很棒
Pros:

位置很赞,房间也很舒适。开始看照片以为有点破旧,但入住后发现完全不会,实际比照片好太多啦。给我们分到的房间在顶楼,带有唯一一个空调,还是美的的。感动得想流泪。不过其实这几天也用不上。
早餐是传统B&B,虽然菜单不变,但也足够啦。
餐厅不错,对比了几个fondue,这家面包是单独一个个小的烤的,很棒。

Cons:

都很好

下次可能会换个酒店。。。
Pros:

前台很热情,送的guide很有用,很细心地告诉我们几个塔楼怎么走,怎么去狮子像。
位置还不错,离斯普罗叶桥比较近。
定的三人间,给了两个房间共同一个厕所的套房,面积不小,但是朝着山坡,打开窗户没有景色。感觉挺像宿舍。看宾馆门口还挂了一个酒店管理学校的牌子,有一两层是给学校用的。
住的那天还挺热,开风扇又不习惯,早上热醒了。。。

Cons:

可能住朝河的那边会舒服很多。

This was the worst stay of our trip. Our room was next to a construction site, and the noise from the construction work

Nice hotel, I would stay here again!
Pros:

Staff were very helpful. The room was perfect for our needs. Breakfast was nice in the mornings. Walking distance to all areas of interest in the city.

Cons:

It is typical that hotels do not have AC in Switzerland. It was very warm this July and our room was very hot. They provided a large floor fan and we opened windows which was helpful. However, it was very warm in the room and took a long time to cool off in the evenings.
