Nettes Hotel für einen Wochenendtrip
Pros:

Alle Mitarbeiter waren sehr nett und bemüht. Das Zimmer war sauber, Bett sehr gemütlich (eher weichere Matratze). Das Frühstück hatte eine gute Auswahl mit sehr leckerem Kaffee. Dazu eine Auswahl an Brot, Gipfeli, Rührei/Ei und Müslivariationen wie auch Birchermüsli.
Tiefgarage ist auch vorhanden.

Cons:

Teilweise in die Jahre gekommen

dommage que nous ayons dû quitter l'hôtel si vite.
Pros:

Le personnel est très gentil, on a été très bien acceuillis. le petit déjeuner est parfait et servi dès 6h30 le samedi. Il y a un babyfoot et un jeu d'échec à l'acceuil.

Pros:

L’emplacement en centre-ville à cinq minutes à pied de la gare est top. Le petit déjeuner également est plutôt bon et la literie est confortable

Cons:

Malgré mes plusieurs passages dans cet établissement, c’était la première fois que j’ai trouvé que les chambres étaient très peu insonorisé, j’entendais mes voisins de chambre, discuter et prendre leur douche.
