Pros:

We stayed at Hotel Rio Muralto for one night and had a very pleasant experience. The hotel is in a great location, right in the centre, with the lakeside promenade within easy walking distance. The parking is very convenient, and the breakfast offers a good choice, including eggs, cold cuts, and a selection of cheeses and meats. The room also had air conditioning, which was a plus.

Overall, everything was good and we were satisfied with our stay. The only thing that could be improved is the quality of the mattress and pillows, which could be more comfortable.

We would be happy to stay here again.

Schönes Zimmer mit super Ausgangslage für Aktivitäten
Pros:

Das Hotel ist prima gelegen, der See und die Innenstadt sind fussläufig in wenigen Minuten zu erreichen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir konnten einen Parkplatz zu fairen Konditionen nutzen. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber, geräumig und aufgrund der extrem hohen Decken sehr schön und hell. Durch die vorhandenen Gardinen ließ sich das Zimmer sehr gut abdunkeln. Das vorhandene Bett war bequem. Das Tageslichtbad war ausgezeichnet. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt.

Cons:

Trotz vorhandener Klimaanlage und einem mobilen Ventilator wurde es extrem stickig in der Nacht, bedingt durch die hohen Decken. Insgesamt war der Preis recht hoch.

Empfehlenswert
Pros:

Das Zimmer war sauber und hatte alles, was ich brauchte. Das Personal war ausgesprochen nett und das Frühstück war gut. Besonders toll fand ich, dass man den ganzen Tag über gratis Kaffee trinken konnte. :-) Nie Nähe zum Bahnhof und zum See war für mich perfekt.
