Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr gut und auch das Badezimmer ist absolut in Ordnung und auch sauber. Das Personal war weder besonders freundlich noch unfreundlich.

Cons:

Ein Zimmerinventar, welches nicht aus den 80er Jahren stammt, ein Kühlschrank der nicht brummt, ein Scheinwerfer, der nicht vor dem Fenster in der Nacht blinkt und Platz im Zimmer für einen Durchgang vor dem Bett ohne den Kopf anzuschlagen am TV

Pros:

Le personnel aimable

Cons:

Le rapport qualité/prix.... plus de 300chf pour une nuit chambre doube pour 2 personnes et même pas un lit avec un matelas entier... c'était deux matelas l'un à côté de l'autre ou sa crée une séparation dans le lit très désagréable et surtout pas de grande couverture... uniquement deux couvertures vraiment l'impression d'avoir collé deux lit et la literie de 2 lit séparé pour donner l'impression d'un lit double... le confort est horrible pour un couple...
