Pros:

Bardzo dobra lokalizacja - problem może być jeżeli ktoś podróżuje samochodem. W moim wypadku udało się ponieważ hotel ma 3 miejsca przed budynkiem i zaoferowano mi możliwość parkowania bezpłatnie co bardzo miłe. Jeżeli jednak miejsca nie będzie trzeba szukać parkingu gdzie indziej w mieście.

Comfortable and clean hotel with great location
Pros:

I loved my stay at this hotel. I had a single room on the top floor with a small balcony and amazing views. The room is simple and small, but perfect for a stay in a town with so much to see and do. The room was clean and comfortable. The receptionists and the breakfast staff is very friendly. The location of the hotel could not be better.

It’s okay. Gets the job done.
Pros:

Needed a place to stay the night at a reasonable price in Switzerland. Located in the center to do some touristy shopping conveniently.

Cons:

Hair drying didn’t work and a cleaning lady entered the room early in the morning while in bed still.

Wouild recommend and stay here again
Pros:

Breakfast was included and we had evening meals in their restaurant. we felt like we were part of a family.

They were very helpful in suggesting places to see and giving good instructions and suggestions.

Cons:

Unfortunately, due to being in the centre of town which was great, the noise at night from the street was a little loud at times

Pros:

Prima locatie, dichtbij een parkje en op 200 meter van het meer als ook de winkels

Cons:

De 2 single kamers grensden aan een besloten binnen plaatsje, waar vaak even geluid vandaan kwam en dan weer stopte - wij denken dat het met de lift te maken had - dat was een beetje storend als het raam open stond
