1
Standard quality for this hotel tier — there is no explicit commentary about price/value in the reviews, so assigned target-level sentiment adjusted slightly negative to reflect mixed comments on breakfast/service.
Food and Beverage
1
Mixed F&B feedback: several reviewers praise the on-site restaurant and some breakfasts, but others call the breakfast meagre or poorly served (self-service) and note the restaurant being closed on a Tuesday — overall slightly negative.
Overall Experience
1
Many guests report a very good stay and intention to return; however, notable operational issues (water, emergency response, some noise and privacy concerns) temper the overall impression to mildly positive.

Ein Erlebnis im Tower
Pros:

Wirklich ein Erlebnis und gut gemacht mit dem Self-Check.

Cons:

Das Check- out hat nicht wirklich funktioniert und war völlig unklar. Plötzlich war die Zimmerkarte weg und das System war wie gelöscht. War sehr Eigenartig

Pros:

petit déjeuner copieux
vue de la terrasse
propre et simple

Cons:

Je regrette l'éclairage trop faible dans la salle de bains.
Le boîtier à l'entrée ne nous a pas permis de rendre la carte de chambre, que nous avons glissée dans la boîte aux lettres.
