Old hotel that has seen better days.
Pros:

Friendly service.

Cons:

Old hotel that has seen better days. No facilities in the room, such as, for example, a water boiler or a coffee maker. No AC in the rooms. It was hot, so sleeping with the windows open was the only option. However, the hotel is on the main street, which is noisy throughout the night. Breakfast options were fairly limited.

Bon séjour
Pros:

Nous n'avons pas très bien dormi à l'hôtel mais cela n'est pas du fait de l'hôtel même, c'était dû à la chaleur extérieure et au fait que la coupe du monde de foot ai été retransmise non loin de là sur une place publique.
Nous avons beaucoup, vraiment beaucoup apprécié le petit déjeuner (le meilleur capuccino de ma vie !), des produits variés et frais, de bonne qualité, nous nous sommes bien régalées !

Cons:

Il n'y a pas de petit frigo dans la chambre. Une bouteille d'eau en bienvenue aurait été appréciable vu la chaleur, plutôt que la petite barre d'ovomaltine (mais je dois avouer que nous l'avons bien dévorée malgré tout !)

Authentic Swiss atmosphere and wonderful staff
Pros:

I stayed at the SEELANDHOTEL Weisses Kreuz in Lyss for two nights and had a pleasant experience.

The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The food was also of very good quality and added to the enjoyable stay.

The rooms are somewhat dated and do not have air conditioning, but the hotel has a beautiful, authentic Swiss character and atmosphere. This gives the hotel a special charm that you do not find in more modern hotels.

Lyss itself is a lovely and friendly town and well worth visiting. Overall, I had a very enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend both the hotel and the town.
