Pros:

We traveled over heat wave and air conditioned room was very appreciated, we stayed on 3rd floor no traffic noise , we had excellent sleep.. But maybe because 3 nights before we did not slept at all. Room was basic, but we did not expect Ed or wished more for our short stay.

Cons:

Air conditioning and noise absence

Pros:

Good value for money. Nice rooms, building and views.
Melissa was fair and reasonable.

Staff need to realise FRANCS are much more than non euro dollars and we need to save our money.

Coffee machine in foyer good idea but very small serves.

Cons:

No cafe close.
Kitchenet had no facilities.
Had to pay 15 francs if u wanted them but as a solo traveller this was not worth 30 Australian dollars.
Suggest the Guest house trials having basics in room and update the add to say if they are going to charge you.
Currently only one paper cup for a 4 day stay and small glass. No cup plate or cutlery. The cost of providing basics outweighs the feeling of tightness and stingy rationing vibe.

Afternoon male host insisted that giving instant coffee sachets to me was "too much" when in fact I had one in the room for a 4 night stay and he complained twice as he made me ask 2 days for 3 sachets ech day of weak instant coffee.
Suggest he needs training on what being hospitable is.

Perfetto
Pros:

Posizione strategica,

Cons:

A mio avviso nella stanza dove alloggiavo manca un specchio grande per specchiarsi prima di uscire. C’è uno in bagno ma metà busto. Per il resto tutto a posto

Pros:

Saubere Zimmer, Klimaanlage, komfortable Betten inkl. Kopfkissen, ruhig. Ausserdem die Möglichkeit unsere Fahrräder sicher unterzustellen.
Gerne wieder!

Cons:

Ich finde es schade, dass es zwar eine Küchenzeile gibt, diese aber KEINE Kochutensilien hat. Einfach NICHTS ausser ein paar Pappbechern, einen Kühlschrank, einen Wasserkocher und Teebeutel. Man kann noch nicht einmal eine kleine Brotzeit zubereiten, es sei denn man gibt 15 Fr. aus um sich Utensilien zu mieten. Für eine Nacht macht das wenig Sinn.
Die Duschvorhänge sind zwar schick, aber leider viel zu schmal.

Pros:

Habitación amplia y luminosa. Muy cerca de la estación de tren en autobús y relativamente cerca a pie del lago. El personal nos imprimió sin coste algunas reservas de viaje . Estancia cómoda.

Cons:

Es una pena que, teniendo cocina, haya que pagar por usarla. Aún así, el hervidor y el microondas nos fueron útiles. El baño está un poco anticuado.
