Bien situado
Pros:

Está justo al lado del Río y muy cerca de la estación. El desayuno está muy bien, es el que más variedad y cantidad tenía de los 5 hoteles que hemos estado en el viaje. La chica de recepción fue muy amable y hablaba español

Cons:

Hacia mucha calor en la habitación y no contaba con aire acondicionado, para ir en verano no volvería.

Très belle vue
Pros:

Notre chambre donnait sur le Jungfrau, la vue était magnifique. La chambre était grand.

Cons:

L’hôtel aurait besoin d’un bon rafraîchissement.
Le petit déjeuner est moyen.
Service minimum, on te donne tes clés, tu dois d’enregistrer toi même par téléphone, avec un wifi très faible.

Glad we were given an upgrade or our Swiss holiday would have been spoilt staying in such an awful room.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Don’t stay in this hotel if you’re booking a standard room. Very antiquated & very disappointing for the money charged.
